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.

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

"I use RecoverPoint for VM for my production-critical system because it gives you general electives for the journals and the point-in-time recovery."
"It is a very simple tool to use and offers flexibility in using the tool for recovery and transitioning from one state to another."
"Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"Overall the product is really good."
"When it comes to disaster recovery, this is one of the best solutions there is for EMC products."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to change IP addresses when failing a server over."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"The product’s configuration and settings are very easy."
"First, I like that this solution is fast. Second, I like the stability and flexibility."
"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."
"After we started using Veeam, we transferred all our 30 virtual servers in seven hours to our disaster recovery side."
"VM backup and ease of use are the most valuable features."
"Solution-wise, I would rank the solution as being up there with the best."
"Veeam Backup Replication has good performance and can do location-to-location backups. Additionally, it is user-friendly and easy to manage."
"Veeam is the best one that understands and integrates easily with virtual infrastructure."
 

Cons

"The solution currently supports only VMware."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"Their L1 support is not so good as of now. They have recently outsourced to a company, and they are not doing good."
"The price of this product could be lower."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"The solution's technical team has enough skills, but the process can get complicated with the time you get connected with the L3 support."
"The price can be better."
"I think the backup and integration could be improved."
"They need to improve their technical side."
"The product’s stability has certain issues and needs to be improved. The solution’s pricing could be also cheaper."
"Using Synthetic Full Backup caused issues with storage, but since switching to True Full Backup everything seams to be fine."
"Veeam ONE does the basic job of reporting, but it does not meet my requirements of automated resolution."
"The VMotion feature is not reliable enough to ensure a successful migration operation."
"The endpoint protection console is not centralized."
 

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."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"This is an expensive product."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"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."
"I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment."
"The price is slightly higher than its competitors."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper. Technically, it saves you a lot of money. If you wanted to buy the same functionality out of vSphere, you would spend thousands to essentially get the same functionality."
"When I did a tech refresh, we took out a subscription for the coming five years."
"Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing. The really good and useful features are in the Enterprise plus edition, and that one is really expensive."
"Veeam ONE is offered at a good price."
"We have a yearly perpetual license."
"Veeam Backup Replication can be quite expensive for Office 365 because its license is per user and not for the space that you use. You need one license for each user. If the user only uses a few files on one hard drive, you need a license to back up these files. It was better to have a license model, such as in the Cohesity solution. Cohesity has a license for a space that you use. It's more useful in this case because the license for backup data is on-premises is for CPU. The license is based on how many CPUs you have but it does not depend on how many users use the CPU."
