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.

It's easy to use and restore. Tech support is also good.
Easy to use and restore. Restoring when there is issue. Backup bigger virtual machines (VMs). Six years. No. Some big servers don't seem to backup well. Good. Straightforward. It's easy to use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"I think that the scalability is very good. We can't compare it."
"It has very good stability."
"Veeam drastically lowered the strain on our hosted environment during backup windows all while decreasing the amount of time the backups require for completion."
"One of the most valuable features of Veeam is that the restoration is easy and reliable."
"I would recommend the solution to others for its ease-of-use."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"Veeam ONE is a very good management product...The technical support is very good, and I think it's one of the best. The response time is very quick."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"CDP also requires a lot of development, because there are a lot of restrictions now for CDP. There is a chance to improve CDP and make it much easier for the customers."
"Veeam ONE could be improved if it had a better data recovery feature."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The cost of adding additional sockets. It was a lot more than just purchasing an additional agent like you would for Backup Exec or StorageCraft."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say they could add automations for disaster migrations and for reverse replication. Overall, they need more automation."
"The main area for improvement has come in Version 8, that is native support for tape drives and the ability to archive to tape."
"We implemented it through a Veeam engineer, unfortunately the level of expertise was not the best."
"I face difficulties when trying to deploy Veeam ONE because my active directory restricts some particular rights."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The changes in pricing have been an interesting aspect. It seems to have become pricier, resulting in a reduction in affordability. There are extra expenses involved, including hardware requirements and the procurement of operating system licenses, which must also be taken into account. I would rate the price seven out of ten."
"The price is quite fair."
"The pricing of the solution could be reduced."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution is high."
"We pay on an annual basis. We pay roughly $12,000 for our software subscription."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the price a five."
