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."

"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."

"The solution has good scalability."

"The most valuable feature includes leaving the stub files behind and integrating that with the recenter feature."

"Veeam Data Platform is the first recommendation from my company and me, as it's easy to set up, and the portal and management are very straightforward compared to competitors."

"It is a rock-solid backup solution. That's all, and that's what we were asking for."

"I enjoy the ability to quickly search for VMs through the Veeam console."

"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."

"Replication Job base on a source HPE Catalyst store to perform a full reconstruction of our production systems on our third datacenter, which is our DRP Site."

"The documentation is very good. It's also easy to install Veeam Backup and Replication."

"It is a stable and scalable solution that's easy to operate and restore."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"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."

"We need more options for the backup schedule."

"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."

"I only ever found one error. It was when we were doing a file copy job. After using it for ten minutes, it would slow down and cause a bottleneck error."

"Add an archive option to support legal obligations."

"The product’s stability has certain issues and needs to be improved. The solution’s pricing could be also cheaper."

"It's hard to answer because managing cloud storage in our version could be better, but now that they have improved it in the recent version, I cannot say it's a better point because I know it should be already fixed."

"There are certain solutions, such as Rubrik and Cohesity, that are little by little, taking market share. Veeam needs to be more aggressive to keep their dominance in the space."

"The pricing could be improved."

"I would like to see a storage application in the next version of the product."

"Device backup could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is expensive."

"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."

"The solution could also be cheaper."

"It is more expensive than other solutions."

"For what it does, the price is acceptable."

"Our licensing runs for five years, and after that time we do the renewal. There haven't been any further costs beyond our initial licensing plan because our customer is satisfied with the setup that has been configured and the overall backup environment."

"Veeam ONE is cheaper when you compare it with one of its competitors in the ops space, VMware vRealize Operations. There's a separate department that deals with the licensing, but my company is using CSP licensing, which is the service provider licensing, so my company doesn't fall under the normal volume at the Veeam Universal licensing program. The cost is commit-based and depends on what your point commit is. The point commit works differently, and it's similar to your sales provider license. If you commit to using one thousand five hundred points, you get a certain price. If you commit to using the eight hundred points scheme, you get a certain price. As you grow the point scheme, you get a different price range, so it doesn't matter whether you're using Veeam One, Veeam Availability Suite, Veeam Backup and Replication, Orchestrate, or whatever the product is."

"The licensing is based on the number of cores you have in your ESX or Hyper-V environment."

"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."

"It is highly cost-effective when compared to other solutions."

"Veeam Data Platform, it's pay-as-you-go. So, the more options you choose, the more consumption you have in monthly billing."
