Ensures efficient backup and recovery processes
The Protect and Restore features are very helpful. I can set up tags to include specific assets in our environment for backup. When I include those tags in my search, the assets are easily found and can be added for backup. I love the restore feature and how easily I can restore files, folders, or an entire image.

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

"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Replication is most valuable."
"I'm pleased with the ability to search for documents; it's very useful."
"Veeam is quick, easy to work with, and its support for Microsoft products is good. They also provide adequate solutions for backing up Microsoft applications in the cloud, such as Office 365."
"The most valuable feature is the continuous backup."
"Veeam communicates with the vCenter in VMware, which means it's very smooth and doesn't interrupt production on VMware and you can backup or restore anytime, anywhere."
"Veeam Data Platform offers features specifically designed for ransomware defense."
"Its portability and being able to back up between different platforms are the most valuable features."
"The solution is really easy and straightforward to use."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"They could include better automation features for migrating VMs without further configuration for the product."
"Since the solution has many options, it is not easier to give tasks to schedule it."
"I would like to see better features for exporting to cloud-based repositories."
"The product’s stability has certain issues and needs to be improved. The solution’s pricing could be also cheaper."
"I would like the solution to have better integration with other hypervisors and cloud features that are not exclusive to VMware."
"There are certain shortcomings associated with the virtualization infrastructure."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment."
"The tech support needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"They could work at providing a better price."
"Veeam has a ten-license package gives you two physical and two virtual servers you can use on any endpoint."
"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"We dont have the exact licensing costs, but we pay for a comprehensive service package that includes technical support, cloud services, and data center services. There may be additional costs beyond the standard license, but I'm not sure about the specifics. However, I believe the yearly cost is around five thousand dollars."
"We pay every month for Enterprise Plus. There are no additional costs."
"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."
"The licenses are code-based or server-based for Veeam ONE. The last version is 12, and it is host-based, I don't like to move to a code-based solution."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
