Continuous replication and backup simplify customer service across enterprises of any size
Veeam Data Platform provides me with the most useful features such as application restore, single file restore, backup and replication, and continuous replication. We utilize these features for management and the customers we serve. Veeam Data Platform provides features such as immutability and ransomware protection. While we use other applications for ransomware protection, we rely on Veeam Data Platform for encryption.

Has improved infrastructure monitoring through strong integration capabilities
I am one of the big fans of Tanzu, but actually, here in Saudi Arabia, it does not work as expected. I do not know if this is a mistake from the partner or if there is something missing with the product, but I know it should be the umbrella that contains all the services related to VMware. However, when we compare it with the containerization in Azure or other infrastructure environments, I cannot see it having good competition with them. But when I read the specifications and capabilities of the product, I found it to be very good, though I am unsure what is missing. The feedback that I get from the operation team is that it was easy to deploy VMware Tanzu Observability, but they need more resources and documentation about it. Additionally, the partner in Saudi Arabia has some issues, and many people in the market are currently focused mainly on cloud services. VMware Tanzu is related to private cloud and data center internally, so this new trend towards cloud makes it a little difficult for private cloud and private data center. For the actual work and heavy duty workload, we are still using VMware products, vCenter and also Tanzu as part of this. There are multiple dependencies related to the implementation of VMware Tanzu Observability. This is linked to the network, storage, and many other factors. For this type of project and implementation, there needs to be collaboration between the network team, SAN storage team, and the partner from whom I receive support during the implementation phase. The time for implementation depends on the workload as well. If you are talking about 100 virtual machines, it is not the same as when you are discussing 1,000 virtual machines. The implementation time will depend on the workload and the number of infrastructure team members you have, along with the virtual machines and containers. To improve VMware Tanzu Observability, they need to conduct more POCs to raise awareness regarding their features and the integration capabilities with other tools. The current market trends lean towards AI and machine learning, and they need to play their role in the market for these features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication, which works fine."
"Very flexible, all-in-one solution."
"It is a cheap solution with the ability to backup for our needs."
"Veaam ONE is a very good product in virtualized environments."
"One of the most valuable features is the incremental backup. It is, of course, perfect because you have a lot of restore points, but you don't need all the space. The stability is also perfect."
"It is very easy to restore files and images."
"It is a good solution for backups and reporting."
"I would mostly recommend this product because it's easy to use and it is easy to install."
"The best feature of VMware Tanzu Observability for me was its capability of integration with multiple observability tools, not just Tanzu, but also third parties."
 

Cons

"Improve the support of physical servers and bare metal recovery."
"What I am missing is a good graphical user interface between these three products."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud."
"I've always found recovery speed to be its downfall."
"The initial setup is complex."
"We have had problems with some jobs. For example, when we have a VM with a large SQL Database, sometimes we cannot adjust the time for transaction logs to back up and overlap time."
"Besides Wintel environments, it would be good to have DR/HA for Unix/Linux platforms."
"The improvement we would like to see is the option to scale Veeam Data up in smaller sections rather than large sections, which requires paying much more."
"Here in Saudi Arabia, it does not work as expected. I do not know if this is a mistake from the partner or if there is something missing with the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the price a five."
"The pricing is good and affordable."
"The product is not that expensive."
"We pay yearly licensing fees for Veeam in our data centers where we're using disaster recovery and replication between our many solutions, especially cloud solutions. From the beginning, we've done our licensing from a separate channel through our data center team in Seattle."
"We have increased our scalability while being able to free up senior resources from recovery activities. I estimate our overall savings to about $20,000 per year."
"It's an extremely cost-effective solution."
"Since our Veeam license is perpetual, we only pay for annual maintenance."
"Veeam is more reasonably priced than some competing products."
