Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Well, we use it to perform backups of the servers in our Nutanix environment. We have about 200 servers that we run backups on.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Windows Server Backups
Instant file restore

Cons

Diagnostics using the Nutanix platform can be rough
Having to run a Veeam update, then log into the appliance to run the binary updates can be a pain
the errors I receive generally take a team of folks to interpret.

Return on Investment

Being able to keep things running with minimal data loss has been great
Instant restores save my life on occasion
The reports are somewhat useful

Key Insights

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?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Veeam Data Platform go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Veeam Data Platform again?

Yes

In a Nutanix environment, the issues generally come down to overly vague errors, and the synthetic full backups not working properly. it would be much easier if I could compress the differentials into a full backup on-demand instead of making it as part of a job and never having it work. However, on the fli[p side, because everything is sitting in a hypervisor, instant restores are super easy and have saved my sanity a time or two.
