Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

Veeam Data Platform has done much better for us, if it shows a backup is exists, generally it is viable. The onus is on the user to verify, but I expect the software to live up to it's end of the agreement.
We have not implemented Veeam Data Platform cloud features. We used early betas and they left a lot to be desired. Would like to try again now that some of that software has matured in capability.
