Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer.
Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature.
Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam.
The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out.
Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.
What needs improvement?
Based on my experience, it is very difficult to suggest what Veeam Data Platform can make better, as every feature is included. However, AI should be integrated to enhance troubleshooting processes for failing backups. I believe it should provide error codes and solutions in the failure notifications.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working on Veeam Data Platform for the last six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I can say the stability of Veeam Data Platform is almost 8 to 9, as the cluster functionality was not there in earlier platforms such as version 12, but is provided in version 13.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate the scalability part of Veeam Data Platform 10 out of 10 because we have the ability to scale out the product at any time with scale-out backup repositories and can add licenses as needed.
How are customer service and support?
I would rate the technical support from Veeam 6 out of 10 because I have faced difficulties due to response time and quality of support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
It is a simple initial setup process for Veeam Data Platform, especially compared to other backup software.
What other advice do I have?
I am only using the automation features in Veeam Data Platform to generate automatic reports through Veeam ONE.
We are currently using Microsoft Azure for cloud support in Veeam Data Platform, as most of the clients are going for it.
I would rate this product overall a 9 out of 10.
Reliably Smooth Backup & Recovery Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the reliability of the Veeam Data Platform's backup capabilities which provide a smooth and secure experience. The platform's speed and ability to perform backups and data recovery swiftly give me peace of mind, ensuring nothing goes wrong. The background operation of the platform means I don't have to constantly monitor it, and it runs seamlessly without needing my intervention. Its stability ensures that I can recover data within a minute, enhancing my trust in its performance. The integration process is straightforward, allowing me to manage everything from one place without resorting to extra tools. The constant backup feature significantly reduces the pressure of day-to-day operations, allowing me to focus on other tasks without repetitive monitoring. Additionally, the initial setup was very smooth and straightforward, with guided options that made it very easy to navigate. Taken together, these features make Veeam Data Platform an invaluable tool in my workflow.

Reliable, Fast, and Easy-to-Manage Backup Solution
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam Data Platform provides excellent reliability and flexibility for both on-premises and cloud backups. The interface is intuitive, and setup takes minimal time even for complex environments. I especially like the instant recovery and replication features — they make disaster recovery much faster and stress-free. Reporting and monitoring tools are also well-designed and easy to understand.

Comprehensive Review of Veeam Backup & Replication
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about Veeam Data Platform is its dependable and adaptable approach to data backup and recovery. The platform integrates smoothly with virtual, physical, and cloud environments, making it much easier to manage hybrid infrastructures. Its instant recovery capabilities and support for immutable backups offer reassurance against data loss and help protect against ransomware threats.
What do you dislike about the product?
Veeam Data Platform offers a high level of reliability, but new users may find the initial setup and configuration process somewhat complex. Additionally, certain features require extra licensing, which can complicate cost management, especially in larger environments. While the console interface is robust, it could benefit from a more intuitive design to facilitate quicker navigation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Veeam Data Platform enables us to safeguard our essential workloads across virtual, physical, and cloud environments through one unified solution. It addresses challenges such as data loss, downtime, and vulnerability to ransomware by providing dependable backup, instant recovery, and immutable storage. As a result, our business continuity has greatly improved, our recovery times have decreased, and we are better able to comply with data protection policies.
Data resilience and mobility enhance operations with effective automation and support
What is our primary use case?
This is a retail environment where I usually recommend Veeam Data Platform for companies.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features in Veeam Data Platform are data resilience and data mobility.
In assessing the platform's ransomware protection, I find Veeam's immutability feature very valuable.
Regarding their role in policy-driven data management, I find that the data qualification within the backup jobs is quite sufficient. At the customer side, we speak about backing up Hyper-V data and unstructured data, and this is mainly what the Veeam Data Platform is focused on. Therefore, this is quite well integrated.
What needs improvement?
The licensing model is currently in improvement, and changing from instance license to Veeam Universal License is a great step. Further improvements could include the logging functionality, which I think should be more granularly adjustable, but in this case, it can be improved anytime.
Regarding additional features expected in the next release to make it even better, most parts are on the way, and the AI integration should be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been dealing with Veeam products for almost eight to nine years.
How are customer service and support?
I would rate their technical support eight or nine out of ten. The escalation from first, second to third tier is sometimes very long-lasting, but the resolve rate is quite high.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
Regarding the initial setup and configuration, I find it straightforward and it should not be more simplified because users are able to back up most environments within minutes. This is one big advantage of Veeam Data Platform.
What other advice do I have?
Their pricing is reasonable.
The advanced analytics, which are part of the Veeam ONE portfolio, are not currently productively used in optimizing backup operations.
In my assessment of the automation features of Veeam Data Platform, it is greatly usable if implemented correctly, but currently in the customer environment, it is not being used. We have to use the built-in REST API functionality to automate the workflows at the customer side specific to the customer environment. The REST API functionality of both platforms, Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam for 365, is greatly improved over the last years and almost fully usable for automation.
On a scale of one to ten, I rate Veeam Data Platform a nine.
