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.

Continuous replication and backup simplify customer service across enterprises of any size
Veeam Data Platform provides me with the most useful features such as application restore, single file restore, backup and replication, and continuous replication. We utilize these features for management and the customers we serve. Veeam Data Platform provides features such as immutability and ransomware protection. While we use other applications for ransomware protection, we rely on Veeam Data Platform for encryption.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to change IP addresses when failing a server over."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."
"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."
"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."
"We like Veeam as it is the kind of backup that has basic snapshots, is very useful for us as we have a lot of virtual servers, has special features like replication and different kinds of backup that we can use, and it adapted to our complex network design when other solutions could not, while remaining stable with good performance and strong scalability."
"While I do not recall whether the latest version is 10.0 or 11.0 I do know that it allows one to make a back up repository that is very scalable and simple."
"I truly like the solution; it is easy, fast, and reliable when it comes to growth."
"Veeam is the best one that understands and integrates easily with virtual infrastructure."
"The monthly reports come complete with graphs and summaries, it's really helpful."
"The pricing of the solution is fair."
"They have some of the best vendor support around."
"It has helped us to protect our IP address and critical information."
 

Cons

"The biggest challenge we faced was attempting replication between two different kinds of storage systems, like IBM on one side and Dell EMC storage systems on the other, before opting for VPLEX."
"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."
"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."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."
"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."
"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 currently supports only VMware."
"Veeam doesn't have the reporting part quite right. Its data visualization isn't as slick as other solutions like Veritas."
"I face difficulties when trying to deploy Veeam ONE because my active directory restricts some particular rights."
"The cost needs to be considered."
"We had issues with the technical support. We had a very good response for some incidents and a very bad one for other incidents."
"The data duplication should be improved."
"Retention policy isn't flexible enough to configure complex retention policy."
"They need to improve their technical side."
"Add an archive option to support legal obligations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"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 an expensive product."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price is a bit expensive but it depends on the environment that you have on how much it will cost."
"It comes with a higher cost and it is an all-inclusive solution."
"When it comes to pricing for a backup solution for data centers, you do not care about the price. We just care about the service and want it to be reliable. In terms of subscription, it really makes sense. When you want to use all the functionalities it is good that Veeam did the subscription-based model, this is what gives it the most strength on the price."
"It's the market price. It isn't expensive, nor is it cheap."
"We are fine with its pricing policy."
"I don't have an issue with the price of Veeam Backup Replication."
"For what it does, the price is acceptable."
