I think Veeam Data Platform is a great platform for almost all businesses. The only businesses that I would not recommend it for are small businesses that may not have an IT staff to manage the solution or don't have enough infrastructure to justify the expense of an Enterprise grade solution. In those cases I would recommend either a managed solution or a simple backup solution.

I use it for Virtual Servers and also a physical server, and a hyrbid backup of a specific location (folder) in a VM like a physical server. The physical agent method isn't the most intuitive, but definitely doable. Agent updates and version issues sometimes arise, and was simple to fix 2 of the 3 times it was an issue.

We have tested Veeam Backup & Replication in a LAN and the performance was good. In our environment, the servers work 24x7 and there was no noticeable drop in performance so, in scenarios where the infrastructure is up and running 24x7, this is well suited. We have not tested doing a backup from another site so can't tell if it is well suited across the WAN.

In little and middle datacenter where windows is a must... Veeam is all a IT manager need.I've tried a lot of competitors, but Veeam B&R wins in almost all of comparisons. I've a Microsoft SQL Server for accounting and product lifecycle management. I restored a replica taken in production environment during work hours without problem of db consistency (data after the replica are gone... but wasn't a big problem) and the software return to function in less than 1 hour.

The Veeam Software is versatility in nature, it could be use standalone, at home, for backup up the personal computer to an external storage device.
And it could be use at very large enterprise with great volume and workload of backups

The most use Veeam backup capability here in our environment is to protect our workloads and data in backup repositories with immutability. This feature helps us a lot to maintain a secure environment against threats like ransomware. Recovery capabilities: There are a lot of ways to recover data and workloads, like using instant recovery (for VMS, Database Servers, NAS...).

For a test environment I needed to do backups every day to prevent data loss. The setup was easy to understand and the documentation helped me a lot. With the community edition you can't use the same source workstation twice. And i only wanted to backup two disks and that separately, it didn't work so I backup the whole workstation..

For its few faults, Veeam has been a solid system that works incredibly well in our environment. I have seen very few others that can produce better results without requiring multiple replication servers or cloud hosting costs. I have yet to find another system that better suits our system and our data in the same price range.

Veeam Data Platform Foundation is suitable for medium- to large-sized companies. In our case, it is a very good product for the use we had to manage hundreds of virtual machines. Perhaps in very small companies it might cost too much. In any case, I recommend trying the product regardless of the size of the company and evaluate its use.

Veeam works very well for virtualized workloads on their supported platforms - only really used VMWare and Hyper-V. When a physical machine needs to be protected, it works well and integrates into the backup console.
Not sure how much I would use it to back up a NAS, as the licensing is quite expensive.
Veeam might not be great for companies with VMs running really old (unsupported) operating systems....but there is probably something else going on outside of Veeam!

Any environment which is a mix of virtualized and physical workloads with client devices which are needed to be backed up. Veeam has one of the easiest interfaces to learn and consume the various systems into one easy to use platform. Portability when testing and recovering from backup is also key.

On a business level, I cannot think of any reason where Veeam would be less appropriate. Whether you are a small size business or a large scale enterprise, the price point cannot be argued with. I have used multiple backups platforms from Windows backups, to Barracuda, to Datto and I prefer Veeam for the reliability and ease of use it provides.

Veeam Data Platform is well suited for Image backups and recovery in a virtual environment. Primarily, we use Veeam for VMware virtual machine imaging along with imaging of physical computers and servers. Veeam makes disaster recovery easy and efficient. It is also great for restoring files and folders that were accidentally deleted.
