External reviews are not included in the AWS star rating for the product.
My company uses Veeam's available tools on an on-premises model. We don't have a cloud workload. We aim for the on-premises replication and backup application through Veeam.
Veeam ONE is used as a backup for all of our critical workloads. My company also does the replication part with DR. Veeam ONE, which is used for centralized monitoring and for all the workloads, so it will give us some kind of capacity planning and performance recommendations.
The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the replication part can be managed with some kind of automatic switchover capabilities as well, which is a good feature available compared with other products. We won't have to deal with the servers with different IPs that are segmented since Veeam ONE automatically takes care of it. We can also do a switchover from primary DB to DR or DR to primary DB, and it is somewhat very easy and user-friendly, especially if you compare it with other products. The tool provides an easy-to-navigate feature of all the functionalities it has for its users.
There are certain shortcomings associated with the virtualization infrastructure. If it is possible to have some kind of infrastructure that provides application visibility, then it can be a huge advantage for the users.
I would like to expand a total maintenance solution for the infrastructure side which can include applications, storage, and everything. Veeam ONE will be confined to some VM resource-level solutions, but I think it needs to grow beyond that.
I want the product to be available at a cheaper rate.
I have been using Veeam ONE for more than four years. I am a customer of the tool. I think my company uses Veeam ONE 7.0, which is the latest version of the product.
It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten. Introducing a cloud version of the tool can increase its scalability.
Only the administration people use Veeam ONE, which consists of around two or three people.
The product is used on a daily basis.
There is no plan to increase the number of users associated with the product.
There are no immediate technical certified people in Sri Lanka. Support is very difficult. Certified people are not available to provide support services. I rate the tool's support services as a three out of ten.
Negative
Currently, our company uses Barracuda Spam Filter and Barracuda Email Security Gateway. My company also uses an open-source ESP tool for email security. I have experience with Commvault and Veritas.
On a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy to set up, I rate the product's initial setup phase a seven out of ten. With the configuration part, the lack of technical people, like engineers or local engineers, to do the setup part is an issue, and it is the only difficulty that we have come across.
During the product's deployment phase, there are a few configuration issues while doing certain kinds of activities.
The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.
The solution can be deployed in one or two days.
One person can deploy the solution.
I think the tool saves us time and effort when doing any type of activity.
On a one to ten scale, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as a five out of ten.
I evaluated Veeam ONE against Commvault. Veeam ONE's replication capability is better than that of Commvault.
The product has improved data management tasks, especially in the area of capacity planning. The capacity planning provides suggestions on which VMs where oversizing is required or whether there is under sizing that is required.
The analytics capabilities have helped our company's decision making processes since based on the tool's capacity planning feature, we will know what will be the resource consumption. Based on the resource consumption part, we can decide whether we need to go in with another resource allocation or do we need some kind of a hardware upgrade. It is possible to have an initial budget allocation based on the usage of the resources.
I am satisfied with the product.
I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

The price is a bit high. The tool could be cheaper.
I will recommend the tool to others. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.
I've been using Veeam Data Platform in our data protection strategy regularly for the past year. We rely on it daily to manage our information.
The most critical features of Veeam Data Platform for ensuring availability and integrity are its fast virtual machine restoration using duplication for quick backups and the COBRA point functionality that allows us to run regular tests in our environment.
I have been using Veeam Data Platform for the past two years.

Positive
The initial setup is straightforward.I'd rate my experience with the initial setup as an eight out of 10 for ease. The solution is deployed on the cloud using CrownCloud as the provider. The deployment took approximately thirty minutes, and it was done by an integrator, requiring two people for the deployment.
I've observed a return on investment mostly during problem instances where quick recovery or restarts are crucial. It's akin to having insurance; you might not use it often, but when needed, it's invaluable to have.
We dont have the exact licensing costs, but we pay for a comprehensive service package that includes technical support, cloud services, and data center services. There may be additional costs beyond the standard license, but I'm not sure about the specifics. However, I believe the yearly cost is around five thousand dollars.
Before using Veeam Data Platform, I evaluated other options such as Big Kapolei and SZAC. However, I decided to go with VMware Data Platform because it seemed more appropriate for our virtual machine environment and the integration looked good.
I would rate Veeam Data Platform an eight overall.
We use the solution to back up our more than 100 virtual machines.
The most valuable feature of the solution is its backup feature.
Veeam Data Platform should improve its air gap backup features.
I have been using Veeam Data Platform for four to five years.
I rate the solution a nine out of ten for stability.
Around five engineers are using the solution in our organization.
I rate the solution’s scalability ten out of ten.

Veeam Data Platform has very good pricing.
On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten.
I work with the updated version of the solution. I would recommend Veeam Data Platform to other users.
Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
We use the product as a backup solution during emergency scenarios.
One thing we like about the product is that it's good and not as expensive as similar products. Right now, there are different ways to back up your information—you can back up directly to a disk or the cloud. It allows you to have various kinds of repositories.
It would be nice to see more affordable training options for individuals who want to enhance their skills. Some people I know have been interested in training courses, but they found them too expensive.
Veeam Backup & Replication is a stable product.
I rate Veeam Backup & Replication's scalability as nine out of ten.
The product is stable and takes care of everything we need. We've only had to ask for support a few times, but each time, they've been really helpful.
Positive
The main difference between the solution and its competitors is based on pricing. Other products are more expensive.
Veeam Backup & Replication's installation is simple.
Every backup solution is like car insurance. You'll see the return when you have a problem. If you don't have any problems, you won't see the value of a backup solution. You realize the value when something goes wrong. It helps you feel more confident that you can recover the information if something happens to your company.
The solution's pricing is cheap.
I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.
