Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform
We use Veeam Data Platform for our backup for our Azure environment. It gives us peace of mind knowing that we have a secure lock on our data especially as we move away from on-premise servers and store information on Azure. It was a little time consuming at first to do a backup for one storage account, and then replicate it for another storage backup by having to do the script ourselves, but Veeam Data Platform was able to help us do that by saving time.
Pros
- Keeps our information on Azure secure.
- Helps replicate scripts to multiple storage accounts.
- Has responsive account managers and teams that are able to tailor to our needs.
Cons
- Initially we had to write multiple scripts to do simple backups on multiple storage accounts.
- Our licenses weren't working fully on Day 1. There were some technical issues to get the licenses fully active.
- The ticketing system is generally good, but if you need immediate escalation, it doesn't seem to have high alerts.
- Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
- Virtualized workloads
- Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
- Capacity Tier to store data within object storage for longer term retention
- License portability as your environment needs change
- Utilizing backup copies for secondary purposes via DataLabs

We have about 100 cloud workloads in our organization. It can vary as our business is evolving and we are trying to be more efficient with our cloud instances on Azure. This therefore leads to optimization of of our workloads on Veeam Data Platform, which has been consistent in keeping our records safe and accessible.
- We work in healthcare; so the accessibility of archived data can be priceless should Azure ever go down.
- If $10K were the average cost for 10 user licenses and each license carried $10K worth of information that could be useful information in the hospital, the an ROI of $1000 per license is easily formidable.
- If Azure went down and we didn't have our coding or stored information for our business, that create tens of thousands of lost revenue per day. Hence, a $10K annual license for ten users - rounded up to $12K per year would equate to $1K per month. If we could not access any information for 1 day if Azure went down, we could easily be losing $10K per day. a 10x ROI is very believable.
Microsoft Azure Cloud has dramatically changed the way how hospitals store records. In addition we have a high dependency on SaaS software that ultimately is run on the Cloud (AWS, GCP). If any of those cloud providers were to go down, we would be dead in the water. Veeam Data Platform gave us the ability to know we have a solution should any of those Cloud providers went down.
Our healthcare organization has benefitted from having backups in place in rare instances where Microsoft Azure did not readily have information available. If we had to pull information that was slow to come up or unavailable for whatever reason, it was good to know Veeam Data Platform had that information backed up.
We do not use NAS in our hospitals.
We utilize both Cisco (networking environment) and Barracuda (email security) for our organization. While they are great for the purposes we have them for, they could not provide the same level of cloud backup that Veeam Data Platform provides for Azure at the comparable cost and comparable flexibility needed for day-to-day operations.
