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."
"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."
"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"The customer service with Veeam is great, one of the best I have ever had to deal with, and the technical support is great, with very patient and knowledgeable staff who helped me through some very complex issues."
"It is a very solid product with an easy UI."
"It's streamlined the backup and recovery for my customers in the sense that it has an easy management console that's easy to set up any type of instant recovery."
"It's scalable."
"What I like most about this solution are the simplicity and the price-performance ratio."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution."
"If you have a VMware or Hyper-V environment, then Veeam is the most mature and solid product in its class today."
"We were struggling with having software that would give us reliable backup and when we implemented the Veeam solution, it solved the problem for us."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"There are certain shortcomings associated with the virtualization infrastructure."
"The price could be lower."
"I thought that having a Windows machine running this was not the best for security."
"Veeam doesn't have the reporting part quite right. Its data visualization isn't as slick as other solutions like Veritas. For example, in Veritas, you can see a calendar that shows you which days are backed up. Veeam lacks features like that."
"For my client, bandwidth is a problem."
"The downside is when you need to backup physical servers as usually most organizations aren't running a 100% virtualized environment so that can be an issue."
"Sometimes, it's a little difficult for me to use its user interface. Its scope is very big with a lot of tuning, settings, and so on. If it's difficult for me, it must also be difficult for our customers."
"There needs to be more integration with VMware and the virtual machine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions."
"I think the price is good when you choose the Essentials Suite, but when you buy a full featured version (for instance the Enterprise Plus) the price is a little bit expensive."
"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."
"The price of Veeam Backup and Replication is expensive."
"I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
"Since our Veeam license is perpetual, we only pay for annual maintenance."
"We pay for a license to use this solution, and we recommend that our customers pay for a license and a renewal license."
"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."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
