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.

"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."
"The stability has always been very good."
"The solution has good scalability."
"From my experience, Veeam is very good. Its interface is user-friendly. We can restore it whenever. It's not complicated. It's very easy to manage and administration is very easy."
"One of the standout features of Veeam Backup & Replication is its exceptional restore capability, enabling users to recover their data seamlessly. Another valuable functionality is the automated verification of backup restorations, made possible through the Sure Backup feature. The software boasts numerous other noteworthy features that offer immense value, including the NAS backup feature."
"The tool's stability is good."
"Veaam ONE is a very good product in virtualized environments."
"The solution does a good job with VM backups."
"Compared to other products, Veeam has a lot of features for the price."
"Provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred."
"The ability of instant VM recovery, which means starting the backup VM and getting it online while the recovery is still happening is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"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 user experience needs a little refreshing touch."
"They need to find better ways for RDMs and to somehow backup physical servers."
"Physical servers backup should be improved in the product."
"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."
"In terms of what could be improved, when creating a backup job with Veeam, you can create a daily backup, but it does not give you the ability to also set the terms for monthly and/or weekly backups."
"Near-synchronous, better RPO and RTO snapshot-based takes a lot of space and resources."
"I think that the web interface could be more visual."
"I would like a solution for SAP systems to be included in the next release."
"The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"The solution could also be cheaper."
"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"The price is a bit high."
"It is more cost-effective than some of the other solutions, but a lot of that comes down to the fact that we're a reseller. So, depending upon the deal, we do negotiate different price points for different customers. The price varies depending upon the size of the customer, the size of the deal, and the discounts we can negotiate."
"Its software solution has a fee."
"Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing. The really good and useful features are in the Enterprise plus edition, and that one is really expensive."
"On a one to ten scale, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as a five out of ten."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price is a bit expensive but it depends on the environment that you have on how much it will cost."
"We have increased our scalability while being able to free up senior resources from recovery activities. I estimate our overall savings to about $20,000 per year."
"The product is competitively priced."
