Overview
Choice depends on skillset, multi-cloud footprint, and RTO/RPO—not religion.
Vendor-native fits when
Single cloud, simple VMs, limited cross-platform needs, strong existing cloud skills.
Veeam (or similar) fits when
Hybrid, heavy VMware/Hyper-V, cross-cloud replication, unified console for technicians.
Commercial
TCO over 5 years includes labor hours for restores and training—not license list price only.
Decision artifact
Matrix: restore time last quarter drills, FTE hours, support renewals, exit clauses.
