Veeam Data Platform Reviews

We use the solution for protecting virtual machines and physical servers, as well as backing up data. The data platform mainly focuses on virtualization and physical environments, including database backup.

Veeam recently enhanced some features related to ransomware. Within these updates, its built-in protection feature or cybersecurity features included in the Veeam data platform now provide added protection for all customers. The solution effectively safeguards data, particularly against ransomware. This benefits Veeam, although it may rely on other third-party solutions for business continuity and data protection.

The solution focused on on-premises data and covered all virtualized environments, including physical servers. This product offers scalability, flexibility, and a simple user interface.

The licensed schema needs to be simple because it is more complicated than the previous one.

I have been using the Veeam Data Platform for six years.

The product’s stability is good.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

The solution can integrate with Azure storage and other storage vendors. It is more scalable than the cloud version.

10-15 users are using this solution. We cater this solution to small to medium companies.

I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten.

I have been working with the Veritas backup solution for about 20 years. Veeam has gained a significant market share and caters to many customer needs in the backup sector.

The initial setup is easy and takes a couple of hours to complete.

The solution has affordable pricing for old customers.

I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

My clients use Veeam One for monitoring. Veeam One offers backups and VM monitoring.

Veeam One is easy to use. You don't need to get very technical or specific class training. Anyone can start using it.

In my customer's feedback, one thing they liked a lot was the reporting. There is a reporting tool from Veeam One. My customers use reports and can generate reports based on anything they want. They can then compile the report and use them for multiple purposes. My customers use the reports for auditing and reporting, such as quarterly reports.

Veeam One has its ransomware monitoring, but it's based on static parameters. Maybe they can put in AI or ML to get an understanding of our customer's environment, so we don't need to manually tweak the static parameters to meet the customer's environment.

I have about two years of experience with Veeam One, but my company deployed it three or four years ago.

I rate Veeam One's stability an eight out of ten. I don't hear any issues from my customers.

I rate Veeam One's scalability a seven out of ten. The solution has some limitations with scaling, so we need to put in some workarounds to scale it. However, the solution is still scalable.

In Malaysia, we have SMB and even enterprise customers. We have two banking customers using Veeam One.

Veeam One has different support centers around the region because of the time zone. In Malaysia, the morning support will be in Australia. After three o'clock in Malaysia, Australia's shift ends, and if we need to continue to work on a case, we need to get the support team to transfer the case to another team, and it takes time to do the handover. That process could be faster.

Before Veeam One, I tried Veritas. In Veritas, if we want to monitor the virtual infrastructure, that is a separate license. Veeam One is very straightforward because it's called the virtual machine. If you have 100 virtual machines, you have to get 100 licenses. Veritas needs a capped speed license, which means I need to understand the customer's environment around the capped speed they use for the virtual machines. The license structure is complex for Veritas. And it is difficult to forecast the capped speed for the next few years of growth.

The initial setup is really simple.

Veeam One's cost is cheaper. I rate its pricing a seven or an eight out of ten. The price is pretty cheap for our market. It's a really good price for the quality of the product.

Most clients don't want to use vRealize Operations since it is expensive.

I rate Veeam One a seven out of ten. There are some improvements, but for the price point and features, I think that Veeam One is a great product.

We use the platform to take backups of virtual machines and Office 365 mailboxes.

The product's user interface is easy for creating and restoring Windows and File Explorer backups. It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well.

Veeam's support services need improvement. Whenever we create a ticket regarding production issues with high severity, their team takes a longer time to respond. It could be better.

We have been using Veeam Data Platform since 2022.

I rate the product's stability an eight out of ten. We encountered a few downtime issues.

I rate the product's scalability a ten out of ten.

The technical support team can resolve all technical queries. However, it could be improved in terms of response time.

Neutral

The initial setup is easy because the server can be connected to the internet during installation. It downloads all the required features and configures all functionalities automatically. It takes a lot of overhead from the admins and engineers working on the process.

The implementation process takes around two days in our infrastructure as we only have a few workloads and know all the details about the policies to be configured. It requires three engineers, including system and network engineers, to execute the process.

I recommend Veeam Data Platform to others and rate it a nine out of ten.

We use Veeam ONE for monitoring. 

I like the tool's backup. 

Veeam ONE should improve its UI. 

I have been working with the product for one year. 

I would rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten. 

Veeam ONE is scalable and I would rate it a nine out of ten. My company has 100 users for the solution. 

I switched to Veeam ONE due to its simplicity of use. 

Veeam ONE's setup is easy and takes only 30 minutes to complete. It doesn't require any maintenance and needs only one engineer to do the setup. 

We have seen ROI with the solution's use. 

I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly. 

I would rate Veeam ONE a nine out of ten. 

Veeam ONE is a very good management product. With Veeam, you can control the underlying virtualization environment, along with VMware and Hyper-V. So, the product works with tools from other vendors.

The fact that it can make very good reports on Veeam Backup is a valuable feature. It offers very flexible reporting.

Improvement is required in infrastructure control because it generates reports on the infrastructure.

It would be good. It could be extended with, for example, collecting data from storage devices because you have the environment, which includes servers and storage devices. So, it would be good to have such integrations. It should have the ability to collect data from storage devices.

I have been using Veeam ONE for a year and a half. My company is a reseller and partner of the solution.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten. Only three or four system administrators are using it.

The technical support is very good, and I think it's one of the best. The response time is very quick.

There are other products for virtualization, but not for Veeam. I don't know any other product that covers Veeam, VMware, and Hyper V.

The solution's initial setup process is not very complex. The setup phase is not difficult. Creating reports is a bit difficult, and you have to spend some time on it.

The implementation was done with the help of our in-house team.

Veeam ONE is offered at a good price. Compared to its price, the functionality and features of the product are more important.

Regarding the complexity of the processes in the solution, I would say that it is complex even though it is easy to solve. For a complex environment, I would definitely recommend the use of Veeam ONE. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I primarily use the solution for monitoring. 

I think Veeam ONE is great as it is, it does everything I need. 

Perhaps the interface could be improved, though it has always been fine for me.

I have been using the solution for about eight years. 

Veeam's technical support is great, I've been using it for the past ten years.

I've worked with Tivoli Storage Manager, Commvault, Spectrum, and Symantec NetBackup, which is Veritas NetBackup now. 

The initial setup is easy.

I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost.

I rate this solution a ten out of ten.

I use Veeam ONE in testing environments. I don't use it in the production environment. I only use it for demo and testing tasks.

We have on-prem installations. In Belarus, it's not popular to use cloud features due to government regulations, and our customers use only on-prem environments.

It has been useful for monitoring, troubleshooting, and assessing our environment, as well as for investigating bottlenecks.

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 have been using it since 2020 when I started preparing for the certification examination for Veeam. Now, I don't use it that much. I run Veeam ONE only for demo purposes. 

Our environment is stable, and we are not into scaling and sizing our environment. It is very static for us.

I have not used their support for Veeam ONE, but I have used it for Veeam Backup and Replication tasks. I have had communication with Russian support, and they are very fast in communicating with us. They were very good. I would rate them a five out of five.

The initial setup is not so difficult, but other functions and customer settings for monitoring are sometimes difficult. Its initial installation is not difficult for me.

We are an integrator. We have two or three engineers for maintenance activities.

I have not used the resale license in our testing environments. Sometimes, our customers used the trial license for 30 days and so on.

I would advise implementing Veeam Backup and Replication and Veeam ONE together in your environments.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. It is useful for me, but sometimes, it is very difficult to use.

The main use of Veeam ONE is to provide additional information on the backup environment, especially since the reporting in Veeam's base product doesn't give much information. Veeam ONE can add information like the number of jobs that fail and the percentage of those that succeed.

Veaam ONE is a very good product in virtualized environments. It's also very simple and doesn't require very deep knowledge to understand and use.

I think Veeam ONE should be included in the base product instead of as an add-on because customers tend to look for simple solutions that are integrated. In the next solution, I would like Veeam to add support for other less-used hypervisors like Oracle VM, consolidating these products into one console.

Veeam ONE is stable and easy to use.

The new licensing model is based on instances, so it's simple to scale.

Veeam's technical support is good, I'm not aware of any big issues with it.

Veeam has been raising its prices in the last two years, so it's now lacking some competitiveness in pricing, becoming too expensive compared to other solutions in the market.

I would rate Veeam ONE as eight out of ten.
