Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

Veeam Data Platform has been our replication solution for our VMware environment for several years. The integration and ease of use when dealing with VMware hypervisors made it an easy choice. As the cyber threat world evolved, we looked at several options to either enhance our backup and replication strategy, or to replace Veeam Data Platform all together. Several factors contributed to our decision making process such as ease of management, compatibility, licensing, cost, and feature set. In the end, our decision was to keep Veeam Data Platform. The product set has evolved over the years to handle the threats we see day to day.

Pros

  • Ease of management platform
  • Integration with VMware
  • Integrate with immutable storage

Cons

  • Ability to customize retention periods without setting up new jobs.
  • Backup/Replication of physical database servers

Would you buy Veeam Data Platform again?

Yes

  • When we first purchased Veeam Data Platform, it was prior to having the ability to write immutable backup files. With the threat of ransomware in todays cyber world, this ability should be a must-have on any IT security check list. The addition of immutable backups without having to learn a new platform was a bonus.
  • Due to the structure of our environment, the simple licensing model of Veeam Data Platform has proven to be the most cost effective solution we have found. We are not a fan of the subscription based model, and as of this point, we have not been forced into one with Veeam Data Platform.
In my opinion, if the vast majority of your compute environment is VMware based, Veeam Data Platform is great solution that allows for flexible backups and replication across on premise and cloud storage. The ability to manage immutable copies is a must with todays cyber threat landscape.
