Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

We have been using Veeam Data Platform as part of our backup strategy. In our Datacenter, we have physical and virtual environments where our main applications running are hosted. We use Veeam Backup and Replication as our main backup solution for those environments and we also use it to backup our Microsoft O365 data .
  • Virtualized workloads
  • Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
  • Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
  • Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
  • License portability as your environment needs change
  • Automating test restores to validate recoverability
  • Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
  • Data Backup
  • Backup & Recovery Software.
  • Cloud Backup
  • O365 backup
  • I would like to see the back up reports with more details and better recommendations.
  • I would be good to have better compression of the backups.

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Veeam Data Platform again?

Yes

In our Datacenter we have around 80 VMs and physical server been backup by our Veeam Backup and Replication instance. We have been using it to backup around 50TB of our O365 data. However, we are moving most of our workloads to the cloud and because of this changes, we are using less Veeam Data Platform to backup our workloads.
  • It has massively helped us to maintain and recover our data more efficient and faster.
  • Veeam restore point has given us the tranquility we need to make major changes on applications level knowing that we will have that rollback capability to the application previous version when things go wrong.
I can't say much about the previous decisions that were made regards starting to use Veeam Data Platform. What I can point out is that Veeam is and has been one of our main backup solution and we are very satisfied with the risk reduction of data loss it brings to our operation.
Apart from backing up O365, we haven't been using Veeam Data Platform to backup our workloads we have hosted on the cloud.
We we have used Veeam Backup and Replication to backup our file servers. It is very impressive the file recovery feature that Veeam offers.
I think Veeam Data Platform has the capability to offer a comprehensive back solution for every backup scenario and needs. It has been one of the main backup solution we have been using for us to be in compliance with the company's policies. However, depend of the cloud platform you are hosting your application and taking in consideration the cost you have to transfer outbound data from your cloud provider, I think Veeam Data Platform is more suitable for backing up on-premise data.
