Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform
We use Veeam Data Platform to backup our software we sell to customers. It has given us a very reliable way to project our data. We replicate and copy to multiple data stores across our primary data center as well as our secondary data center.
Prior to Veeam Data Platform we used VM scripts to backup our servers, but that was very inefficient and timely. Veeam Data Platform greatly redunced the cost and complexity.
