We performed a comparison between Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam Data Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The setup was straightforward Veeam Backup Replication. NetBackup is a larger solution and takes more time to implement but Veeam Backup Replication takes approximately 40 days."
"The encryption password is used to protect the backup files. Even if someone gains access to the backup job or files, they won't be able to utilize them without the password."
"Most of the features that we can use with HPE products are directly integrated with the Veeam. This is very important for the customers to have only one pane of glass to manage the backups and also use the HPE products for the backups."
"I have found the backup call feature very good."
"I consider the solution's technical support to be excellent, perfect."
"A simple and stable solution for small businesses that use virtualization."
"The backup and replication features of this solution are most valuable."
"It helps with process restoration. With Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"The most valuable aspect is its reliability in recovering any replaceable data in the event of server issues in a production environment."
"The solution's interface, GUI (graphical user interface), and backup are good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of deployment, its many interesting functions, and its good performance for both backup and restoration."
"The tool is fast and trustworthy."
"The platform has a useful disaster recovery feature."
"Veeam Data Platform manages and protects data across multiple cloud environments amazingly."
"The most valuable addition recently introduced is the Continuous Data Protection feature."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its backup feature."
"The virtual sandboxes seem complex to setup, so I have not invested time in leveraging this feature. It would be nice if this feature was more user-friendly."
"The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate."
"The integration with other solutions should be improved."
"Margins should not be distinct; instead, they should seamlessly integrate with the Veeam Backup and Replication tools, requiring minimal separation."
"Sometimes Veeam is not that effective when it comes to legacy environments."
"The replication functionality only works for VMware environments. Veeam has a backup agent for AIX operating systems, and we will like to see the replication functionality available for the AIX operating system. Additionally, if the backup functionality for AIX to be included in the Veeam console would be an advantage."
"I would like for them to develop the ability to fix the way it does backups. We can't pick a backup for one database. We have to do a backup on the whole Exchange VM. I'd like for them to change it to where we can do individual backups."
"Physical backup is always where room for improvement could be but Veeam has always stated they are not going in that direction."
"SureBackup is sometimes a bit difficult to use."
"They could offer a hardware appliance as a comprehensive, full-stack solution."
"Veeam does image-based backups, whether it be of virtual machines or physical workloads, and they are able to back up general applications like Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. Sometimes, even Oracle and SAP. But still, there are many customers using other types of databases that Veeam does not natively support. For example, in the Linux area, MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported, but with many limitations. Like, if a customer is running a Postgres cluster, Veeam does not support that."
"Regarding managing LQ or Liberty delivery, there was no system initially; it was solely for backing up Vista Disc. I suggested enhancing this option. However, my experience with Dibree was unsatisfactory. I recommended adding Azure for EBMI XPower backup and incorporating SolarWinds for end-of-month risk processes, which were not part of the initial solution."
"The cost of the product is an area that would prevent me from using it in the future."
"The product's pricing is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's pricing may be expensive compared to other products."
"Since the solution has many options, it is not easier to give tasks to schedule it."
