Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

Veeam Data Platform is currently used to protect VMWare environment, both via VM backups and site to site replication. In addition Veeam Data Platform agents are used to backup data via agents.

Pros

  • Worry free VM backups (full and synthetic)
  • Scheduled replication of VM's for BCP purposes
  • Agent based backup of files and SQL data

Cons

  • Better management of adhoc VeeamZip backups would be helpful but its already pretty good
  • Application Interface could use a more modern facelift

Do you think Veeam Data Platform delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Veeam Data Platform's feature set?

Yes

Did Veeam Data Platform live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Veeam Data Platform go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Veeam Data Platform again?

Yes

  • Its hard to measure business loss from downtime from a disruption when the restoration from Veeam Data Platform backups is so efficient.
  • Having to stand up Veeam Data Platform Proxies at each site for performance purposes was not a cost we had originally planned for but the time savings make it worthwhile.
For small to mid-sized businesses, particularly those with hybrid cloud (or those who are in the migration process) Veeam Data Platform can be your best friend. I have not used Veeam Data Platform in a multiple backup server scenario and am hesitant to recommend but the functionality is available.
