Has improved error detection significantly but still needs deeper integration with intelligent automation
I have been using Unomaly or LM Envision by LogicMonitor for a year for internal purposes. I personally don't use metrics to evaluate Unomaly's performance as I have a team who handles that aspect. The endgame has moved towards agentic AI. Two years back, it was supposed to be the endgame with ML and prediction anomaly. The world has moved on. Having Unomaly, even the best anomaly doesn't make too much of a difference. The endgame is now about the metrics of autonomy rather than anomaly. What is the degree of autonomy? What is the return on autonomy? Those are the metrics I'm more interested in than just having the anomaly. The world order has shifted, and the KPIs have shifted. They already have Gen AI and agentic AI features, but we haven't used them so far. I will continue to use it in the future for now as it's only been a year. We don't want to change anything internally for now. I would recommend Unomaly to other customers because anybody using observability can and should use Unomaly in the new world. I can't think of any types of companies I would not recommend it to because observability cannot exist without Unomaly nowadays. On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate Unomaly a seven.

Backup policies have strengthened security and replication but still need flexible long-term retention
The support and compatibility are areas of concern. When it comes to Azure workloads, Veeam Data Platform has limitations with only MS SQL database and Cosmos, and no other databases are supported by Veeam Backup for Azure. The main challenge I noticed is that enterprise customers may have a requirement to retain backups for 10 years or 15 years with monthly and weekly backups. In Veeam Data Platform, we do not have customization or compatibility to retain specific data backups as monthly and yearly. The retention schedule is fixed. For instance, it is the first Friday of the backup or the last Friday of the month. If it is weekly, it should be one of the weeks. If it is monthly, it should be the last Friday. For yearly, it is the last Friday of that respective month in that year. However, this should not be the case. When a customer confirms, 'Please go and take an EOD backup and retain it for 10 years,' Veeam Data Platform does not support this sort of customization. I even raised a case with Veeam Data Platform and they clearly stated that Veeam Data Platform only accepts the GFS policy according to the retention defined, and there is no customization available. This is a significant limitation. I should have the customization to go and take a backup of a specific date, month, or year, but Veeam Data Platform does not allow this and restricts me to only the policy supported. For example, if I take any backup, I do not have an option to extend the retention. If a customer asks, 'Please take a backup,' and later requests, 'No, it is very critical. Can you please extend the retention for 15 years?' Veeam Data Platform does not support this. Veeam Data Platform does not allow me to extend the retention in the way other tools do. These are limitations I came across in my experience, and I feel these are minimal requirements. The same features are offered by other third-party backup tools available in the market. From the analytics point of view, I personally feel some challenges. Veeam Data Platform has two different products: VBR and Veeam Backup for Azure. As we are running on cloud platforms, if we are in Azure, we must go for Veeam Backup for Azure. If we need to create copy jobs, I must again come to VBR. However, Veeam ONE is not capable enough to integrate both platforms. For instance, if I am taking backup of workloads through Veeam Backup for Azure, I could not find an option to integrate it into Veeam ONE for reports and analytics. It is only limited to VBR. Whatever jobs we created in VBR are displayed there, but Veeam Backup for Azure does not integrate, at least from what I have explored, and it should not be this way. Veeam ONE should support all Veeam Data Platform products.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Unomaly's anomaly detection capabilities contribute to maintaining system reliability; we cannot find all errors humanly, we cannot configure every possible threshold, and in the new world of intelligence and AI, we need to have this intelligent way of finding out the anomalies."
"Do it, it's a great product and is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is how reliable Veeam Backup is."
"The solution is carefully designed to be easy to use - even if you're in a panic."
"We had a vendor screw up a financial accounting program at tax season, a critical time for one of our customers, and we were able to roll the VM back in under five minutes, and users were back on the software in under 10 minutes from restore."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are ease of use, dashboards, and reporting."
"If you want to have a small and cheap system, that is not Veeam; but if you want performance, reliability, support, then this solution is best for that."
"The solution is quite easy to configure."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"Having Unomaly, even the best anomaly doesn't make too much of a difference."
"We are now looking to move off of DataDomain due to restore speeds."
"When in a domain, the virus can easily attack the Veeam server, something which happened to us."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups. That is a functionality that Veeam does not provide."
"There's a lot of room for improvement surrounding the backup process."
"Besides Wintel environments, it would be good to have DR/HA for Unix/Linux platforms."
"Backup management features are crucial for ensuring the reliability and automation of backup processes."
"Veeam Data Platform should improve its air gap backup features."
"My biggest issue with Veeam at the moment is how the backup reports are displayed. We use the SolarWinds integration to generate consolidated reports for monitoring purposes, but we aren't getting all the available data shown to us in the way that we want."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The cost is expensive. It will depend on how you are managing your environment, your requirements, and if you can easily manage a license. It's not that difficult, so you can manage it, but the cost is high, so you need to check directly with Veeam as well as the local partner so you can get the discount prices."
"We try to use perpetual licensing, and there are no additional costs. They have recently moved to universal licensing, which is more expensive, and I would like them to go back to host licensing."
"The tool’s licensing is yearly and flexible. I would rate the solution’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"It is relatively cheap."
"I would rate the pricing six out of ten when compared to other competitors."
"I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"It's an extremely cost-effective solution."
