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

"The stability has always been very good."
"The solution has good scalability."
"It is a flexible, simple, and scalable software-based solution that gives you the flexibility to use your own hardware and back up physical Windows, Linux, IBM AIX, and Oracle Solaris systems as well as VMware VMs, Hyper-V VMs, and Nutanix VMs from one console."
"There are many features that include the SQL table-level restore, Instant VM Recovery, and SureBackup, which are valuable to us."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is the ease of use."
"No problems with stability."
"Customer Service: It is very good. Technical Support: Technical support is also very good."
"It has improved my organization by 90%."
 

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."
"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."
"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."
"With Veeam v7 in conjunction with vSphere 5.5 using vSphere Flash Read Cache (vFRC), I started seeing issues with Veeam backups either failing or VM Snapshots constantly needing consolidation."
"I would like to see the Veeam cloud solution and Microsoft Office 365 included all in one platform."
"The VMotion feature is not reliable enough to ensure a successful migration operation."
"The implementation of the features can be improved. Currently, there is no segregation of duty."
"It would be beneficial to have enhanced solutions for database backup, particularly for Oracle databases in the context of SAP systems."
"The areas of expansion are limited in our use case since it's only used for reporting."
"The licensing is the worst part of Veeam Backup Replication because for the more complex situations and it's quite difficult and complex."
"A backup and replication solution should be able to back up a system and do recovery very fast. Even though Veeam Backup & Replication is able to meet most of our needs, it would be better if they can make it faster for backup and restore."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"The solution could also be cheaper."
"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"The subscription-based pricing of Veeam Backup Replication is competitive."
"It is an affordable solution."
"Veeam is quite expensive. There are no additional costs to the licensing fees. IBM Spectrum Protect is also expensive. They should improve its pricing. They raise the price every time there is an increase in the features of the product. They should think twice about that."
"The tool’s licensing is yearly and flexible. I would rate the solution’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Veeam each year, although it is not expensive for what we get."
"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"I have not used the resale license in our testing environments. Sometimes, our customers used the trial license for 30 days and so on."
"For what it does, the price is acceptable."
