Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

We utilized Veeam Data Platform to backup our VMs running on Nutanix AHV. We had it backing up VMs to different storage solutions including two onsite NAS and some within the VM that was running Veeam Data Platform. We had Veeam Data Platform setup to backup on specific schedules for specific use cases. We also therefore utilized Veeam Data Platform to restore deleted files and folders from some VMs as a method of easy recovery.

Pros

  • Easy to Setup
  • Easy File Retrieval
  • Easy VM Recovery

Cons

  • Difficult to maintain
  • Used multiple worker VMs, which meant more potential problems
  • At the time, could not create immutable backups
  • Provided stable recovery
  • Didn't meet our security needs
  • Great price point
Cohesity has more functionality, more flexibility, and a much larger price tag. Veeam Data Platform is a great product for small to medium businesses who need a backup and recovery solution with a small business price tag. Veeam Data Platform takes some time to setup, but can be done by most IT professionals. Once setup, Veeam Data Platform needs very little maintenance.

Would you buy Veeam Data Platform again?

Small environments, who want a solution without an appliance. For us, Veeam Data Platform checked all the boxes at it's price point, but lacked immutable backup functionality. We could have improved our Veeam Data Platform instance to meet our needs, but instead chose to go with a solution that included an appliance to better meet our needs.
