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."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature, and its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."
"The generalization of the journals allows us to go back in time and choose the snapshot suitable for us. We can grab it as needed."
"The technical support from Dell is excellent."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to change IP addresses when failing a server over."
"One person can do the whole implementation, monitoring, and maintenance of the solution."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The pricing of the solution is fair."
"The ease of use of the product and overall confidence in the product and Veeam support are valuable."
"ROI for backup point of view comes only when you are in a condition that only backup can help, I have been in such conditions many times in which Veeam has proved to be an EXCELLENT ROI for my company."
"It's very reliable."
"Pricing is fairly reasonable and not overly expensive."
"We use it to back up and restore our virtual machine in a live environment without restoring the complete virtual machine, as it just mounts its storage to the NFS and makes the machine live in seconds, which is our favourite feature in Veeam ONE."
"The documentation is very good and it's also easy to install Veeam Backup and Replication."
 

Cons

"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."
"In some cases, the response times could improve, but we haven't had issues with their support."
"The solution currently supports only VMware."
"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 price of this product could be lower."
"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."
"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."
"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."
"Better description of the problems as the alerts are missing good descriptions."
"There is always scope for improvement (in fact with the v8 version there will be improvements in fact!), But already it is great!"
"It needs to support more applications."
"The ability to back up physical servers from within the same Product and not as a separate module."
"Apart from security improvements, enhancing compatibility with various platforms and addressing limitations related to integration and verification would be beneficial."
"I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach."
"The performance is slow when making changes."
"Physical workload protection and item level recovery for Linux-based systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"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."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"It comes with a higher cost and it is an all-inclusive solution."
"Although our license includes support, we have only really used the support when we were using Veeam for Active Directory. The rest of the time, we find Veeam easy enough to use without paying extra support fees."
"Veeam is more reasonably priced than some competing products."
"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 pricing of the solution could be reduced."
"The price of this product is very good."
"The license is a bit expensive."
"The product is expensive."
