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 most valuable feature includes leaving the stub files behind and integrating that with the recenter feature."
"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."
"The stability has always been very good."
"The solution has good scalability."
"One of the most valuable features is the incremental backup. It is, of course, perfect because you have a lot of restore points, but you don't need all the space. The stability is also perfect."
"We are satisfied with the technical support."
"As a manager, I find Veeam One's reporting service to be very helpful."
"We thought it had the best integration with VMware."
"This product has improved the entire RTO and allows us to restore applications and services to customers within a few minutes."
"I would highly recommend it, since the solution is very simple to implement, monitor and manage."
"It really just works, we don't have backup issues anymore."
"Replication and restore object in Exchange boxes with possibility to select part of Microsoft directory."
 

Cons

"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."
"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."
"There needs to be more integration with VMware and the virtual machine."
"The tech support is always there to help out but you need to take note of the time difference. They don't seems to have dedicated resource to cover the APAC time zone from what I have experienced."
"I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach."
"It would be nice if the solution scanned for malware in the backups."
"They could improve the product's response times for technical support and enhance support for newer hypervisors."
"Being able to do both VMware and Hyper-V backups at the same time. At the moment, as far as I know, you can only do one or the other."
"Although this product is technically designed for virtual environments, it would be very useful if the same concepts or technology is applied to backup physical servers."
"Veeam Data Platform should improve its air gap backup features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution could also be cheaper."
"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"I have not used the resale license in our testing environments. Sometimes, our customers used the trial license for 30 days and so on."
"The price of Veeam Backup and Replication is expensive."
"The product is inexpensive."
"Our licensing runs for five years, and after that time we do the renewal. There haven't been any further costs beyond our initial licensing plan because our customer is satisfied with the setup that has been configured and the overall backup environment."
"It's the market price. It isn't expensive, nor is it cheap."
"I would suggest to others that they buy the full license when purchasing this solution."
"The licensing is the worst part of Veeam Backup Replication because for the more complex situations and it's quite difficult and complex. In particular, when mixing different requirements the licensing model is complex. For example, mixing a virtual machine backup and a file server backup in the same installation can be somewhat difficult and is expensive."
"The license is a bit expensive."
