Would you buy Veeam Data Platform again?
No
we have over 2000 protected virtual systems
- Forced us to run on old platform because backup jobs files are over 4TB in size.
- Honestly I wish we had not bought the product at this point
- I want Commvault back.
We wanted Veeam Data Platform because everyone raved about it. It was supposed to be great at replication, which it is, and simple to implement. Commvualt support isn't great, but I can get on the phone or a webex with someone in an hour of less if needed. In my experience, Veeam Data Platform support is horrible.
