Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

Our data infrastructure consists of many modern and legacy line of business applications in a hybrid environment. Meeting the security, retention, and high availability needs of a public-facing municipal government requiring 24/7/365 uptime can be a tall order. Veeam Data Platform fits the bill perfectly with granular backup controls, immutable cloud hosting, and a wide array of platform support at a very reasonable price.

Pros

  • Customizable reporting provides at-a-glance visibility into the health of our backup infrastructure.
  • Integrated threat hunter capabilities ensure backup integrity and provide yet another layer of protection at the file level.
  • SureBackup is an amazing tool that saves time when performing DR recovery scenario testing. This feature alone frees up hours of technician time.
  • Integrated migration tools for various hypervisors eliminate multiple steps when moving between hosts.

Cons

  • Veeam Tech Support is very responsive, but user-facing failure reports could be a little more verbose for those of us who don't mind doing some troubleshooting before opening a ticket.
  • In our use case, I've not experienced many issues that are showstoppers.
  • Implementing Veeam Data Platform as our backup platform provided an immediate 50% yearly cost savings over the previous vendor. In our case, this was nearly $30k/year.
  • Veeam Data Platform gives us in-house control over all aspects of the backup strategy, eliminating the need to bring in additional vendors and introduce points of failure and potential delays.
  • Scalability and multi-platform support give me short- and long-term options when considering budgets and infra changes.
I chose Veeam Data Platform over other platforms due to the following considerations:
1) Former successes with the product
2) Maturity and stability
3) Active development with a clear roadmap
4) Great tech support and knowledgebase
5) Very competitive price point
6) No vendor lock-in with cloud storage or appliances Backup solutions can be granular to a fault. Veeam Data Platform does backup and does it well.

Would you buy Veeam Data Platform again?

Yes

Veeam Data Platform has been a very good fit for our mixed environment and has freed up valuable technician time while remaining budget friendly. I realize this isn't often the case, but, for our application, I haven't found a workload yet that isn't supported.

I don't have much input on where it may not work, as it has been very reliable after planning and configuration for our specific needs.
