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

"Veeam is the gold standard for backup and recovery. The ease of use and reliability of this solution are real assets. Also, it has an ease of use to work with a third party vendor."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"It has helped us to protect our IP address and critical information."
"Solution-wise, I would rank the solution as being up there with the best."
"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are it is easy to use and manage."
"Veeam was very easy to use, set up, and manage."
"The ntegration of physical agents with our cloud connect service is positive."
"Scalability is one of the more impressive things about Veeam ONE."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud."
"I would like to see the replication and a recovery plan of the servers in the cloud. It's very important."
"It would be nice to see more affordable training options for individuals who want to enhance their skills. Some people I know have been interested in training courses, but they found them too expensive."
"The orchestration feature can be improved. They can improve the virtual machine orchestration to make it similar to VMware. They can also provide an option to automate the backup and recovery and schedule a backup."
"It is efficient but can improve security-wise."
"Better reporting of replication job details in order to provide better insights when troubleshooting."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Not sure, but maybe the weakest area is around integration with tape libraries at times."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Veeam ONE is cheaper when you compare it with one of its competitors in the ops space, VMware vRealize Operations. There's a separate department that deals with the licensing, but my company is using CSP licensing, which is the service provider licensing, so my company doesn't fall under the normal volume at the Veeam Universal licensing program. The cost is commit-based and depends on what your point commit is. The point commit works differently, and it's similar to your sales provider license. If you commit to using one thousand five hundred points, you get a certain price. If you commit to using the eight hundred points scheme, you get a certain price. As you grow the point scheme, you get a different price range, so it doesn't matter whether you're using Veeam One, Veeam Availability Suite, Veeam Backup and Replication, Orchestrate, or whatever the product is."
"I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment."
"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."
"Veeam has been raising its prices in the last two years, so it's now lacking some competitiveness in pricing."
"The licensing fee depends on the licensing model we choose."
"Veeam's pricing is good. But compared to the past five years, it's constantly increasing."
"The pricing of the solution could be reduced."
"Several licensing schemes are available."
