What differentiates Veeam Data Platform from other similar products?

I have used different backup products in the past however after using Veeam, it comes on the more expensive find but you find that it is more reliable and you receive less backups failures. You can trust to leave it running an know that if you do require to restore, the backups will be ready and working.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite aspect of the product is the Scale Out Repositories as it gives you the opportunity to use your own cloud storage such as AWS or Azure. I am using AWS and it work like a dream. The SoW's are also good for long term retention now archiving with Veeam 11.

What do you dislike most about this product?

My dislike are the logs and reporting that the product provides. When a backup fails it is not clear at all what the fault is and usually requires a lot of googling or even contacting support to resolve. The product can be very slow and clunky too if it isn't to the right specification.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are considering looking t Veeam as well as other products I would defiantly choose Veeam from experience due to the reliability of the backups. They are easy to setup and understand. I have also found that Veeam support are very helpful when resolving any issues.

Virtual Machine Backup Automatically discovers and protects VMs as they come online, move, and change. Production VMs are replicated to a secondary data store.

Backup Automation Solution automates backup, recovery and remediation tasks using RestAPI and CLI to integrate with 3rd party solutions, reduce cost and enforce standards.

Replication for Long Term Storage and Disaster Recovery Onsite backup data is replicated and stored to a public cloud (AWS, Azure). Can also include restore-to-cloud capabilities for Disaster Recovery as a Service.

Replication for High Availability Beyond secondary copy backup, the solution also manages replication of primary data host-to-host and site-to-site for live failover and high availability.

Deduplication Implementation Deduplication of redundant data blocks is implemented by the solution. Deduplication can be at source, target, or globally (source and target).

File Explorer Granular Restore Individual files can be located and restored from backup media without the need for full system mounting and restore.

Backup Monitoring and Reporting Backup and replication are continually monitored for status and effectiveness. Detailed reporting is available on successful and unsuccessful operations.

Physical Backup for Multiple Platforms Backs up data and system info for non-virtualized systems. Primarily Windows and Linux servers but also, potentially, AIX, Unix and others.

Integration With Storage Arrays Integrates with APIs from major storage vendors (NetApp, HP, Dell EMC) to leverage capabilities in these arrays such as data snapshots and replication.

Automated Backup Testing and Verification Goes beyond monitoring whether backup jobs completed by verifying the integrity of data restoration.
