Overall Satisfaction with Veeam on IBM Cloud

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This product is primarily being used as a backup and recovery solution for data--data in an on-premises data center is backed up in the cloud and this is where we use Veeam on IBM Cloud. It is used across the organization and helps have a data backup in the event we need to restore it. Data recovery is something we do once a quarter just to be sure that the solution works well and we are also following the exact steps required in the event of a real contingency. At every data recovery activity, there was zero data loss since we had clearly marked the data recovery point that we were going for.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Helps data recovery especially in recovery point objective without data loss
Easy to use interface
Minimal learning curve to use the product

Cons

Dashboard showing success/failure of backup can be made straightforward with either green for success or red for failure

Return on Investment

Helps us with backup for any issues in case we need data to be restored.
Overall, positive RoI

Alternatives Considered

We compared Veeam on IBM cloud versus VMWare on ESXi, but went with Veeam finally as we are a VMWare environment and wanted to have a backup with another vendor primarily to de-risk.

Likelihood to Recommend

Veeam on IBM Cloud is very well suited for doing data backup from the storage environment in the data center. It does this job well with an easy and straightforward user interface. There is minimal learning curve to get started. We wanted to use the cloud for backup instead of expanding storage in the data center and hence went with this solution. We do data recovery on a regular basis and have been able to retrieve data from Veeam backup in a very straightforward manner meeting the recovery time and recovery point objectives.
