For open-source products, I am using OPNsense and email security is handled by Amavis, which is from Linux.

OPNsense is not on the cloud; I have it deployed on-premise.

Apart from Amavis and OPNsense, we don't have other open-source products, especially in the security part, or backup solutions or storages.

For backup processes, I am using Veeam Backup & Replication for the protection of our virtualization and virtual machines.

Based on my subjective experience, the greatest part about Veeam Backup & Replication is its fast recovery and easy management.

I often use fast recovery and the Instant Recovery features. I have faced no challenges while using Veeam Backup & Replication; everything worked all the time.

Veeam Backup & Replication is easier to configure and more reliable than UrBackup, which makes it a superior solution.

The price is consistently an area for improvement.

It's quite expensive to scale because if we have more machines to secure, we have to buy a greater license and a bigger license, though it's quite easy to scale overall.

I would appreciate seeing some updates with AI functionality or anything AI-related, though I am uncertain if there is a use case for AI in backup.

I have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for backup for four years.

There are no glitches or performance issues whatsoever; the solution is very stable. The only issues I encountered were due to the performance of the server, which is not a problem of Veeam Backup & Replication but our own issue.

It's quite expensive to scale because if we have more machines to secure, we have to buy a greater license and a bigger license, but it's quite easy to scale overall.

I would rate it eight points for scalability.

I had experience with technical support from Veeam Backup & Replication one time, and it was quick and easy. There was just one component that didn't work right, and we wrote to them, and I think one and a half hours later, we solved the problem.

I would rate Veeam Backup & Replication support a ten; my experience was very good.

Positive

I was previously using UrBackup.

Veeam Backup & Replication is easier to configure and more reliable than UrBackup, which makes it a better solution.

The setup is relatively easy; it's just about starting the setup, starting the upgrade or installation, and entering your values, your license and so on. Then I install, and it works.

I do the setup myself; I think only the license is expensive, not the setup cost.

I do the setup myself; I think only the license is expensive, not the setup cost.

I have experience with other products for backup, but Veeam Backup & Replication is the most reliable.

I use Sophos products in my operations. There is one product called Sophos X-Ops, an Advanced Threat Protection product, but I don't really know this one.

Sophos Central is on the cloud. We don't work with cloud providers. We just have everything we own on-premise.

I don't work with Sophos Virtualization, Security, Sophos Email, Phish Threat, or Network Access Control (NAC) products. All my security is open-source.

It's a part of a Linux server, and the name is Amavis, spelled A-M-A-V-I-S.

We use Veeam Backup & Replication for backup. Apart from Amavis and OPNsense, we don't have other open-source products, especially in the security part, or backup solutions or storages.

We don't use replication, but I know from another work experience that replication of backups with Veeam Backup & Replication works fine.

Veeam Backup & Replication has all the functions I need.

My final rating for Veeam Backup & Replication is 8 out of 10, primarily due to pricing concerns.

My primary use case for Veeam Data Platform is for backup, implementation of failover plans, and backup of data both on-premise and on cloud. I use it for backup Active Directory, backup Office 365, and other similar tasks.

All features of Veeam Data Platform, such as backup, immutability, and replication, are highly valuable. It supports the backup of Active Directory and Office 365. 

The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers. 

My organization appreciates its scalability, simple acquisitions of licenses for expansion, and how easily it integrates with different vendors.

The database backup process could be improved. It would be beneficial to enhance this feature and also consider the addition of a web interface to increase accessibility. 

Additionally, the cost model could be adjusted, particularly the price of licenses, as reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.

I have worked with Veeam Data Platform for between two to three years.

There are no issues with stability in Veeam Data Platform. It operates smoothly, although some configurations or personalization might require attention.

Scalability is quite simple and user-friendly. It involves acquiring additional licenses as needed. Integration with other vendors is also seamless.

I have not had much interaction with Veeam's technical support as I work more closely with sellers. However, from what I understand, Veeam provides good support and I have no complaints.

Neutral

I have also worked a little with Storage Dorado 3000 or Dorado San Protect.

The initial setup of Veeam Data Platform is very easy and user-friendly. On a scale of one to ten, where ten is very easy, I would rate the setup as 7.5 out of ten.

I handle the implementation myself, so there was no external team involved.

The pricing of Veeam Data Platform is based on packs rather than by individual units or users. A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.

I would recommend potential users of Veeam Data Platform to be aware that it is a user-friendly, all-inclusive solution compatible with a wide range of market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers. 

I rate the solution eight out of ten overall.

The product has significantly streamlined operations for our clients, simplifying their data management and enhancing protection measures.

Nearly all of Veeam's features are beneficial, particularly standard backup functionalities, application-specific backup capabilities, and the ability to create backups in Azure and our data center for disaster recovery purposes.

They could improve the product's response times for technical support and enhance support for newer hypervisors.

I've been working with Veeam Data Platform for about 11 years now

Once users become familiar with Veeam's operation, scalability is straightforward. There's a learning curve, but it's manageable.

The technical support services are good. However, the response time could be better. 

Positive

In addition to Veeam, we have migrated clients from competitors such as Dell Backup (formerly Tivoli Storage Manager), Spectrum Protect (TSM), and Arcserve to Veeam.

The product migration is generally a straightforward process. We assist with the initial setup as part of our service offerings. Setup times vary based on the environment, but typically, we can complete the initial setup within a day. Additional time may be spent configuring backup policies, discussing recovery point objectives (RPOs), and versioning requirements.

We recommend Veeam to a wide range of businesses, from small enterprises to large corporations. Veeam products are generally user-friendly, although navigating through logs may occasionally be necessary, it's not overly complex.

I rate it an eight. 

I've been using Veeam Data Platform in our data protection strategy regularly for the past year. We rely on it daily to manage our information.

The most critical features of Veeam Data Platform for ensuring availability and integrity are its fast virtual machine restoration using duplication for quick backups and the COBRA point functionality that allows us to run regular tests in our environment.            

I have been using Veeam Data Platform for the past two years. 

As for stability, I'd also rate it as an eight out of ten. We haven't encountered any issues with stability in the two years we've been using it.

I'd rate the scalability of this solution as an eight out of ten. 

I've contacted Veeam's technical support, and I found it to be very good. They responded promptly within two hours when I had an issue with restarting a process, and they were able to solve the problem effectively.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward.I'd rate my experience with the initial setup as an eight out of 10 for ease.  The solution is deployed on the cloud using CrownCloud as the provider. The deployment took approximately thirty minutes, and it was done by an integrator, requiring two people for the deployment.

I've observed a return on investment mostly during problem instances where quick recovery or restarts are crucial. It's akin to having insurance; you might not use it often, but when needed, it's invaluable to have.

We dont have the exact licensing costs, but we pay for a comprehensive service package that includes technical support, cloud services, and data center services. There may be additional costs beyond the standard license, but I'm not sure about the specifics. However, I believe the yearly cost is around five thousand dollars.

Before using Veeam Data Platform, I evaluated other options such as Big Kapolei and SZAC. However, I decided to go with VMware Data Platform because it seemed more appropriate for our virtual machine environment and the integration looked good.

I would rate Veeam Data Platform an eight overall.

Our clients use Veeam Data Platform for backup and replication.

Veeam Data Platform copies data very efficiently. Our clients choose the solution because it is simple and inexpensive.

Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools. The solution's competitors, Rubrik and Cohesity, have much better tools for analyzing data to determine whether there has been a cyber attack.

I have been working with Veeam Data Platform for 5 years.

I rate Veeam Data Platform a nine out of ten for stability.

I've not had any problems associated with the scalability of the solution. It doesn't have any big limitations. Our customers for Veeam Data Platform are mostly small to medium enterprises.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten for scalability.

The solution provides good technical support.

Positive

Cohesity has some solid features around deployment flexibility. Cohesity has functionality over and above backup and replication. Rubrik is vastly superior in terms of its cybersecurity credentials.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

The solution's deployment time really depends on the size of the project. Depending on the size of the project, it may take days or weeks.

The solution's licensing is relatively simple.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten.

Veeam Data Platform is very flexible and provides many options for storing data on several different platforms, depending on what the customer wants to achieve. The solution's deployment requires two people, including a networking and storage person. Managing the solution takes a quarter of an FTE or one. Veeam Data Platform is less functional than other products but is more cost-effective.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
