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.

Very Helpful, Must have
What do you like best about the product?
Having Veeam is peace of mind, easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike, it is very easy to use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We lost data and VM server now are able to recover them
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.
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.

Veeam backups our entire virtual infrastructure to our immutable repos. It also scans for malware and other potential threats so we know that our backup data is safe.
Backup & Restore Capabilities are unmatched!
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam excels at providing reliable, flexible, and fast backup solutions. It supports VMware, Hyper-V, and cloud environments, as well as physical machines, making it a robust solution for diverse infrastructures. The ability to backup virtual machines at a granular level and restore them quickly is one of its standout features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Veeam’s pricing structure is somewhat complex, with different tiers (Standard, Enterprise, and Enterprise Plus) and separate costs for certain features like cloud storage. This can be a bit confusing for new customers trying to determine what they need and what they’ll pay.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data loss and downtime are major concerns for any business, particularly when mission-critical data is involved. Veeam provides fast, reliable backups and quick recovery options to prevent data loss and minimize downtime during outages or disasters.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing about the product to dislike

Fast and reliable backups and offsite replication
Good, Smooth, and Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
The Veeam data plantform has been a very efficient system when it comes to restoring VM's for us in a HyperV environment. We have never had any issues with the data being there one we have triggered a restore.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI isn't always the clearest, it can sometimes take a little poking around to try to figure out where everything is when you need to do a restore. Make sure you take the time to document the steps before you are in a data restore incident.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Veeam handles our data backup, backup up our multiple physical hosts and Virtual Machines. We have a very heavy Hyper-V user so it's great that Veeam works so well with Hyper-V Backups.
Veeam is a versatile software suite - a must for any virtualization platform!
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about the Veeam Data Platform suite is how versatile it is, beyond just backups, it can also help us to P2V conversions, disaster-recovery replication and orchestration, bare metal backup restores, V2V conversions (i.e. VMware to Hyper-V migrations, or on-prem to cloud)
What do you dislike about the product?
For companies with a large number of virtual machines, the phasing out of per CPU socket licensing in favor of per VM pricing has significantly increased the cost of ongoing ownership of the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most practical features are included with the basic Veeam license (Essentials/Foundations), it's versatility beyond the mere scheduled backup functionality, i.e. doing P2V, V2V, V2C migrations, makes it a very powerful tool, and replaces the need for additional products to do those tasks.
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?
Hybrid Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
