Veeam Data Platform alternative: Tenvara

Veeam Data Platform (Veeam Backup and Replication at its core) protects virtual machines, physical servers, cloud and SaaS workloads, and MSPs run it across customers with Veeam Service Provider Console. It is deep and widely used. MSPs look at Tenvara when they want everyday backup of servers, PCs and Microsoft 365 inside the same app as their tickets and devices, without running a separate backup estate.

What Veeam Data Platform does

Backup and recovery for virtual, physical, cloud and SaaS workloads, with a console for service providers. Made by Veeam Software. This is how the vendor describes it, in our words.

  • Protects VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox and many other hypervisors, plus physical Windows, Linux and Mac machines.
  • Instant recovery of workloads, and SureBackup to check restore points automatically.
  • Hardened repositories for immutable backups, and malware scanning of backups before recovery.
  • Backup of cloud workloads in AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, and of Microsoft 365, Entra ID and Salesforce.
  • Veeam Service Provider Console gives MSPs multi-tenant monitoring, agent deployment, customer portals and licence reporting.
