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."
"The most valuable feature includes leaving the stub files behind and integrating that with the recenter feature."
"The stability has always been very good."
"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."
"We managed to restore all of the VMs from Veeam and disaster recovery was executed as expected within our SLA."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to restore the VMs into a test environment."
"Vendor integration for many of the enterprise features have allowed for us to have greater performance from our storage vendors further improving on our commitments to protect our clients' data."
"Storage Snapshot is a good feature and very safe."
"It helps with process restoration, and with Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"What I like most about this solution are the simplicity and the price-performance ratio."
"Veeam is the gold standard for backup and recovery."
"We use it to back up and restore our virtual machine in a live environment without restoring the complete virtual machine, as it just mounts its storage to the NFS and makes the machine live in seconds, which is our favourite feature in Veeam ONE."
 

Cons

"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."
"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"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 user experience needs a little refreshing touch."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The navigation of menus can be difficult to find what you're looking for sometimes."
"I would like to see the replication and a recovery plan of the servers in the cloud. It's very important."
"Moving backup repositories and merging backup chains is either difficult or not possible as far as I know in the current release of Veeam Backup and Replication."
"The solution keeps getting more and more expensive. They should work on the pricing."
"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."
"The price is consistently an area for improvement."
"The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"The solution could also be cheaper."
"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"If you tell Veeam that you're competing with, for example, NetBackup or Backup Exec, or Dell or Micro Focus then they may lower the price. They are very competitive."
"Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"This product is not cheap, but it's well worth the cost."
"The product is inexpensive."
"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."
"The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is high and that is why I am choosing an alternative."
"Customers require a perpetual license for the product. However, along with the license, they must also subscribe to the support service for one year or three years under a separate contract."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
