Offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites
It offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots. It allows for automated VM protection during processes like failover and testing, and it offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites. It also provides IP address management when network configurations differ across sites.

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 is a very simple tool to use and offers flexibility in using the tool for recovery and transitioning from one state to another."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."
"Overall the product is really good."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."
"One person can do the whole implementation, monitoring, and maintenance of the solution."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
"Storage gateway feature is very flexible."
"The most important part is that you actually know you have a backup of the whole virtual server."
"I would highly recommend it to anyone running an extensive virtual environment."
"The initial setup for a simple environment is very easy. We just do next, next, next, next for the installation. It can be complicated in a complicated environment. It can be simple for a simple environment. I enjoy installing it. It has a lot of features."
"The solution has improved our organization because it's very fast in backup recovery."
"Veeam is very user friendly and you don't need to have certifications to work on it."
"It is a cheap solution with the ability to backup for our needs."
"The most valuable feature is the instant recovery."
 

Cons

"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"Their L1 support is not so good as of now. They have recently outsourced to a company, and they are not doing good."
"The solution's technical team has enough skills, but the process can get complicated with the time you get connected with the L3 support."
"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."
"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"Although we can change the IP address, it would be good to have some other sort of orchestration to make life easier to manage when we failover."
"The initial setup is complex."
"All our customers would like a cheaper license and more flexible deployment."
"The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved."
"SureBackup is sometimes a bit difficult to use."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups or snapshots. That's a nice functionality that Veeam doesn't have."
"The product must improve its performance."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is a very good product, but there's room for improvement."
"The price is slightly higher than its competitors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"This is an expensive product."
"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"The software subscription model can be once a year, or every three years, or every five years."
"It comes with a higher cost and it is an all-inclusive solution."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable."
"I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."
"Veeam Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads."
"We pay yearly licensing fees for Veeam in our data centers where we're using disaster recovery and replication between our many solutions, especially cloud solutions. From the beginning, we've done our licensing from a separate channel through our data center team in Seattle."
"I don't know what the costs are for sure, but I think that it's on a yearly basis."
"The solution is expensive, but it's value for money."
