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 stability has always been very good."
"The solution has good scalability."
"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 benefits from using Veeam Data Platform include reliability and peace of mind; whenever you need a backup, you do not have to worry about it because we have experienced it, and Veeam Data Platform has never failed, with never an issue recovering data."
"Veeam Backup has many valuable features and every feature is different; I have created backups for file-level backup, VMware or hypervisor virtual machines, physical machines, and workstations as well, and every time I learn something new."
"They provide good technical support and we are satisfied with the support we have received."
"Veeam is by far the solution that delivers a complete set of features for a small price, and the administration is much more easy."
"Coming from tape backup environment to using Veeam and cloud upload dramatically changed and improved our backup process."
"Veeam Data Platform has had a significant positive impact on my organization by reducing downtime, ensuring data safety, and enhancing ransomware protection."
"Most of our customers who have been used to buying, supporting and maintaining other well known products are shocked at how economical Veeam is and quickly become convinced that it is a very robust product, then start designing ways to leverage their backup data in ways they had not imagined."
"Before Veeam, we had backup infrastructure sprawl. Veeam was able to reduce our overall backup windows while reducing our dedicated backup infrastructure."
 

Cons

"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."
"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."
"Apart from security improvements, enhancing compatibility with various platforms and addressing limitations related to integration and verification would be beneficial."
"The main area for improvement has come in Version 8, that is native support for tape drives and the ability to archive to tape."
"I would like to see the replication and a recovery plan of the servers in the cloud. It's very important."
"Sometimes if a backup failed, it meant the snapshot was not removed. This could cause the VM to crash when it ran out of snapshot space."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"They have an integration with MS SQL, and you have to license MS SQL. This is something they need to change. They should go for an open-source database or a free SQL because you're already buying this product, and you shouldn't have to buy another product."
"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."
"I would like to have them come up with more robust features when it comes to individual endpoint protection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"The solution could also be cheaper."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"This is not an expensive solution. It's on the cheaper side."
"The product is expensive."
"This product is not cheap, but it's well worth the cost."
"It is approximately $4,000 to $5,000 for the purchase of the product and I paid an additional $2,000 for the renewal."
"The price is quite competitive compared to other products in my region."
"For now, I think the pricing of Veeam ONE is quite okay for any of the infrastructures, especially for those who want a backup system and a tool that provides monitoring services."
"The product is expensive for small businesses."
