Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used it to back up my existing cluster which I hosted on Microsoft Azure. It is actually good that it also supports other cloud platforms which helped us test our resources and this backup services on other cloud platforms as well, which included AWS and Google Cloud. The business problem was about making a backup of the existing cluster without messing with it in any way and we also had less talent in this field which made it hard for us to do this. But Veeam services are quite user-friendly and easy to use with great customer support, so we were able to perform the backup and even test it on our different clusters as well.

Pros and Cons

Supports so many cloud services providers.
Easy to configure, use and maintain.
Good customer support.
Good learning resources.

Resource consumption was little bit high, so it would be great if we could save some resources.
Backup types should be increased.
Only necessary files should be backed up, not the other unnecessary files, meaning that it should automatically detect those files.

Return on Investment

Adding a backup service will always reduce your ROI, and our resources never faced any issue, so for us, it was completely loss.
But still, as compared to other providers it is low on cost.
And it is low on resources.

Reliability and Availability

It was good in terms of UI, customer support, learning resources and documentation. It was also good in resource consumption and cost. It gave option to recover data on other cloud which is quite impressive. After recovering, you can create another backup in various regions and still manage all the the copies without any trouble.

Alternatives Considered

Another thing is that Veeam has wide variety of option for Cloud Providers as compared to Rafay. Veeam is also providing other solutions which helps in easy to implement those solutions, while in Rafay we have to go for other solution providers to get those services.
