Ensures data protection and supports SAP consistency while reducing costs
Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering. It serves as a reliable solution for backup and reporting capabilities about the health of the backups. Even though I am not utilizing all tools and options, it meets my comprehensive requirements and allows backup of emails as well, making it a versatile tool.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection
Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I recommend it to other companies due to its reliable solutions, significant cost reductions, and comprehensive functionality."
"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud’s most valuable feature is data backup and replication."
"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering."
"Dealing with cloud solutions is simple and removes many headaches from troubleshooting and implementing the solution."
"I find Veeam to be a good tool for backing up Office 365 and virtual machine environments."
"The application backup is excellent, and using Veeam for backing up Kubernetes environments is a valuable tool."
"It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
"It integrates easily with third-party solutions compared to other vendors."
"It has helped us transfer the solution in two days instead of working for a minimum of one week to ten days."
"All features of Veeam Data Platform, such as backup, immutability, and replication, are highly valuable."
"The solution is quite stable."
"It helps with process restoration, and with Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"Before Veeam, we had backup infrastructure sprawl. Veeam was able to reduce our overall backup windows while reducing our dedicated backup infrastructure."
"Replication feature is very useful to instantly recover a VM."
 

Cons

"I do not have notes for improvements."
"There could be a feature to take a snapshot for version backup."
"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."
"Some of the prerequisites for Veeam are challenging."
"Its import and export processes for information and policies could be better."
"Direct SAN to SAN replication – it didn’t integrate well with the 3PAR SAN that we had."
"I think that the web interface could be more visual."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"Veeam has more features than we actually use, for example, the virtual labs."
"The initial setup of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward. The process took approximately two days. The setup could be streamlined to take less time."
"I would like to see better features for exporting to cloud-based repositories."
"The implementation of the features can be improved. Currently, there is no segregation of duty. Normally, any backup software or client service software is implemented in a way where one person is responsible for the implementation of the server, and one is responsible for the client, but Veeam Backup & Replication is not implemented in that way. Therefore, restores don't work like that. The backup guys have to do the restores, which is not a good thing. Its pricing should also be improved. It is quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is affordable."
"Veeam has a ten-license package gives you two physical and two virtual servers you can use on any endpoint."
"The price is affordable."
"Veeam is quite expensive. There are no additional costs to the licensing fees. IBM Spectrum Protect is also expensive. They should improve its pricing. They raise the price every time there is an increase in the features of the product. They should think twice about that."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."
"Veeam Backup Replication has a lot of free features. We have a mixture of the paid versions as well as the community version. They are really helpful to us."
"When I did a tech refresh, we took out a subscription for the coming five years."
"It is reasonably very cheap. I would rate the licensing model a one out of ten, where one is very affordable and ten is extremely expensive."
