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

"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"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."
"When it comes to service cases, I would choose Veeam Data Platform over Commvault because restoring from Commvault can be time-consuming due to filtering tasks. Veeam Data Platform, on the other hand, offers a much simpler and faster restore process."
"From my perspective, Veeam does everything; they're my number one product."
"A valuable feature is the compression when storing data."
"The integration with some storage systems like HP or Nutanix and great support are the most valuable features, as you get productivity support and a response within one hour, even in the evening or night, and the functionality of the whole software is good."
"The restore capabilities are the most valuable features."
"Very user-friendly and easily recoverable."
"The solution works well in two different environments, whether it is on-premises, cloud, or a combination."
"Veeam ONE is being used to monitor our backup and VM servers."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"Tape support is there, but needs improvement."
"If they could add more support for all of the modern hypervisors, that would make Veeam much better and more flexible to work with."
"It should support physical servers, and as far as I know, v9 will do this."
"We try to compare Veeam with other solutions because we are the operations. Then we can give the answers for improvement which is the specific additional system features that other solutions provide."
"I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach."
"It is efficient but can improve security-wise."
"The initial setup of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward. The process took approximately two days. The setup could be streamlined to take less time."
"One of the downsides to Veeam is that it's just software-based."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's expensive and costs about 4000 a year."
"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"It is more cost-effective than some of the other solutions, but a lot of that comes down to the fact that we're a reseller. So, depending upon the deal, we do negotiate different price points for different customers. The price varies depending upon the size of the customer, the size of the deal, and the discounts we can negotiate."
"The solution is expensive, but it's value for money."
"The price is a bit high. Licensing type is VMware friendly, so it is easy."
"They could work at providing a better price."
"Our licensing fees are paid yearly and the cost is about $12,000 Swiss Francs ($17,400 USD)."
"I would say that the product is fairly priced."
