Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

To backup and restore data for many different types of users and applications. It is used institution wide.

Pros

  • Granular backup
  • encryption
  • simple restore options
  • backups hybrid environments
  • easy user interfaces

Cons

  • Can be a little pricey for the small and mid-size businesses it courts
  • Wider National centers
  • Virtualized workloads
  • Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
  • Enterprise applications such as Oracle or SAP HANA
  • Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
  • NAS filers
  • In addition to back up, we also replicate some of these workloads
  • Enterprise UNIX servers running Solaris & IBM AIX
  • Enterprise applications such as Oracle or SAP HANA
  • NAS filers
  • 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)
  • Failover or recovery scripts/plans for orchestrated recovery
  • “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
There are three workloads currently protected including cloud, virtual and physical. These three are the same number of workloads planned to be backed up and stored when contracted. We create data this way and Veeam Data Platform was poised to backup and restore our data in this way without and change in work activity or loss of production or data.
  • Cost savings
  • Avoidance of critical data loss
  • access remote from institution too
Poor performance of existing backup and recovery service. Excellent discussions and demos with Veeam Data Platform. A product that suited our needs well without significant change or revision by us. A company that actively works with small and mid-size business too and not just large corporations. Veeam Data Platform pricing can be steep but the subscription is reachable even for smaller business. Maybe this will be improved further too.
Cloud based storage is one of the workloads that we use. It is beneficial because it grants security from physical catastrophe such as flooding or fire or physical theft. It also provides convenient recovery for all types of users and needs and clearly provides remote 24 hour recovery which is very convenient.
Veeam Data Platform has proven to be much better in terms of both backup and recovery. The product is easier to use, more intuitive and also equally priced. Support is far more responsive and clear with Veeam Data Platform and also has seen more prompt adoption by users than was the case with Rubrik.

Onboarding and porting of existing backups was done very well. Initial training has been terrific too. Real life use has proven to be very satisfactory as users have successfully backed up critical data and gained faith in the restore features of Veeam Data Platform. No frustrations or disappointments has been wonderful. We have moderate needs and Veeam Data Platform is more than powerful enough to do the job for us.
