User-friendly platform efficiently manages backup and data protection
What is our primary use case?
We use Veeam Data Platform for backing up virtual machines and the entire environment. We back up Oracle and SQL databases with Veeam Data Platform. We are using Veeam Data Platform to back up 365, email, and mailboxes.
We have been using Veeam Data Platform for about 18 months to back up our on-premises environment. This includes all VMware clusters, Nutanix clusters, Hyper-V clusters, and Oracle and SQL databases. We are purchasing backup capabilities for mailbox 365 and VIP mailboxes.
The flexibility provided by Veeam Data Platform's hybrid deployment options is very simple, efficient, and user-friendly.
What is most valuable?
The flexibility provided by Veeam Data Platform's hybrid deployment options is very simple, efficient, and user-friendly.
We are using all features on-premises because we purchased the complete advanced platform. The main feature is the virtual environment backup, which is perfect in the market.
The most important aspect of this platform is data security with immutable data in the storage.
What needs improvement?
Improvements to backup with Oracle would enhance the Veeam Data Platform.
Compared to IBM, Veeam Data Platform is simpler but brings some challenges with automation in backup and Oracle backup configuration. Veeam Data Platform needs to improve this feature and plugin.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Veeam Data Platform for about one year and a half.
How are customer service and support?
I needed support once and was satisfied with the service. I would rate their technical support a 10 out of 10.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used IBM but have replaced it with Veeam Data Platform.
The main difference between IBM Spectrum Protect and Veeam Data Platform is the practice of storing data in storage and making backups of virtual machines, connecting to the clusters to extract all the backup of virtual machines. It works perfectly.
What was our ROI?
I don't have specific ROI numbers to share, but the platform brings security to the business because with IBM, we didn't have protection for the virtual machines.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is appropriate for an important platform that protects company business data. I don't consider the price expensive given its importance.
I believe it is not expensive; it's the regular price.
What other advice do I have?
We are currently testing Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) through a POC for about six months. We plan to use NKP for its friendly operation and administration capabilities. We are undergoing a transformation in our environment and need the platform for application virtualization and containers.
We use Carbonite for replication to the DR site. We don't currently use the intelligent automation and orchestration features from Veeam Data Platform, but we plan to implement them in the future.
I have only tried the automated lifecycle management feature for NKP. We are still testing the platform's logging capabilities through another analyst.
I would rate Veeam Data Platform 10 out of 10.

Veeam Backup & Replication Review: Reliable Data Protection for Modern IT Environments
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Veeam Data Platform is its seamless integration of backup, replication, and recovery into a single, easy-to-manage solution. The platform offers robust support for virtual, physical, and cloud workloads, making it highly versatile.
What do you dislike about the product?
licensing costs can be a consideration for smaller organizations, particularly when scaling across multiple environments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Veeam Data Platform is solving key challenges around data protection, disaster recovery, and ransomware resilience across hybrid environments. It allows us to reliably back up and quickly recover virtual machines, physical servers, and cloud workloads from a single interface. This minimizes downtime, ensures business continuity, and reduces the risk of data loss.
Continuous replication and backup simplify customer service across enterprises of any size
What is our primary use case?
My customers for Veeam Data Platform include enterprise, small, and medium businesses.
What is most valuable?
Veeam Data Platform provides me with the most useful features such as application restore, single file restore, backup and replication, and continuous replication. We utilize these features for management and the customers we serve.
Veeam Data Platform provides features such as immutability and ransomware protection. While we use other applications for ransomware protection, we rely on Veeam Data Platform for encryption.
What needs improvement?
I found that OpenStack could be improved in the tool, as we have a challenge with OpenStack in the backup. OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Veeam Data Platform for over 11 years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
Deploying Veeam Data Platform was easy in setup and deployment. We have deployed it more than a thousand times for ourselves and our customers, taking only a couple of hours for deployment, discovery, and initiating backup.
How are customer service and support?
They respond quickly in most cases. However, in some instances, there is back-and-forth communication between Veeam Data Platform, VMware, and other vendors to identify the source of the problem.
The support is great overall. While most cases are handled perfectly, we have encountered a few challenging cases. I would rate their support an eight or nine out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Veeam Data Platform is more expensive than OpenStack because we pay for it in US dollars, while we pay for OpenStack in Egyptian pounds.
Veeam Data Platform provides benefits worth the money we pay, as we serve it to our customers. As cloud providers, we offer backup as a service to our customers.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Commvault is the only competition to Veeam Data Platform in the market, and its only advantage over Veeam Data Platform is OpenStack backup capability.
What other advice do I have?
There are some AI features available. We are working with Copilot for Office 365 and are beginning to explore its use.
We are still working to deploy it integrated with Veeam Data Platform for notifications and to summarize the backup.
Veeam Data Platform is the first recommendation from my company and me, as it's easy to set up, and the portal and management are very straightforward compared to competitors.
I would rate Veeam Data Platform a nine out of ten.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cheap and technical backup product, which shows when deployed at scale
What do you like best about the product?
As product utilises S3 Cloud storage, which we can purchase considerably cheaper in blocks than providers can offer, it reduced backup costs by a large margin.
This also allowed us much more involvement in set-up of said storage, location for offsite backups, local backup storage targets etc. etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Cloud management console proved to be less than accurate, with failures reported for working backups, failing backups not reporting in, missing schedules, agents offline and no warnings, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On-prem physical and virtual server backup provision. Much more involved product than the majority we've tried, but this also means the onus is on you as not only the provider, but also the data/storage controller.
