We performed a comparison between Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam Data Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."No problems with stability."
"Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."
"Provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred."
"Its ease of use for restore is really good. For Exchange, the Exchange Active Directory is great."
"They introduced a new feature called the Immutable Repository feature, which helps protect environments from malware attacks that target backup file extensions."
"Veeam Backup Replication has good performance and can do location-to-location backups. Additionally, it is user-friendly and easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature is the internal recovery."
"Its backup capabilities in general are great."
"It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
"I think Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is an excellent solution for ensuring user-side disaster recovery. It involves a platform on-premise, which can be replicated to another site. It's a very effective solution, and we prioritize both the FTO and the FTO."
"Veeam Data Platform offers features specifically designed for ransomware defense."
"The solution's interface, GUI (graphical user interface), and backup are good."
"The solution's recovery process is very smooth."
"Backup and restore features are valuable."
"The solution's instant recovery feature is good and allows you to capture and copy individual files."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"There are certain solutions, such as Rubrik and Cohesity, that are little by little, taking market share. Veeam needs to be more aggressive to keep their dominance in the space."
"The price can be a bit expensive."
"In terms of what could be improved, when creating a backup job with Veeam, you can create a daily backup, but it doesn't do it within that job. It does not give you the ability to also set the terms for monthly and/or weekly backups. It has to be a separate job. It gets clunky to manage the timeframes where you don't want a daily to run on this day and creating weeklies. And you don't want a daily to run on this day doing monthlies. That is hard to deal with. It would be really nice if you could do it through a single command line or a single interface."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper."
"They need to focus more on cloud backup."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Veeam Backup Replication has agents for Linux, but they are not supporting Cluster Shared Volumes. It would be great to have agents for Linux be cluster-aware, just like the Windows agents. That's the main pain point. In addition, we should be able to handle the automation of Oracle backups from the backup server. We should be able to schedule, control, and deploy them from the backup server rather than relying on scripts and/or the system you are backing up to perform the backup. Currently, we install the plug-in inside Oracle VMs and then use crontabs to handle the task schedule on each machine for scheduling the backups. Veeam Backup Replication should also support the automation of Nutanix backups from the backup server, not from the proxy. The other not so major thing is that they don't support legacy systems because Veeam is a new company. It is not as old as other companies. They don't support physical workloads that are really old, which a major challenge, but they do have a point. Legacy systems should be virtualized, and if they're virtualized, then the backup is not an issue with Veeam, but some customers like the physical setup, and they don't want to have it virtual."
"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."
"Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement."
"Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools."
"The solution's pricing may be expensive compared to other products."
"Veeam Data Platform should improve its air gap backup features."
"Regarding managing LQ or Liberty delivery, there was no system initially; it was solely for backing up Vista Disc. I suggested enhancing this option. However, my experience with Dibree was unsatisfactory. I recommended adding Azure for EBMI XPower backup and incorporating SolarWinds for end-of-month risk processes, which were not part of the initial solution."
"Apart from security improvements, enhancing compatibility with various platforms and addressing limitations related to integration and verification would be beneficial."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"The product must provide better security."
