Veeam Data Platform Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Veeam Data Platform (CDP), replication and backup to protect our database, VMs and files. CDP ensure realtime backup and recovery for our databases and most critical information without downtime; ongoing replication backs up our important servers and VMs; backup is used to back up all our regular VMs and files. The three tier Veeam backup strategies provide us different levels of redundancy, backup and system protection.

Likelihood to Recommend

1. CDP continuous protection is good for critial servers and VMs that don't expect downtime,

2. Replication is good for important services and VMs that you can define interval and RTO,

3. Veeam Backup can back up any files, systems and servers easily at customized configuration.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Veeam to back up VMware and stand-alone clients. We need to have our business-critical devices back online within an hour (RTO) and to have no more than 15 minutes of our past processes lost (RPO). Veeam also allows us to test code by restoring production servers into a test environment and to apply changes without risking our production servers. This is invaluable for accurate and timely fixes and improvements.

I have been a Sysadmin for 3 decades and have used all manner of backup software and systems. I'm now at a place where our needs are not all that great, but my experience with other platforms has allowed the company greater flexibility in restores and, more importantly, in testing and quality assurance of our in-house software. As a small company, we have relatively simple needs, and Veeam has met all of our requirements, so I cannot say that they are deficient in any way.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The district I work for has used Veeam Data Platform for several years to back up all server data. Backups are easily verified and the restore process was easy when the backups were needed. While we have other forms of back up as well Veeam Data Platform is our primary solution.

Likelihood to Recommend

Veeam Data Platform is well suited to performing full and incremental backups of our data.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Veeam Data Platform to back up our server infrastructure to maintain BCDR.

Likelihood to Recommend

Server backups for organizations is the ideal scenario to use Veeam Data Platform in.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Veeam Data Platform for server backups and replications. Also we use it for application based backups and recovery. Active Directory, Exchange, SQL. We backup to on prem NAS devices and also to Immutable Cloud object storage such as Wasabi. We need to be able to recover quickly from multiple backup repositories.

Likelihood to Recommend

In a virtual environment Veeam Data Platform is the premiere go to product for backups and recovery. It seems to be more cumbersome to backup physical servers as more configuration is required.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We work with a large amount of data and its critical that it be backed up with a local copy as well as an offsite copy. Veeam Data Platform allows us to set retention policy’s on our backup jobs without having do much more than click a box and tell how long we want to keep the backups for. We also make use of CDP to an offsite datacenter so in the case of a disaster we can spin up the VM’s there and continue to operate.

Likelihood to Recommend

Veeam Data Platform is a wonder tool for all environments. From physical to virtual to NAS appliances you can backup all devices from within a single interface. Veeam Data Platform is scalable to suit large environments that have very specific needs. With the ability to replicate VM’s across the globe or to backup your data to an immutable vault for security, Veeam Data Platform provides it all.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Using the platform enable us to back up from the various vendors in our environment to one location and have it save in an immutable instance.

Likelihood to Recommend

We have used Veeam Data Platform for recovery in various scenarios. The most common is when we are working on updates and patching of servers. We can be instantly back up and running using Veeam Data Platform. I have yet to experience where Veeam Data Platform wouldn't help us and I have been using it for over 13 years.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently leverage Veeam Data Platform's backup and recovery software to facilitate granular object restores with our Microsoft environment for application such as Active Directory, Exchange, and Windows. The item level restores are intuitive and straight forward. Backups regularly occur smoothly with little to no operating system stunning or end user impact.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great for a wide variety of backup sources. Control on Backup Infrastructure (connections to storage) could be improved to allow for more diverse environments. Replication throttling would be useful on the object level. Centralized updates from VeeamOne would be nice to ensure full compatibility amongst all installations.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Veeam Data Platform to backup our in-house servers, corporate desktops and laptops, and virtualization guests. Veeam Data Platform is also connected to S3-compatible storage where we can replicate on-site backups to immutable cloud storage. The routine backups and notifications have been a huge "life saver" more than once and the backup and restore notifications mean I'm not constantly checking the software interface to see what's happening.

Likelihood to Recommend

Veeam Data Platform has been a perfect solution for our internal backups and minor disaster recovery scenarios. We've had some trouble backing up remote devices and laptops that need to connect over the internet, but the overall experience has been positive. In the few cases where we've needed to contact support, they have been very responsive and knowledgeable.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have been using Veeam for almost 10 years. We use Veeam to write our daily, weekly, monthly backups to an ExaGrid backup appliance.

Likelihood to Recommend

The backups complete and when I need to do a restore, they work.
