Ensures effective management of multiple cloud environments, seamless integration with major providers like AWS and user-friendly interface
The backup and disaster recovery process within the Data Platform is exceptionally user-friendly. Whether you're performing a backup or restoring data, the graphical user interface makes it straightforward. All capabilities can be accessed with ease, thanks to the intuitive design of the interface. The reliability of the Veeam Data Platform has been consistently satisfactory in our deployments. We have encountered no issues, and all of our clients have expressed satisfaction with its performance. We are particularly pleased with the DIP, especially given our focus on the Nutanix platform. DIP with Nutanix virtualization has been especially valuable to us. The inclusion of important functions and capabilities, such as ransomware protection and scanning, was crucial. It's noteworthy that these features are already available in version twelve, which is a significant enhancement. When utilizing Veeam to manage RTO and RPO objectives, the primary focus lies in minimizing recovery time (RTO) and ensuring effective project or object management. Branches, especially those with high IO and ITO demands, such as those in SANX deployments, prioritize data visibility before backup and archiving. Typically, lower RPOs are managed by the recovery features of the virtualization layer. Our primary aim is usually to achieve the shortest RPO feasible within the specified parameters. However, in our deployments, the shortest configured RPO is based on the specific requirements of our clients. Managing multiple cloud environments with the Veeam Data Platform is highly effective. The platform offers robust support for major cloud providers like AWS. I've personally tested its integration with AWS and iOS and found it to be extremely straightforward and user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"PRTG Network Monitor is a very stable product."
"Ability to create a dashboard inside software monitoring."
"The real-time monitoring feature in PRTG is invaluable to me"
"I would boldly say that this is the most scalable network monitoring tool that I know of"
"It is nice to have one place where all the information is right there in front of us."
"It allows us to directly add individual VMs independently."
"Technical support is helpful."
"I can create my own program sensor. This means I can add extra monitoring capabilities into the already fundamentally strong foundation."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to verify that backups are valid."
"Storage gateway feature is very flexible."
"The technical support is good."
"There are many valuable features, for example how Copy Job is controlling the band with accelerators. The Enterprise Manager is a valuable feature. There are many very useful features. We can push in the market, because we have an advantage over the other solutions."
"I think Veeam ONE is great as it is, it does everything I need."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is definitely very useful and simple to learn, and the restoring processes are very straightforward, making it a very solid product."
"This solution is very flexible and user-friendly — it's very good. It's very good with our virtual and physical infrastructure."
"The solution works well in two different environments, whether it is on-premises, cloud, or a combination."
 

Cons

"With custom sensors, there is a lot of work which needs to be done in the background, just for it to be tailor-made for the specific thing that we are actually monitoring. We take a lot of time with the custom sensors. I would like to see the customer sensor be more robust and a bit more varied."
"While the desktop app is good, they could slightly improve it. We would like it to be a single pane of glass. At the moment, you can only see certain portions of information. You have to scroll through to make it more granular. We want them to develop the desktop app to be more user-friendly."
"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."
"It probably has this already, but if it had a mobile app that would be helpful. For example, on a day like today when I'm out, if I could just fire it up and see green, green, green, green, green or red, that would be good."
"PRTG Network Monitor is okay to use, but you'll need some time to analyze the data. If it can automatically locate or identify the problem area, it would be more helpful to users."
"The solution has to evolve as an end-to-end monitoring solution. It has to do better at understanding the application at the deepest level."
"The product could be improved by being cross-platform friendly."
"We would like more cloud native sensors for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc. A lot of businesses are moving in that direction, so having something where we can pull performance stats out of these cloud services would be great for us."
"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."
"It's a great product, but only if you have everything virtualized."
"The more features the solution has the more complex it can be to set up. Veeam Backup & Replication can be complex."
"Apart from security improvements, enhancing compatibility with various platforms and addressing limitations related to integration and verification would be beneficial."
"It's not that easy to use from the management side."
"The integration with other solutions should be improved."
"Granular-level backup is difficult."
"I would like to see the replication and a recovery plan of the servers in the cloud. It's very important."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When you buy PRTG, everything comes in one bundle. Licensing is very easy."
"We've got the unlimited package... I believe it was around the £15,000 per year mark."
"We are satisfied with the price."
"We pay for a perpetual license and we have a support fee."
"There is a license to use PRTG Network Monitor and it is annually."
"We have an unlimited perpetual license, so we just pay support costs and it can scale throughout the organization."
"I'm paying something like €1000 per year for the maintenance. I've got unlimited sensors."
"We pay for PRTG Network Monitor annually. The price is approximately 10,000 rupees annually."
"The pricing is good and affordable."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable."
"We pay for the license of Veeam Backup Replication on an annual basis. The cost of the license is approximately 70,000 rials. The support and maintenance are included in the price."
"The product is expensive."
"Veeam is quite expensive. There are no additional costs to the licensing fees. IBM Spectrum Protect is also expensive. They should improve its pricing. They raise the price every time there is an increase in the features of the product. They should think twice about that."
"We have increased our scalability while being able to free up senior resources from recovery activities. I estimate our overall savings to about $20,000 per year."
"It's an extremely cost-effective solution."
"The pricing of the solution could be reduced."
