I think it's an excellent, easy to configure platform for both on-premise workloads, and many cloud-based scenarios - if you're using AWS, GCP or Azure. However currently no support for Google Workspace, so this is a shortcoming for the education sector which is often heavily Google based.

Perfect for virtualised environments although you can protect workstations and physical servers.
For protecting NAS the solution works well but pricing is less exceptional.

For those who need to verify backups regularly the test restores are very easy and give confidence in the product.

The licencing model gives good flexibility as business requirements change.

In my opinion, if the vast majority of your compute environment is VMware based, Veeam Data Platform is great solution that allows for flexible backups and replication across on premise and cloud storage. The ability to manage immutable copies is a must with todays cyber threat landscape.

Pretty much any large or medium sized entity that requires the use of multiple servers, computers, and crucial information. Backed by a B2 Bucket system like Backblaze, you can be fully integrated with local storage via a NAS and cloud redundancy. We do not currently do it, but there is the option to backup personnel computers in case of information lose.

Veeam I think is probably the best for smaller data sets. I know I have 120 tbs, but I do have those busted out into incredibly small jobs replicating to my QNAP. I have worked pretty hard to ensure that recovery time for just about anything on my network is down to minutes and not hours depending on the size of the vm and the location of the vm.

The product is well suited to our use case, it pulls the data from our storage snapshots and saves on bandwidth usage. The backups are incredibly fast compared to our previous solution, for example, one job used to take around 9 hours to complete and with Veeam Data Platform it completes in under 20 minutes. No brainer really

I used Veeam Data Platform to restore 11.8TB of data after a SAN crash/corruption, utilising the Instant Recovery feature the site was back online in 30 mins and total restore and functionality in 3 hours 15 mins - coupled with 4 hours of testing the customer was very happy the backup and DR solution was well executed. Copy backup were also on a cost effective Synology NAS but were not required as the primary source were 100% recoverable.

Veeam Data Platform was most important to our company because it provided backups as an option for all of our data. We were under review for the FDA and there are certain guidelines that need to be followed, providing Veeam backups helped us surpass our review. There was a scenario where I needed to back up the lab data, the Veeam cloud option didn't seem like it would work as well as the physical NAS, but that is personal preference.

We find Veeam Backup & Replication to be a more than satisfactory product that allows us to back up a number of physical hosts and their underlying virtual machines. The fact that it just works and requires minimal time to be sunk into correcting errors/issues is a big win for our team.

I am unaware of a scenario where the use of Veeam is less appropriate. I think it can be adapted for all uses. However, it is probably overkill for a personal system.

Veeam Data Platform was easy for us to setup. We were shopping for email database backups when we selected Veeam Data Platform. It is easy to operate, and does just as we want. We dont need bloat, just a secure off-prem back up of our databases. I liked the "no bloat" approach. We bought what we needed and were not constantly upsold on other things. It was nice seeing the air gapped option, but it was presented in a non harrassing way like most vendors do.

It does a good job of giving us peace of mind for our Disaster recovery plan. It makes getting the files you need easy and allows for different settings for different types of backups; for some servers, you may need to only backup once a week and keep 2-3 copies, but for others, you may need to do it daily and keep several daily, weekly. Monthly. And even a yearly copy of it.

Overall it’s really fitting well for database backups, the configuration itself is really easy and the very positive thing is, that the database tools like SAP HANA Cockpit or HANA Studio can still be used for most of the administration activities regarding the backup. the problem is: Stability Stability and Stability. Backups are failing far too often including the maintenance of the Veeam is not possible without downtime, which is not acceptable for such a main backup environment.

Keeping in mind we use Veeam Data Platform primarily for backing up physical Windows servers, it works great the vast majority of the time. It "just works" and users never have issues with performing restores. In my experience, when problems do occur they can be time consuming to resolve, but the overall experience has been very positive.
