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."
"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."
"The stability has always been very good."
"The support staff team is perfect."
"If you have your VMware virtualization, then Veeam Backup is the best option out there to back up that kind of environment."
"Veeam One is easy to use. You don't need to get very technical or specific class training. Anyone can start using it."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"The most valuable features are the backup and restoration of our VMs. Additionally, they add features regularly."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward for me."
 

Cons

"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."
"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"I prefer a software backup solution that allows me to easily define my origin data, including data files, folders, and virtual machines."
"The more features the solution has the more complex it can be to set up. Veeam Backup & Replication can be complex."
"The pricing could be better."
"The tech support could be better."
"The documentation and communication could be better in Veeam Backup Replication."
"CDP also requires a lot of development, because there are a lot of restrictions now for CDP. There is a chance to improve CDP and make it much easier for the customers."
"There needs to be more integration with VMware and the virtual machine."
"We relied on the cloud backup, however, the data in the cloud ended up also getting corrupted due to the ransomware."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"The solution could also be cheaper."
"The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is reasonable compared to IBM."
"The price is great. It's software related, and I know that might be a good thing because it's a cheap solution to buy and we have been looking for a program for backup and they fit the bill."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication could be reduced. The customers are looking at other products because the price is higher than some of the competition."
"The solution's pricing is cheap."
"The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is high and that is why I am choosing an alternative."
"We pay yearly licensing fees for Veeam in our data centers where we're using disaster recovery and replication between our many solutions, especially cloud solutions. From the beginning, we've done our licensing from a separate channel through our data center team in Seattle."
"Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."
"I acknowledge there are concerns about pricing, specifically in gaining more customers for VM. We've encountered difficulties in convincing them due to pricing issues. So, I rate it a six."
