I worked on a project involving a multi-cloud environment, specifically backing up on-prem servers to the Azure cloud. However, the project was not completed due to financial issues between our company and the client. The technical configuration, such as creating a Veeam Data Platform plugin on Azure and connecting it with on-prem servers, was mostly done, but the project was halted before creating jobs. The challenges were financial and not technical. This was my first and last experience with such a multi-cloud project.

Backup made easy and fast
What do you like best about the product?
I'm quite new to this backup game, but Veeam just blows the competition out of the waters.
1. Speed in backup and restore
2. Robust secure configs
We could restore an entire VM of 1.5TB to ESXi in about 15 minutes from a local drive to local. We benchmarked against other backup software but nothing is as close to this speed.
We run hourly backups and the ease of intergrating them into multiple vCenters is just excellent.
Maybe the next step is to actually get a higher tier subscription for malware scannning.
Try the community edition for yourself and experience it.

What do you dislike about the product?
If you're new to the platform.
Navigating isn't the easiest. Config is feature packed. Security is so tight you would love to hate it.
But better secure than insecure.
One small drawback might be the backup size that Veeam creates. They are so massive that you might have to upgrade your datastore just to accomodate the backups.
I had to call Veeam support a few times just to get my head around where is everything and how to configure everything.

Easy and secure backups with Veeam Backup & Replication.
What do you like best about the product?
I am so grateful to Veeam Backup & Replication for making my daily and weekly backups such a breeze. The automated features guarantee that our backup processes are not delayed, which is very important for the DR planning and execution. The security features are of the highest quality, thus I am assured that our data is safe. Besides, it is very easy to use and well-documented which saves me time when I am configuring and managing backups.

The only small problem is that the licenses can be quite pricey, especially when you have to protect many machines. Besides, the monitoring feature through Veeam One is not free and therefore we need two licenses which seems like an extra switch.

Best backup solution for VMware over the last 10 years
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam's instant recovery is an awesome feature if you ever have an issue with a VM; you can restore a backup and migrate it to production if something happens to the production server.
Agent backups are great also for targetted backups of specific folders at a higher frequesncy than full backups.
Live migration of VM if you don't have a full sphere license.
Pretty simple to use, and support will help you fix any issues that arrise with a job as far as errors go.

What do you dislike about the product?
now that my 10gig network seems to be working at full speed my issues are resolved. When I reached out to veeam, they would not give an exact answer as to why something was bottlenecked and left that to me to hire somebody to explain how the backup could be slow. Anyways, ended up being a storage array I retired and then my backup speeds spead up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have daily backups of all servers, with synthetic fulls and I also rotate backups to offline storage. I could also replicate the backups to a DR site if we had one.
Veeam has saved the day more than once
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to configure, Reliable to use, Easy to recover. Veeam setup is Easy to configure yet offers many features to fit your organization. Best of all, when it comes time to recover your data, you can count on it being there and restoring quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not the cheapest solution on the market and their new subscription licensing can be a little confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I know that my data is secure and recoverable.
Comes with malware detection features that can detect malware before initiating a backup job for a server
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
One of the newest features in version 12.1 is malware detection. This feature allows the software to detect malware before initiating a backup job for a server. Although I haven't had the opportunity to personally try it out due to its recent release, I came across it while working on an environment in a cluster for a customer.
What needs improvement?
The solution's pricing may be expensive compared to other products.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for one and a half years.
How are customer service and support?
We have faced several issues with Acronis because their support hasn't been as helpful compared to Veeam Data Platform's support. It has been very supportive and has assisted us in many cases. Unfortunately, our experiences with Acronis support have not been as positive, leading us to discontinue working with Acronis for several months now.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
What was our ROI?
The solution is worth its money.
What other advice do I have?
Veeam Data Platform has a significant difference compared to other tools or products. It is not very simple because it offers a lot of advanced features that can solve various problems in customers' environments. However, managing it is not difficult, but it's not as straightforward as Acronis, which is simpler because it focuses on core features like backup and simple recovery without many additional complexities.
I find that I rarely encounter issues with the product. One notable aspect is the simplicity of its licensing, especially when compared to other vendors. Additionally, with each use, I discover more features.
I rate the overall product a ten out of ten.

Veeam Data Platform encompasses all the necessary tooling and components to protect our data and keep the business running.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to dislike about the Veeam Data Platform. If I'm being overly critical, it can be a rather complex product for beginners.

We use Veeam Data Platform for secure backup & replication with fast recovery, application‑aware, image‑based backups for Windows and ransomware protection with immutable object storage backups without blowing up our monthly bill.
Backup and Recovery without Pain
What do you like best about the product?
That an incredibly complex solution like Veeam works so well andso consistently. Support is responsive and helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The complexity of the software sometimes requires a lot of research to understand safe and effective ways to accomplish tasks. Not the most intuitive piece of software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Maintaining our secure 3x3 backup plan. Very time consuming, if even possible, before Veeam.
