How Veeam Data Platform Differs From Its Competitors

Cloud Capabilities

Our group does not have many cloud items that we need to backup. Most everything we backup are self hosted servers. We are considering getting some cloud backup space to help us create a better offsite strategy.

NAS Backup

I would say that we use more "file-share" type backups. We take older servers with a decent amount of storage and either install Windows server or Ubuntu Linux as a "file-share" that we map to the backup system for storage.

Yes we want to backup to our NAS but would be nice you have a speed setting for maximum throughput so we do not exceed our network throughput. If you can do maximum throughput for backing up please tell use how. Thank you

Prior to using Veeam we only relied on Windows backups. We really needed a redundant solution, but a more reliable solution as well that would be there for us when we need it and allow us to have an additional offsite backup for DR purposes.

I am not really sure what to say other than Veeam Data Platform works the way it should. Have not really had many major issues with it. It has allowed us to recover from misconfiguration, accidental deletions of VM's, Missing file recovery to name a few. We have no plans to try to find a Veeam Data Platform replacement.

This is my first experience with Veeam at an organization and I've been very pleased with it as a whole. It definitely comes in handy as a reliable backup solution for our credit union and integrates well with both physical and virtual system. We are a fairly small "shop" at around 33 employees and this product fits the bill nicely and is very reliable and easy enough to use.

Veeam Data Platform is the best product i have ever used to back VMware ESXi VM's

In my opinion, it is mediocre at backing up Physical Machines. I does not have any client side deduplication or inline deduplication.

Veeam allows you to restore individual files or entire VMs quickly and rapidly. We were able to restore our phone system after a ransomware event in under two hours, which helped us get back in business quickly and efficiently. As long as storage is sufficient, it's easy to have multiple restore points and differential/incremental backups for rapidly changing data like SQL databases. Veeam's support is also top-tier, easy to access, knowledgeable, and friendly.

If you need relatively easy to setup and forget backups to go to multiple places, this is the best bet, hands down. If you need to get into things a little more complicated, it can get tricky as you will most likely have to turn to the internet to figure out exactly how something needs to be done.

We don't use it for cloud backups (yet) but everything we use it for with our on-prem appliance as well as the linux off-site runs very well. Restores for both VMs and file system restores are very simple to use. Configuring the backups and the sure backups jobs to run on set scheduled is as easy as you could want or expect.

Veeam is well suited for protecting physical and virtual server workloads. Properly configured, it has very low overhead and high performance.
Veeam is ill-suited to environments running unsupported hypervisors, like Proxmox. Hope support for that is added someday.
