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.

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

"It has been useful for monitoring, troubleshooting, and assessing our environment, as well as for investigating bottlenecks."
"It is very easy to restore files and images."
"Replication is the most valuable feature."
"The product responds above our needs and we are very satisfied with it."
"The customer service with Veeam is great, one of the best I have ever had to deal with, and the technical support is great, with very patient and knowledgeable staff who helped me through some very complex issues."
"The product is very simple in its design. We don't need it to perform complicated tasks."
"SureBackup is the kickass feature, with zero failure on restoration of the backups so you don’t even have to use SureBackup to be assured of the restoration."
"We use it for failover and disaster recovery, and there have been times when our primary systems have failed and we've been able to run virtually until our primary systems are available again, so from a business continuity experience it has worked fairly well."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"In the future, Veeam should release a hardware backup appliance that can be integrated with their software."
"Compared to IBM, Veeam Data Platform is simpler but brings some challenges with automation in backup and Oracle backup configuration."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication could be reduced. The customers are looking at other products because the price is higher than some of the competition."
"In future releases, I would like to see the solution provide auto resolution and auto relocation of resources."
"Sometimes, it's a little difficult for me to use its user interface. Its scope is very big with a lot of tuning, settings, and so on. If it's difficult for me, it must also be difficult for our customers."
"I think it would be great to have the ability to use WAN acceleration as an integrated feature for local backup storage to save a lot more space."
"I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach."
"I have also been struggling with the storage and in some cases I need to move things due to performance."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good and affordable."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price is a bit expensive but it depends on the environment that you have on how much it will cost."
"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."
"We try to use perpetual licensing, and there are no additional costs. They have recently moved to universal licensing, which is more expensive, and I would like them to go back to host licensing."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable. It is not inexpensive nor is it expensive, it is in the middle range compared to other solutions. There can be additional costs for addons."
"If you have Exchange, Oracle, SQL, or a supported SAN, then I suggest getting at least an Enterprise edition. It’ll pay for itself in no time."
"The product is competitively priced."
"Veeam Backup Replication can be quite expensive for Office 365 because its license is per user and not for the space that you use. You need one license for each user. If the user only uses a few files on one hard drive, you need a license to back up these files. It was better to have a license model, such as in the Cohesity solution. Cohesity has a license for a space that you use. It's more useful in this case because the license for backup data is on-premises is for CPU. The license is based on how many CPUs you have but it does not depend on how many users use the CPU."
