A scalable solution for backup and restore that has an easy setup
The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems. There's no other way around it. Recently, we have also faced RDS and print server issues. One of our clients experienced some remote desktop service issues. These things keep happening with Microsoft. They have a patch, and then they have some other rollout that fixes it. The solution should be more consistent with its patching updates.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has good scalability."
"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature includes leaving the stub files behind and integrating that with the recenter feature."
"The stability has always been very good."
"The stability has always been very good."
"Don’t waste your money on Symantec or other tools; buy a license once for Veeam as it's a lifetime one and the support license can be renewed, as required, on a yearly basis."
"For us, it's a simple solution for our complex environment."
"My advice to others is Veeam Backup Replication is a good solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Yes, I previously used Microsoft System Center but Veeam is better, faster and easy to use and configure."
"I am not a direct user of this product, but my technical guys tell me that they like the product, and it is easy to use, and we don't have any issues with it."
"Strong performance with a high level of compatibility."
"Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent."
 

Cons

"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."
"Sometimes it would be nice if they could move a little bit quicker and have faster updates, but in terms of the features, it's absolutely fine and adequate."
"I think the solution itself keeps up with everything else. Sometimes it would be nice if they could move a little bit quicker and have faster updates, but in terms of the features, it's absolutely fine and adequate."
"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."
"The solution could improve by having a version to be compatible with the Linux system. They have improved the storage depository using the Linux proxy and Linux storage, but it can completely run on the Linux environment it would be much better."
"The backup of the device could be improved and it's also quite an expensive solution, more expensive than Acronis."
"It still doesn't feel like a fully mature solution because it's not exactly ready for very large scale and complex environments with more than 1000 VMs."
"I think backing up from physical servers and ransomware security needs some improvements."
"I'd like to see better compression of the backups."
"It would be useful if we could integrate our on-premise VM solution with the Azure workload backup from the existing console. This would assist our customers in reducing the cost of hardware."
"The solution requires a lot of bandwidth because our servers are heavy."
"I find this product to be rather weak when it comes to database integration and that really is problematic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"The solution could also be cheaper."
"When I did a tech refresh, we took out a subscription for the coming five years."
"The price is great. It's software related, and I know that might be a good thing because it's a cheap solution to buy and we have been looking for a program for backup and they fit the bill."
"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"Since our Veeam license is perpetual, we only pay for annual maintenance."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"I think the price is good when you choose the Essentials Suite, but when you buy a full featured version (for instance the Enterprise Plus) the price is a little bit expensive."
"We pay every month for Enterprise Plus. There are no additional costs."
"The price of the solution is high."
