If you don't use it, you should. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eric R. | IT Manager, Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 13, 2025 **What do you like best about Veeam Data Platform?** I can confidently know my RTO can be met using instant recovery features. The flexibility of platforms, authentication methods, & security-minded approach to backup are really unparralleled. I've used many back up platforms over 25 years of my career. Veeam is the only one I trust. The ease of use an intuitive nature of the GUI are all best in class in my opinion. Veeam is the 800 lb gorilla to beat in the industry. I pull backups almost constantly and my Veeam server is the hardest working server on my network. Implementation is easy, pushing and updating clients is easy. The Linux client actually works very well compared to others. I also use Veeam to back up my cloud environments, the ease of integration with cloud platforms is just as easy as everything else you can do in Veeam. **What do you dislike about Veeam Data Platform?** I have really don't have any problems. If I do their customer support has gotten me fixed quickly. **What problems is Veeam Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** In IT we are always pressed for time. The ability to recover files, volumes, or even whole servers can take literally minutes instead of hours to recover. Veeam will also allow us to implement a future top of class DR warm environment. ### 5. New to Veeam Data Cloud - Use Veeam's Onboarding Team **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ronny S. | Senior Manager, Infrastructure, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2025 **What do you like best about Veeam Data Platform?** Veeam Data Cloud was extremely simple to set up and use. However, I highly recommend taking the time to meet with the onboarding support team. Their guidance can be invaluable in ensuring you get the most out of the platform. One key takeaway from our onboarding experience was the difference between fixed and dynamic licensing. We initially started with fixed licensing but quickly realized that dynamic licensing provided significantly more flexibility. With a quick email, our onboarding specialist switched us to dynamic licensing, which offers several advantages: It allows you to exceed your allocated licenses temporarily and true up later. It is the only way to ensure new users are automatically backed up. With the fixed licensing model, new users must be added manually, which can become cumbersome as your organization grows. So far, our test restores have worked well, reinforcing our confidence in the platform’s reliability. We migrated to Veeam from another cloud backup provider, primarily due to pricing and familiarity. Veeam’s pricing is more competitive, and since we already use Veeam Backup & Replication, transitioning was seamless. Given our positive experience with Veeam’s support in the past, we expect the same high level of service with Veeam Data Cloud. **What do you dislike about Veeam Data Platform?** One minor drawback is that the interface can sometimes feel a bit slow, particularly when accessing restores. This is understandable given the sheer volume of data being processed—searching through 250 mailboxes for an item will naturally take some time. If this were a local install with local storage, I’d expect similar delays when working with large datasets. **What problems is Veeam Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed a reliable solution to back up our Microsoft 365 environment, including Exchange Online, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint. These services are critical to our business operations, and under Microsoft’s shared responsibility model, it’s up to us to ensure our data is protected. ### 6. Veeam is a versatile software suite - a must for any virtualization platform! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alexandre B. | System Administrator III, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 25, 2025 **What do you like best about Veeam Data Platform?** What I like most about the Veeam Data Platform suite is how versatile it is, beyond just backups, it can also help us to P2V conversions, disaster-recovery replication and orchestration, bare metal backup restores, V2V conversions (i.e. VMware to Hyper-V migrations, or on-prem to cloud) **What do you dislike about Veeam Data Platform?** For companies with a large number of virtual machines, the phasing out of per CPU socket licensing in favor of per VM pricing has significantly increased the cost of ongoing ownership of the product. **What problems is Veeam Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** The most practical features are included with the basic Veeam license (Essentials/Foundations), it's versatility beyond the mere scheduled backup functionality, i.e. doing P2V, V2V, V2C migrations, makes it a very powerful tool, and replaces the need for additional products to do those tasks. ### 7. Good, Smooth, and Easy to use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bradley B. | Cyber Security Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 25, 2025 **What do you like best about Veeam Data Platform?** The Veeam data plantform has been a very efficient system when it comes to restoring VM's for us in a HyperV environment. We have never had any issues with the data being there one we have triggered a restore. **What do you dislike about Veeam Data Platform?** The UI isn't always the clearest, it can sometimes take a little poking around to try to figure out where everything is when you need to do a restore. Make sure you take the time to document the steps before you are in a data restore incident. **What problems is Veeam Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** Veeam handles our data backup, backup up our multiple physical hosts and Virtual Machines. We have a very heavy Hyper-V user so it's great that Veeam works so well with Hyper-V Backups. ### 8. Cheap and technical backup product, which shows when deployed at scale **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dave P. | Senior Technician, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2025 **What do you like best about Veeam Data Platform?** As product utilises S3 Cloud storage, which we can purchase considerably cheaper in blocks than providers can offer, it reduced backup costs by a large margin. This also allowed us much more involvement in set-up of said storage, location for offsite backups, local backup storage targets etc. etc. **What do you dislike about Veeam Data Platform?** The Cloud management console proved to be less than accurate, with failures reported for working backups, failing backups not reporting in, missing schedules, agents offline and no warnings, etc. **What problems is Veeam Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** On-prem physical and virtual server backup provision. Much more involved product than the majority we've tried, but this also means the onus is on you as not only the provider, but also the data/storage controller. ### 9. Veeam has worked flawlessly with just a few issues. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matt M. | Engineering manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 04, 2025 **What do you like best about Veeam Data Platform?** It is very easy to setup and use. The jobs can be scheduled and in case of a disaster you can recover a vm in a just a few minutes. **What do you dislike about Veeam Data Platform?** I have had to call support a few times. In the earlier builds updating was horrible. It never completed correctly and support was required each time. I setup a new vm just for the veeam backup server. It ran about a year without issues until one day it started failing all of my backups. The issue was fixed by support but took several days. **What problems is Veeam Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** For the most part it works flawlessly. The scheduling makes it hands off which is great for me. I just check it every Monday to make sure the backups ran. I will be notified by email if something happens through out the week. ### 10. Reference software for backups **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mauro R. | IT Administrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2025 **What do you like best about Veeam Data Platform?** My favorite is Veeam Data Platform, which offers a simple job creation process. It offers several very powerful features: full backup, synthetic backup, incremental backup, DD-Boost protocol and dedicated external repository. You can create multiple backup chains, set notifications. **What do you dislike about Veeam Data Platform?** I don't find anything that doesn't satisfy me. I find the software complete. **What problems is Veeam Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** the ability to create a secure backup for my company, both locally and on external repositories. The ease with which I can restore VMs or recover individual files. **Official Response from Abigail Turner:** > We’re delighted you had such a positive experience. Your trust means a lot to us, and we’ll keep working hard to deliver excellent service and support. ### 11. Really Like Ease of Use **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Laura T. | Server Administrator, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 07, 2023 **What do you like best about Veeam Data Platform?** Very easy to use the backup and replication console to backup and recover data/servers. Use it on a regular basis to restore files deleted by users. Their customer support has been great. Quick response time and very helpful. Easy to install. **What do you dislike about Veeam Data Platform?** User friendly, however the software used to stop working every so often and require a reinstall but that has not happened in the last year at the very least so an update must have fixed that. Really no dislikes that I can think of, works well in my environment. **What problems is Veeam Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** Makes recovering servers and data easier. We don't have to completely rebuild a server from scratch when something goes wrong. Makes it easier when we upgrade and have to transfer data. Has really saved us work this past year when we had to recover a couple of servers. ### 12.

Maybe in the snapshot description there can be more detail on why and which backup created the snapshot. **What problems is Veeam Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** Peace of mind. All of our VMs are backup up locally and on the cloud with proven recovery options. **Official Response from Abigail Turner:** > Thank you for your review! We’re proud that Veeam gives you the peace of mind to focus on what matters most. ### 15. Veeam- The Industry Standard for Backup Solutions **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brody C. | IT Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2025 **What do you like best about Veeam Data Platform?** I love how robust Veeam is for backing up a wide range of operating systems, and being able to manage them from a single location. Even utilizing cloud storage like Wasabi is seemless to setup in Veeam, which makes it easy for us to manage all backups. **What do you dislike about Veeam Data Platform?** I don't really have any negative things to say about Veeam. It is a superior backup software compared to other options, such as Acronis. I don't think I would ever decide to use a different solution other than Veeam after how positive my experience has been the past 5 years. **What problems is Veeam Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** Veeam Data Platform is our solution to disaster recovery. With Veeam having a strong service of restoring servers, files, etc, we have a sense of safety knowing we have something to fall back on. ### 16. Great Backup software **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stephen P. | Network Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 13, 2025 **What do you like best about Veeam Data Platform?** Most importantly, when the backup works, you know the restore will work. That can be a restore of an entire VM or down to a file or folder. I have done both and every time I had to do a restore I know it will work. That is what Backups are meant for, to be restored. **What do you dislike about Veeam Data Platform?** The upgrade process has been awful the last two times I migrated to the newwest version of Veeam. When I do my next upgrade, I am hoping this time it will work without me having to pen a ticket with Tech Support. **What problems is Veeam Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** When a disater happens, if you have a backup file. knowing that it will work, is worth the price of paying for Veeam. ### 17. veeam data platform is great tool for data backups and resiliency **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** praveen kumar p. | platform engineer., Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 08, 2025 **What do you like best about Veeam Data Platform?** Simple tool which has scale, security, simple use backup, recovery, replication, data protection, data migration, data tiering **What do you dislike about Veeam Data Platform?** i see most of the features are user friendly but not educated to user properly. **What problems is Veeam Data Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** Backup data tiering, fully native, aged data moves to respective tier without doing multiple jobs. ### 18.
