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

"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 solution has good scalability."
"The stability has always been very good."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"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. We don't have any issues with it."
"The fast backup and restore feature is the most valuable."
"Veeam Data Platform manages and protects data across multiple cloud environments amazingly."
"It's got a very good user-friendly interface. It's easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to restore the VMs into a test environment."
 

Cons

"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."
"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 licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better."
"The appliance doesn't have a domain. If there was a competitor with a domain, I'd likely use them."
"Some support replies for a broken backup task have been "rebuild the job from scratch" and this is a bad thing to do if you have many VMs and repositories."
"I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach."
"Unfortunately, the software only runs on Windows."
"Creating reports is a bit difficult, and you have to spend some time on it."
"Veeam Backup Replication is a bit difficult to use. If you have used other solutions such as Commvault, you will find it is much easier to use. Veeam Backup Replication does backups in a different way that is not as simple as other solutions. Doing backups of SQL Servers is much easier in Commvault. However, the difficulty could be the lack of experience I have had with Veeam Backup Replication."
"We had one problem once with the network."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"The solution could also be cheaper."
"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"The pricing is reasonable and falls within the average range."
"The product is expensive."
"Veeam Data Platform's pricing is affordable."
"Veeam has been raising its prices in the last two years, so it's now lacking some competitiveness in pricing."
"I would suggest to others that they buy the full license when purchasing this solution."
"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."
"The product is expensive for small businesses."
"I understand from management that the DR component is too expensive."
