Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

Use Veeam Data Platform for both on-prem and offsite data protection.

Pros

  • Backup of virtual infrastructure.
  • Backup of physical servers and end user machines via installed agents.
  • Remote backup via Veeam Data Platform Vault.

Cons

  • Would like to see a more intuitive way to recover individual files.
  • Self service recovery for end users.
  • Data protection is not one of the sexy workloads in the environment that has a ROI contributing to the bottom line but if you don't have it and something catastrophic happens the cost is devastating.
  • We transitioned from a proprietary Unitrends appliance requiring unstable agents for all backups and an unintuitive interface that was difficult to troubleshoot often requiring a support call to resolve issues . Veeam Data Platform is stable, largely intuitive, allows non-proprietary inexpensive backup targets, and I have yet to need to make a support call to resolve any issues.
Night and day...Veeam Data Platform is intuitive, stable, reliable, and cost effective.
