Veeam Data Platform Reviews & Product Details

I really like how reliable and comprehensive Veeam Data Platform is when it comes to backup and recovery. The platform gives me confidence that my data is protected, whether it’s on-prem, virtualized, or in the cloud. The backup and restore processes are fast, granular, and dependable, which is critical in a production environment. I also appreciate the wide range of features, especially instant recovery, replication, and monitoring, all available from a single platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that the initial setup and licensing model can be a bit complex, especially for new users or smaller environments. Some advanced features require time and experience to fully understand and configure correctly. Additionally, the platform can be resource-intensive, so it needs proper planning to ensure optimal performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Veeam Data Platform for backup, replication, and monitoring with Veeam One. I love how it simplified the process of backup and replication due to its easy integration with hypervisors and applications. The continuous replication solution for disaster recovery orchestration is a plus. I find the Veeam AI, the sandbox, and the instant recovery features particularly useful. It's great that I can try the restore before implementing it in the production environment. The ease of use and the wide open community were the main reasons for switching from IBM Spectrum Protect. The initial setup was very easy, just a next, next wizard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it limiting that not all features of Sangfor ASV are supported compared to VMware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the simplicity of the assistant for generating and scheduling my tasks, which saves me time and clarifies my needs, such as having an immutable backup in S3. Additionally, the integration and validation of my backups with devices like QNAP or NAS is very useful because everything is integrated. The transition was a clean implementation and it was great. Following the requirements for the installation was a piece of cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it only works on Windows, I believe creating a web console would help to access it on another machine or via VPN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the reliability it offers in data protection. The platform is robust and allows for automatic backups without complications. Additionally, the speed of information recovery is impressive, which provides a lot of security in case of incidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, it can be complex to understand all the functions if you don't have experience with backup solutions. Also, some advanced features require additional licenses, which increases the total cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that Veeam Data Platform works on multiple devices and platforms without a problem. It allows us to use one single vendor for our backup solutions on both Linux and Windows Server, which was not possible before. Adding Linux servers is really easy, you just select it in the dropdown and it gets added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had problems with backing up Linux databases that have constant traffic. It was having problems getting them to actually complete. This is being done on VMware, so there was a question of whether the issue was with VMware or Veeam, but it was still a concern of ours and something we were having to work through.

I appreciate the unified protection for all workloads with Veeam Data Platform, meaning no siloed tools are needed. I also like the simplified management with a single dashboard that lets me monitor backup status, set policies, and trigger restores across all workloads. This is especially beneficial for MSPs as it allows managing client environments at scale without the need to switch between consoles. Furthermore, I enjoy the flexibility to back up a physical server and restore it as a VM in the cloud or replicate a cloud VM to an on-prem data center with just a few clicks, which is crucial for disaster recovery and cloud migration projects. Also, the initial setup is relatively simple and convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the complexity and opacity of the licensing. Even though VUL simplifies cross-workload licensing, it still lacks transparent usage reporting and granular cost allocation for multi-tenant MSP environments. This can lead to overprovisioning or unexpected bills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it offers a complete solution for backup and recovery without complications. The interface is clear and tasks are set up quickly. Additionally, the restoration speed is excellent, which provides a lot of peace of mind in case of incidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial learning curve can be a bit steep if you don't have experience with backup solutions. Also, some advanced features require additional licenses, which can increase the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Veeam Data Platform is very easy to use and the integration process is fast. The support is also very responsive 24/7. It's really important to me that when restoring critical data, it’s done easily and quickly, and with Veeam Data Platform, I feel confident that complicated processes won't get in the way of having a helpful backup solution. The initial setup was super easy, taking maybe just one week, which was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We don't use the orchestrator as we have already another solution for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Veeam Data Platform extraordinarily reliable, which is very reassuring. I also appreciate the notifications we get and the ability to generate reports for audits that clearly show what's being done and completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that doesn't work as well for us is that I always have wished that there was an appliance rather than a warning on a Windows host. Just because of the unreliability of Windows. However, as long as you keep your Windows up to date, it runs rock solid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Veeam Data Platform the most because it provides fast recovery and strong ransomware protection with immutable backups. The simple, centralized management keeps all backups reliable and easy to restore. Integrating Veeam with VMware and Active Directory makes backup faster, more flexible, and easier to manage. The console is so simple, and the configuration steps are clear and easy, with everything integrating smoothly without much complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Veeam Platform could improve by making large scale backups and restore faster and simplifying some of the configuration steps specially in complex environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
