Ease of use, performance, availability, and scalability
The initial setup is very easy, user-friendly, and not complex. It mostly comes with all installed, an operating system, database, and security, all included in Power Systems. So users can easily install, configure, and use it. It's integrated with other systems. You can run different systems from IBM Power Systems, AIX Linux, or IBM I operating system. It's also integrated into Windows systems and other databases and servers.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection
Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

"This solution is very stable and reliable."
"One of the most valuable features is the integration. Another good feature is the instant recovery."
"We wanted the best software in the market and the best software for what we needed is Veeam Backup Replication."
"The direct SAN backup feature perfectly integrates with our 3PAR storage infrastructure."
"The replication is the most valuable feature for us."
"I would recommend the solution to others for its ease-of-use."
"Veeam One is a centralized management and centralized reporting tool. The tool has supportive infrastructure to create specialised applications and some server application. You can add all the resources and infrastructure. You will get the reports, can easily manage and monitor any feature."
"One valuable feature of Veeam ONE for backup management is its dashboard, which offers a comprehensive view of backups and other essential data."
 

Cons

"Stability could always be better."
"Disaster Recovery Services could provide better value for money."
"The infrastructure level of IBM's recovery systems could be improved."
"For now we’re pretty happy, but we’d like the ability to schedule."
"Technical Support: It's poor for certain issues (with the Veeam One product, the guys did not talk together and asked the same question several times)."
"Device backup could be improved."
"In the future, Veeam should release a hardware backup appliance that can be integrated with their software."
"It would be beneficial to have enhanced solutions for database backup, particularly for Oracle databases in the context of SAP systems."
"The database backup process could be improved. It would be beneficial to enhance this feature and also consider the addition of a web interface to increase accessibility."
"The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."
"Standard version is poor - As you need to power Off/On virtual machines when backing up/Restoring where Enterprise edition you don't - If you have a big estate to manage stay away from Standard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Disaster Recovery Services is expensive."
"The pricing of the solution is based on the scale of the project or business. It's based on the server amount and the amount of data being stored. For our client, based on the amount of data they have, it may be around $20,000 USD. It could get much more expensive on the customer side."
"It is an affordable solution."
"This is an expensive solution and came at a higher cost than expected."
"I would say that the product is fairly priced."
"The pricing and licensing is better than the competitors, but it could be better."
"It's expensive and costs about 4000 a year."
"This solution requires a license and the organizations I was involved in were using an enterprise license."
"The product is inexpensive."
"Our licensing cost is $200 a year."
