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.

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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.

Veeam Data Platform is the solution to the problem of unreliable backups and complicated disaster recovery processes. The automated backups and strong security features of CrashPlan let me concentrate on the other important things without being afraid of data loss.

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.
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.
Best in class protection, response and recovery
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Great Backup And Recovery Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam Data Platform continues to lead with intelligent, resilient, and flexible data protection. The new AI capabilities—especially Veeam Intelligence and MCP integration—are game-changers, giving teams actionable insights and contextual access to their backups. Expanded hypervisor and platform support (like Proxmox and MongoDB), cloud-native enhancements, and investment from Microsoft reinforce future growth. On the security front, proactive malware detection, SIEM/YARA integration, and immutability safeguards fortify ransomware readiness. Plus, the Hardened Repo ISO 2.0 brings enterprise-class resilience and deployment ease. The implementation of this product is very easy. We are using it frequently for our daily usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Veeam Data Platform is robust and intelligent—but there's room to elevate. Native support for clustered database environments (e.g., PostgreSQL/MySQL clusters) is still missing, limiting adoption in hybrid landscapes. The licensing and pricing structure can be difficult to navigate, with sudden cost escalations adding budgetary strain. UI/UX improvements are overdue—users crave more streamlined scheduling, built-in reports (like space usage trends), and simplified workflows. Customer experience is mixed: support often feels slow or generic, and sales handling—especially during renewals—has been hit by responsiveness gaps. On security, while patches are released, critical vulnerabilities remind us that timely mitigation and communication are key.
