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."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"The peace of mind of the backup is very important. Incremental backups make it fast and easy to use. We can recover from any failures in case of any hardware failures or malware attacks. We can do a rollback and recover our services with a little downtime. We can rollback even in the case of unsuccessful updates."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution."
"Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance."
"The stability of Veeam ONE is good."
"For me, it's perfect. We don't have any problems with backups and applications."
"The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V."
"Veeam Is very useful for most environments and can scale up in most environments - such as Amazon or Azure."
"Its stability and scalability were the main reasons for going for this solution. It is highly scalable, and its stability is also powerful. It has a friendly interface, and its monitoring and performance are the best in the market."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"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."
"The orchestration feature can be improved. They can improve the virtual machine orchestration to make it similar to VMware. They can also provide an option to automate the backup and recovery and schedule a backup."
"We'd like to see them add more custom templates."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper."
"It is efficient but can improve security-wise."
"The Cloud version is not ready, they need maturity and ease of deployment in terms of management."
"The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."
"The database backup process could be improved. It would be beneficial to enhance this feature and also consider the addition of a web interface to increase accessibility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is affordable."
"The price is a bit high."
"I consider that the product's price falls under the middle range category."
"Veeam is more reasonably priced than some competing products."
"It's expensive and costs about 4000 a year."
"The changes in pricing have been an interesting aspect. It seems to have become pricier, resulting in a reduction in affordability. There are extra expenses involved, including hardware requirements and the procurement of operating system licenses, which must also be taken into account. I would rate the price seven out of ten."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"It is not expensive and I would rate it five out of ten."
