Considered Both Products
Veeam Data Platform
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Veeam, in our opinion, stands taller than Acronis in functionality. While they both have a very similar setup we found that Acronis just didn't perform backup or restore jobs as quickly as Veeam. The NAS storage options were configured the same for both software applications …
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Veeam Data Platform is more user friendly and has more options for backups and restores than Barracuda in my experience.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
We were actually using the open-source version of Bacula. We switched because with Veeam Data Platform we could do full VM backups, and it was easier to train new staff on the backup procedure. However, Bacula did a great job for what it was and saved us money.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Veeam Data Platform is far superior to our old symantec software. it's faster, compresses data better and, above all, all restoration tests work.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
It came with the server we purchased. It's worked fine over the years, so we will keep using the platform.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Comparing the consoles, Veeam Backup & Replication, we feel, has a better UI--more logical. The creation of jobs is "select and click next" on both tools but Veeam has more options regarding the backup job. They are visually different but we feel that Veeam is more logical …
Chose Veeam Data Platform
I've also used a cloud-based backup system written by Datasoft however this was a low-volume system designed for single servers or desktops. As for Backup Exec, I much prefer Veeam for the user interface and the ease of management. BE always seemed to take a lot of time to …
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Prior to going with Veeam Backup & Replication, we used Backup Exec to backup up our VMs and data files to tape. The big difference between those two has been the ability of Veeam Backup & Replication to back up to disk first then copy those backups to tape giving us both the …
Chose Veeam Data Platform
We used Zerto and CA Arcserve to address these needs without migrating to Veeam Backup & Replication. Zerto is a very successful instant backup and we are still using it now. It does what Veeam application cannot do in instant replication. CA Arcserve, on the other hand, is …
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Prior to Veeam Backup & Replication, we were using open source products for backups. Veeam Backup & Replication is much less complicated and much easier to use; in setup, configuration and day-to-day functions.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Veeam is much more pliable and works across many platforms. Also easy to scale to fit to our needs.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
We have supported and used Veeam with our clients, so the solution definitely had an advantage over all of them except Tivoli. But, the [ease of] deployment really got our hearts. Did I mention we spent only 6 hours deploying it, whereas Nakivo took us 2 days to just understand …
Chose Veeam Data Platform
I tested Altaro VM Backup a few years ago, but I missed the scalability and flexibility, which Veeam is offering.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
I received a recommendation from a senior colleague. It was reputable and with a free tier. I tried it and it worked great with all the features I needed so I didn't try any other commercial software.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Previously we only used the standard built-in backup features of Microsoft Windows Server. It was ugly. So we started researching for a solution that met our requirements. Of course, we started with the famous names. The first of them was Veeam Backup & Replication. It's fully …
Chose Veeam Data Platform
We used to use Backup Exec before we starting using VMware. However, once we started to virtualize our environment, we could no longer use a product that was not built from the ground up for virtualizing. Veeam has so many more options than Backup Exec has and we know our …
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Before using Veeam Backup & Replication, we tried other backup and restore software and tools. Veeam Backup & Replication stacks up against them for being more user friendly, quicker on backup and restore tools, creating more detailed reports, and simpler to replicate jobs …
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Lower license cost compared to Acronis.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Veeam Backup & Replication is fast and simple to use over other solutions.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Ease of use. A lot of knowledge in the market. A lot of blog articles from non-veeam people are available.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Veeam worked much better than the other products I tested, Naviko and Bru server.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Is the best tool for VMware platform and is easy to handle.

We have a small deployment with a handful of physical hosts and two dozen or so virtual servers. It's been a perfect fit for us to manage all those backups and to restore entire systems from or even pull specific files/folders from a backup as needed if just a few things need changed/rolled back.

Pros
Veeam Software
  • File-level restore is quick, reliable, and much simpler than other platforms I've used
  • Replication is extremely simple to configure and test
  • Agent setup for user endpoints and subsequent backup storage is incredibly simple
  • Cloud repository configuration is extremely straightforward and well-documented

Cons
Veeam Software
  • Support could stand to improve by a bit. The level of support has seemingly lessened over the years I've been using it.
  • It needs to be able to report backup repository statistics better when XFS and ReFS are in use.
  • It could be a little better about cleaning up after itself (old logs, etc.).

I have used many other data backup products that are on the market. I trust the configuration options within Veeam to do as they are labeled, without any specific back end software changes that may cause backups to fail if you don't use a systems integrator.
I trust the product for my own home environment as well due to relationship I have with the product at work.

Usability
Veeam Software
Veeam is fairly simple in terms of how it is set up; its not an overly-complicated dashboard that can be intimidating to less technically-inclined users. Veeam also offers good instructional videos to help users work through how to do specific functions. I appreciate that they have specific video tutorials rather than having users scroll through a cumbersome manual.

Reliability and Availability
Veeam Software
The Veeam Backup & Replication solution is up and running every time you need it as it was planned. In more than 3 years that we have been using the product every night, it might have failed or presented an error once or twice, so the availability percentage is almost at 100%.

Performance
Veeam Software
Veeam does a good job with backing up our servers in a timely manner. We are still at the beginning of our Veeam use and are pleased with the speed at which we can access the system as well as the backups and restore points. Veeam is definitely superior to our previous backup system in terms of speed and accessibility

Support Rating
Veeam Software
The support team has never asked me to jump through silly hoops or waste time on pointless exercises. They seem to truly have a handle on what may be wrong. In fact, when we were having trouble getting our license renewal setup (because of yet another license migration at Veeam) a support incident got us connected to the right people to get our renewal done in time.

Implementation Rating
Veeam Software
(I assume this question should say "Veeam" and not "Crownpeak Universal Consent Platform") Planning is key. Planning your backup schedule, size, data restore points, replication if you're doing that, &c. Testing is also important; make sure you back something up and then do a test restore. Set up alerts so you know if things aren't working (or even if they are, always good to know that too).

Alternatives Considered
Veeam Software
We used Zerto and CA Arcserve to address these needs without migrating to Veeam Backup & Replication. Zerto is a very successful instant backup and we are still using it now. It does what Veeam application cannot do in instant replication. CA Arcserve, on the other hand, is clearly lagging behind the Veeam Backup & Replication product and does not meet today's requirements.

Scalability
Veeam Software
In terms of scalability for our company, Veeam was able to cover our backup needs with ease. They have options for even more individualized backup if we were to need them; i.e. if a specific workstation needs its own independent backup. We have not used these resources yet, but I am confident they will be beneficial to our company in the near future.

Return on Investment
Veeam Software
  • Confidence before starting riskier maintenance windows is a large component of what veeam is able to offer for us
  • Some of the segmentation between different backup servers across our data enters causes unnecessary delays or backups that are duplicated unnecessarily
  • Lack of certain storage vendors being natively supported requires hacky workarounds not fit for a production environment
