Veeam Data Platform

We use Veeam Data Platform for roughly five of our clients, and in my department, I think we have eleven clients total.

Five of those clients are using it exclusively for Veeam Data Platform, and I cannot say anything bad about Veeam Data Platform. The support is very easy to reach out to, and the engineers are very well-versed in the product. They really know how the product works, and if we have any problems, they easily assist our support team. We have twenty-four by seven support with Jet.

We have a client that has virtual machines, so that is what we are using the backup for. We also use the reporting tool that has been very helpful in knowing the backup package of customer service management.

One thing that I like about Veeam Data Platform is the encryption feature. We activated that encryption feature, and while I am not sure about any other security features, that is one of the security features that we activated, which is the daily encryption.

Veeam Data Platform is very straightforward by far. If I were to compare it to IBM with Spectrum Protect, Veeam Data Platform is very simple, especially the verification. It is very straightforward; you do not have to configure a lot of things, so that is why we are using it.

I would rate it as ten out of ten for its straightforward nature in terms of ease of managing, deploying, and using the solution.

There is a limitation on the bare metal backup. I think that is the main limitation. If we would have that flexibility on the bare metal backup, it would be a very complete package.

We have been using Veeam Data Platform since twenty twenty-two, and it is a new setup for us.

Veeam Data Platform is very easy to scale out, and I would rate it as eight.

The support is very easy to reach out to, and the engineers are very well-versed in the product. They really know how the product works, and if we have any problems, they easily assist our support team. We have twenty-four by seven support with Jet.

Veeam Data Platform has never failed, and there has never been an issue recovering data.

Potential customers can do a POC just as we did and see for themselves the ease of use, the flexibility, and the lack of complex configuration when comparing it to NetBackup or IBM Spectrum Protect.

The setup of Veeam Data Platform is very straightforward. We just fired up the backup version and the staging server. The configuration is also very easy, so we have not had any issues and we are very happy with how it was set up. It is the most effective recovery software that we have.

Based on our experience in setting up the backup, the installation itself and the configuration is very straightforward. We just followed what is in the guide. A vendor assisted us, so we did not have any problems or issues.

We do have experience using some backup and recovery software.

We are using Veeam Data Platform for one of our clients and we are using NETStack Hub for another client.

We have IBM for backup as well.

That is the Spectrum Protect that is IBM, PowerVM, or Spectrum compute and protect, which is IBM protection.

For development, we are using Veeam Data Platform.

I would rate stability as nine out of ten.

The reason it is not ten is because there is room for improvement.

The licensing part would need to be checked.

The benefits from using Veeam Data Platform include reliability and peace of mind. Whenever you need a backup, you do not have to worry about it because we have experienced it, and Veeam Data Platform has never failed. There has never been an issue recovering data.

When you have Veeam Data Platform in your environment, if you ever need to recover data, you would have it at ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent. If you ever face any disaster, it depends on how you set up your recovery time objective or recovery point objective. Based on our experience, I can guarantee you would have a very good data recovery landscape when you have Veeam Data Platform onboard.

I rate this review overall as nine out of ten.
