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.

"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The solution works well in two different environments, whether it is on-premises, cloud, or a combination."
"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."
"It has given me and my customers ease of mind in regards to virtual backup, furthermore it has given us the opportunity to actually test the backup so that we know we can rely on it."
"One of the most valuable features is the simplicity of the solution's administration."
"Its simplicity and the fact that it just works are most valuable."
"Veeam Backup Replication has good performance and can do location-to-location backups. Additionally, it is user-friendly and easy to manage."
 

Cons

"There could be a feature to take a snapshot for version backup."
"Some of the prerequisites for Veeam are challenging."
"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."
"I do not have notes for improvements."
"We had one problem once with the network."
"Better description of the problems as the alerts are missing good descriptions."
"Moving backup repositories and merging backup chains is either difficult or not possible as far as I know in the current release of Veeam Backup and Replication."
"Veeam Data Platform should improve its air gap backup features."
"Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing."
"The cost of the product is an area that would prevent me from using it in the future."
"The ability to do more backups should be addressed."
"They have recently moved to universal licensing, which is more expensive, and I would like them to go back to host licensing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is affordable."
"For now, I think the pricing of Veeam ONE is quite okay for any of the infrastructures, especially for those who want a backup system and a tool that provides monitoring services."
"I find the pricing to be okay."
"Veeam Data Platform, it's pay-as-you-go. So, the more options you choose, the more consumption you have in monthly billing."

"The pricing structure for Veeam ONE has changed to what is now called the "VUL" or "Universal License". Previously, people mainly used socket licenses, but this has now changed. The new pricing structure was introduced last year."
"Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions."
"The license subscription could be more straightforward."
"The product must improve its pricing."
