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 stability has always been very good."
"The solution has good scalability."
"The most valuable feature includes leaving the stub files behind and integrating that with the recenter feature."
"I like that the solution is very simple to install."
"It helps with process restoration. With Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"Veeam One is a centralized management and centralized reporting tool. The tool has supportive infrastructure to create specialised applications and some server application. You can add all the resources and infrastructure. You will get the reports, can easily manage and monitor any feature."
"Instant recovery, ease of use, and integrations are some of the valuable features."
"Veeam Is very useful for most environments and can scale up in most environments - such as Amazon or Azure."
"The flexibility provided by Veeam Data Platform's hybrid deployment options is very simple, efficient, and user-friendly."
"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 solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."
"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."
"I think Veeam ONE should be included in the base product instead of as an add-on because customers tend to look for simple solutions that are integrated."
"Lacks online training."
"The ease of use could be improved, but I don't have a very deep amount of experience in Veeam, so it's difficult to say what could be improved."
"I would like a solution for SAP systems to be included."
"The documentation and communication could be better in Veeam Backup Replication."
"Its price is higher than other solutions and can be improved. They can also change the version of the software more often."
"The appliance doesn't have a domain. If there was a competitor with a domain, I'd likely use them."
"The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"The solution could also be cheaper."
"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"I don't know what the costs are for sure, but I think that it's on a yearly basis."
"This is not an expensive solution. It's on the cheaper side."
"If you have Exchange, Oracle, SQL, or a supported SAN, then I suggest getting at least an Enterprise edition. It’ll pay for itself in no time."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."
"It's expensive and costs about 4000 a year."
"Its software solution has a fee."
