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

"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"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."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"We are satisfied with Veeam Backup Replication, it is a safeguard for our daily work and our environment and it has given us a substantial return on investment."
"Veeam Backup Replication's snapshotting and cloning are the most valuable features."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its ease of management, it is not complicated, it is very reliable, has good support and a lot of knowledge on the market for integrators."
"It's a pretty complete product."
"For me, the most important feature is alerting."
"It's very simple to implement and very fast to learn."
"I have used all flavors of backup solutions since early 1990s, this is by far the most advanced yet and easiest product to use."
"The most important feature for me is the security - you can trust that Veeam is working without having to test or check it."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."
"The restore process is somewhat complicated for Veeam Data Platform."
"Veeam Data Platform should improve its air gap backup features."
"The direct SAN backup integration can be perfected by improving the snapshot removal mechanism and process from the storage volumes."
"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 escalation from first, second to third tier is sometimes very long-lasting, but the resolve rate is quite high."
"The backup jobs and the scheduled tuning are not as convenient as compared to a solution such as Data Protector."
"Different types of licenses could not be used on the same Veeam server in the past, it would be good to be able to use mixed types of licenses in the same server."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I understand from management that the DR component is too expensive."
"We are on an annual license for Veeam Backup Replication. We could expand or upgrade the license for the Office365 features. Next year we might go to a three-year plan for support on license."
"Veeam Backup Replication has a lot of free features. We have a mixture of the paid versions as well as the community version. They are really helpful to us."
"Veeam is quite expensive. There are no additional costs to the licensing fees. IBM Spectrum Protect is also expensive. They should improve its pricing. They raise the price every time there is an increase in the features of the product. They should think twice about that."
"The cost should be adressed."
"The tool’s licensing is yearly and flexible. I would rate the solution’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"The product is expensive."
"It is more expensive than other solutions."
