An user-friendly solution that helps with data backup and replication
What is most valuable?
The tool is good for VMware environments. However, it's not very effective for physical servers, payment servers, and libraries.

Intuitive and used to back up virtual machines and do site backup
What is our primary use case?
We use the Veeam Data Platform to back up virtual machines and do site backup.
What is most valuable?
The solution's recovery process is very smooth.
What needs improvement?
The solution's price could be cheaper. It would be nice if the solution scanned for malware in the backups. A lot of Veeam's vendors are moving to Site Recovery, not just the traditional backup and restore. If that were an area they'd be moving into, then that would be very good.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Veeam Data Platform for over five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the solution a nine out of ten for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Veeam Data Platform is a scalable solution. Less than 200 users use the solution in our organization. It's direct on our virtual service, so our users don't have interaction with it.
I rate the solution an eight out of ten for scalability.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I've previously worked with different solutions like Veritas Backup and Barracuda Backup. Veeam Data Platform is by far the best solution at the moment.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of the solution was straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
We worked closely with a third-party consultant to deploy the solution. They knew the product inside out, which made it more efficient. The solution's installation was straightforward and took just a few hours.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Since our Veeam license is perpetual, we only pay for annual maintenance.
What other advice do I have?
My experience with data recovery using the Veeam Data Platform has been very good, smooth, and efficient. The solution is very intuitive and easy to use. It's straightforward, and the layout is nice.
Veeam Data Platform gives us peace of mind and assurance that we have a product backing up our data and that we can retrieve it reliably. One of the biggest problems with other backups is that sometimes, retrieving the data is not as easy as it should be. So, we get peace of mind with the Veeam Data Platform. If in doubt, I recommend users do a trial with the Veeam Data Platform. Once they've tested and seen how easy and reliable it is, they can choose to use the solution.
We've not had to rely on the Veeam Data Platform for disaster. If we were to have a disaster, the solution would give us assurance. The solution is invaluable at the moment.
Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Affordable, fast, trustworthy, and enables easy reporting, managing, and troubleshooting
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for daily, monthly, and yearly backups. We use it for data protection, backup, and replication.
How has it helped my organization?
It is a trustworthy tool for backups. We get daily reports. We know how many backups are running, how many have failed, and the reason for the disk and network failures. We can easily troubleshoot whenever the backup fails. Once, the database server crashed, and we had to rebuild the server. We were able to restore it from scratch. We recovered the data until six hours before the crash. We could restore every table, database, and transaction log properly.
What is most valuable?
We can take snapshots easily. The tool is fast and trustworthy. It is easy to report, manage, and troubleshoot. We can migrate the tool easily from one host to another host. We can create policies and set the retention period. We can easily change it anytime. We can easily expand the storage.
What needs improvement?
Granular-level backup is difficult. Restoring one email, file, folder, or database table is very hard. The vendor must work on visualization.

I rate the tool’s stability an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We utilize various tools from different brands such as NEC, HP, and VMware. However, Veeam stands out as a superior option due to its ability to seamlessly integrate and manage multiple VM environments.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup and implementation process is relatively straightforward. However, challenges may arise, particularly concerning data management, especially when dealing with large volumes of data. The complexity tends to increase as the amount of data grows.
What about the implementation team?
Deployment can be completed swiftly, typically within a month. However, the duration of tasks such as replication increases proportionally with the size of the data being handled.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is reasonable and falls within the average range.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend it, although we've only utilized the backup feature. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.
