Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform
We leverage Veeam Data Platform as our backup data environment solution as well as to protect us from any rasomware attacks and attempts.
Pros
- Ease of data backup
- Ease of data recovery
- Disaster Recovery Solution from a Virtual Machine Standpoint
Cons
- Direct Data Recovery from Tape Options
- Creation of backup jobs with more granular calendar scheduling options so that I dont have to build separate jobs because weekly and monthly jobs may happen to fall on the same day of the month
- easier way to do hybrid on prem and cloud backup solutions - ie direct to cloud backup vs. backup to on prem and then to the cloud.
- Virtualized workloads
- Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
- In addition to back up, we also snapshot some of these workloads
- Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
- Immutable storage to protect against ransomware
- “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
- “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
50 workloads - this is pretty much the volume we expected and planned for.
We have a very stable and somewhat stagnant environment so our initial calculations based experience and expected future growth of additional workloads is consistent with initial planning estimates.

Change of direction in backup strategy options based on newer products in the market that also met our changing needs going forward.
The Veeam Data Platform is much more affordable, intuitive and easier to navigate and deploy than the previous data backup solution.

We are in the initial stages of backup to the cloud solutions and options going forward.
We are looking for ways to migrate from tape backups to cloud backups as our offsite protected data storage location.

We do not leverage this option currently and only do VM backups that include the file \ folder data.
