User-friendly platform supports seamless integration and comprehensive backup solutions
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have worked with Veeam Data Platform for between two to three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There are no issues with stability in Veeam Data Platform. It operates smoothly, although some configurations or personalization might require attention.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability is quite simple and user-friendly. It involves acquiring additional licenses as needed. Integration with other vendors is also seamless.
How are customer service and support?
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.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have also worked a little with Storage Dorado 3000 or Dorado San Protect.
How was the initial setup?
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.
What about the implementation team?
I handle the implementation myself, so there was no external team involved.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
What other advice do I have?
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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Peace of mind with seamless backup
What do you like best about the product?
Once you complete the simple setup, you don't have to worry if your backups are successful. You receive alerts to all successes and failures, and it plainly spells out the results of any failure. Whether you backup daily or hourly, and backup bare-metal or VMware, Veeam and their Support team are there to give you peace of mind. With rapid DR, and integration with all platforms, Veeam will have you back up and running quickly after the worst of failures.

I cannot think of any negative to their product. It does what it says it will do at a reasonable price. Thank you Veeam!

Server backup and DR.
Veeam is the best backup software for VMware
What do you like best about the product?
I use it every day. Its easy to use and ultra-reliable and their support is top notch!

They send out quite a bit of marketing emails about seminars touting their various options and features. This can get somewhat annoying.

It provides a reliable backup platform for all of our business critical data.
Virtual Backups Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
How simple it is to setup and use. The reason we switched to Veeam from a competing product was that competing product lacked compatiblility with some of our systems. Veeam is compatible with new versions of Windows server right away which made Veeam the choice for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
No real downsides. There are some cheaper backup solutions, but they are not as good making Veeam totally worth the cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have full visiblity to our backups both onsite and in the cloud so we know we are protected against disaster.
Great Backup software
What do you like best about the product?
Most importantly, when the backup works, you know the restore will work. That can be a restore of an entire VM or down to a file or folder. I have done both and every time I had to do a restore I know it will work. That is what Backups are meant for, to be restored.
What do you dislike about the product?
The upgrade process has been awful the last two times I migrated to the newwest version of Veeam. When I do my next upgrade, I am hoping this time it will work without me having to pen a ticket with Tech Support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When a disater happens, if you have a backup file. knowing that it will work, is worth the price of paying for Veeam.
If you don't use it, you should.
What do you like best about the product?
I can confidently know my RTO can be met using instant recovery features. The flexibility of platforms, authentication methods, & security-minded approach to backup are really unparralleled. I've used many back up platforms over 25 years of my career. Veeam is the only one I trust. The ease of use an intuitive nature of the GUI are all best in class in my opinion. Veeam is the 800 lb gorilla to beat in the industry. I pull backups almost constantly and my Veeam server is the hardest working server on my network.
Implementation is easy, pushing and updating clients is easy. The Linux client actually works very well compared to others.
I also use Veeam to back up my cloud environments, the ease of integration with cloud platforms is just as easy as everything else you can do in Veeam.

What do you dislike about the product?
I have really don't have any problems. If I do their customer support has gotten me fixed quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In IT we are always pressed for time. The ability to recover files, volumes, or even whole servers can take literally minutes instead of hours to recover. Veeam will also allow us to implement a future top of class DR warm environment.
Veeam has been a very important partner in our backup and DR strategies.
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam is very easy to use and intuitive. I love that is easily integrates with our storage platforms snapshots for extremely quick and easy restores. Support has been great the few times we have had to use them over the years. The software is easy to setup and update when there are new versions.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that when I install the Backup client that it then adds all of the plugins for technologies that we don't use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Veeam for backups and DR. It is a very easy to use product. We are able to offload most of the day to day administrator of it to our level 1 support guys without any issues.
Great fit for VMware backup
What do you like best about the product?
easy to use, doesn't take forever to set up and backup speed is quick. Also support is wodnerful whenever you need them for anything. We are using it mainly for VMware and integration was quick and easy
What do you dislike about the product?
not really. the cost could be better but overall very happy
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have being looking for a solution to backup all our vms and restore them in an easy way. Veeam solved them all.
