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.

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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its helpfull for the DR
Very easy tool for VM and data backup
What do you like best about the product?
It works support all virtual platform and complete your all need
What do you dislike about the product?
setup backup taks is sometimes get challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
daily backup and creating images
A tool that offers scalability and stability along with simplicity
What is our primary use case?
I use Veeam Data Platform in my company to back up virtual machines and replicate them to offsite locations.
How has it helped my organization?
Veeam Data Platform reduced the RPO. In our company, one of the network monitoring systems is working on the DR side for some reason, which may be because of some problem with the IP provider, but we just managed to restore it from the replication on our main data system and data center, after which we got the system running in a few minutes. My company doesn't use the tool too much, though we use it in case we need to recover some data, which happened only a few times, after which the tool has been running smoothly. It is a great product.
What is most valuable?
There are no features of the product that I found to be specifically valuable to our company. I like the simplicity of the product. I like the overall product since it is a great tool that is available in the market.
Though I don't like the pricing model of the solution as it is constantly being made more and more expensive, it is a great product that my company likes.
What needs improvement?
Veeam Data Platform uses only a limited set of features. The product's pricing is an area of concern where improvements are required.
Our company will eventually renew the licenses, and then we will discuss internally the cost in the upcoming year because we don't have the time to switch to another solution. If my company gets a solution that does the same job as Veeam Data Platform for a lower price, then we may switch over to that product only because of pricing. Our company uses the tool for its features that allow for the backing up of virtual machines and SQL databases, so it is not a big deal to switch over to another solution since we don't have a very large system in that sense. My company only has around 15 to 20 virtual machines, so any tool that provides backup for the virtual machines and helps us with the replication to another location is okay for us.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Veeam Data Platform for a year or two. My company is a customer of Veeam. Currently, I use Veeam Backup & Replication v12.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
In our company, only two people use the solution.
The tool is used for its backup capabilities every two to three days. For some of the virtual machines in our company, the tool's backup capabilities are used every day while we only monitor the logs, during which, if there is something to be resolved, then we jump in and resolve it.
How are customer service and support?
I don't even remember if we faced any technical issues with the solution in our company, because of which we had to consider raising a ticket with the product's technical support team. In our region, there are some people with whom I was in touch, some of whom were and some still are Veeam employees, who are doing a great job and with whom our company is satisfied. Most of the consulting parts related to the solution were taken care of by our company with the help of the local people or technicians in the Adriatic region. The documentation part of the product is okay.
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase was easy to handle, and it was not a big deal. In our company, we will eventually install a tape library in backup within the next few months. In our company, we will have to figure out how the integration of Veeam Data Platform with a tape library needs to be done. From our company's experiences with Veeam Data Platform until now, we are happy and really satisfied with the product.
The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.
The solution can be deployed in a few days.
What about the implementation team?
I deployed the tool by myself without any training, and I felt it was very easy.
What was our ROI?
Though the tool is an expensive product, it is worth the money since it does the job.
In our company, we use the Veeam Data Platform for the protection of our data, especially if we get stuck with any malware or damage in our information system, but we don't have to face such scenarios. Our company uses the product as a backup of our data, so I don't see any ROI, to be honest. I hope that the tool's use in our company does not reach a point where we need to evaluate the return on investment. Presently, there is no return on investment, and it only involves costs for now.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product is expensive.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not have to evaluate the other products in the market since I bought Veeam Data Platform owing to the fact that I knew some of the employees at Veeam in my region.
What other advice do I have?
In our company, we will introduce Veeam Data Platform as a backup for Office 365, with which we will reduce the total instances that we are protecting because we have already removed some virtual machines. After the aforementioned process is followed, we will eventually revise our license for backing up our data that is hosted on Office 365 platform, and then we will use even more features, after which we will know how that works. Basically, we are very happy with the solution. In our company, we don't even have upgrades to deal with since they are being taken care of very smoothly by Veeam.
I recommend the product to those who plan to use it, and I still recommend it to a lot of the people who use the community version of the tool, which is also great for small infrastructures.
I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.
Extremely simple, natural and useful software for Backups and Recoveries
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam Data Platform is crazy simple and effective for backups and restoring stuff. As someone who's super into building mobile apps, I've gotten a lot of good use out of it. Setting up backups is easy peasy, and scheduling them to run automatically is clutch since I don't have to constantly baby sit. The portal makes checking on stuff smooth too and
What do you dislike about the product?
i dig how detailed but simple they make bringing back your data. Its been mad reliable for my workflow. But sometimes the app takes longer than I'd like to open up, especially if my WiFi is being sketchy. A little annoying when everything else is so smooth.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anyway Veeam's backup system has totally solved my data protection headaches. Knowing my app data is secure and I can grab it whenever I need to is a huge weight off my shoulders. I waste less time panicking about losing data, and get to focus more on building dope apps and innovating. It's made me way more productive.
