Excellent for aggregation of logs and centralizing the view of different tools
Pros and Cons
  • "Veeam ONE effectively centralizes the view of different tools."
  • "It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is to centralize the view of different tools, specifically the vCenter and Veeam Backup and Replication.

How has it helped my organization?

At our organization, the main goal for using Veeam ONE is to generate reports on the backups that we perform with our other solutions.

What is most valuable?

The aggregation of logs is the most valuable feature.

What needs improvement?

Although the reporting tool is working well and does not require any additional features, there is still room for improvement in the UI. It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Veeam ONE for a year. I am using version eleven of the solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of Veeam ONE depends on the capabilities of the server it is installed on. I would rate its scalability as 8 out of 10.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I would rate it 10 out of 10 because it is free with the license that our organization has already purchased.

What other advice do I have?

It's important to ensure that the targets they want to monitor are supported by the solution. It is a crucial consideration that needs to be taken into account before implementing Veeam ONE.

Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten.

    Veeam ONE is being used to monitor our backup and VM servers.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Veeam ONE for eight years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The stability of Veeam ONE is good.

    Excellent technical support, easy to set up, and very reliable
    Pros and Cons
    • "It's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far."
    • "We're using both Backup and Replication, Veeam Cloud Connect, and Veeam Office 365. What I am missing is a good graphical user interface between these three products."

    What is our primary use case?

    We have, I'd say, about 20 different customers running Veeam and sending backups to our hosting center. We also have our own hosting environment with about 200 servers, which we are backing up with Veeam Backup and Replication.

    What is most valuable?

    The solution is stable and absolutely reliable. 

    It's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far.

    I've found that the scalability is fine.

    The initial setup is pretty simple. 

    What needs improvement?

    We're using both Backup and Replication, Veeam Cloud Connect, and Veeam Office 365. What I am missing is a good graphical user interface between these three products. It's something that they need to figure out. I'd like the three versions streamlined so they fit together better, as, right now, they are very different.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    We've been selling the solution for three or four years or something like that.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The solution is reliable and the performance is good. We find it to be stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Scalability is possible with this solution. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

    We have 50 customers that pay for this solution right now.

    How are customer service and support?

    Technical support is helpful and responsive. they are very knowledgeable and friendly. We are very satisfied with the level of support on offer. They really try their best to resolve issues.

    How was the initial setup?

    The solution is simple and straightforward. 

    I cannot recall how long it took to actually deploy the product.

    We have three managers that can handle the deployment and maintenance aspects of the product.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    We pay for licensing and have a monthly subscription.

    What other advice do I have?

    We are a reseller.

    I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

    Multiple functions, simple to use and install, and well-documented
    Pros and Cons
    • "I'm pleased with the ability to search for documents; it's very useful."
    • "Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved."

    What is our primary use case?

    This solution is used to backup, restore, and replicate our data.

    What is most valuable?

    It's an easy-to-use tool with multiple functions.

    The replication is easy.

    It provides good findability of the missing documents.

    I'm pleased with the ability to search for documents; it's very useful.

    There is a lot of documentation available online. The Veeam forum is a great place to start because it contains a great deal of information.

    What needs improvement?

    Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved.

    I like the idea of a web-based version or a web console. That is the top priority for us.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    We have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for more than five years.

    We are working with the latest version.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Some features are missing, such as web-based versions. 

    I only have the software on the machine, and I must log in to use the software. There are some features that are missing in terms of stability.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Scalability needs to be improved.

    In our organization, I am the only user from the IT department.

    How are customer service and support?

    I contacted technical support in the middle of last year. There was an issue with our Veeam account that was resolved in a matter of days.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is straightforward. 

    It is just a small installer. That was all there was to it, we just needed to fill in some options.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The licensing cost needs improvement.

    We have a yearly perpetual license. 

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    I was comparing Veeam to Dell DPS, and I was looking for information on products other than Veeam or Dell but were somewhere in between.

    What other advice do I have?

    My advice is to determine whether the version they have is the correct one that they require, as Veeam has three different versions. As a result, you must determine which version is appropriate for your organization. That is a mistake that we have made in the past.

    I would rate Veeam Backup & Replication an eight out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Has simplified administration, simple installation, and a simple interface
    Pros and Cons
    • "The initial setup for a simple environment is very easy. We just do next, next, next, next for the installation. It can be complicated in a complicated environment. It can be simple for a simple environment. I enjoy installing it. It has a lot of features."
    • "I have a problem with the VM. When we started doing a backup, it takes a snapshot for our virtual machines, but when we try it two or three times, in some cases, our virtual machines go to a consolidated state. I don't know why this problem happens. But I still think Veeam is a top-ranking solution."

    What is our primary use case?

    In most cases, we use Veeam Backup Replication for backup and recovery. In some literal cases, we use it for replication and statics.

    What needs improvement?

    I have a problem with the VM. When we started doing a backup, it takes a snapshot for our virtual machines, but when we try it two or three times, in some cases, our virtual machines go to a consolidated state. I don't know why this problem happens. But I still think Veeam is a top-ranking solution.

    I don't know why this VM problem happens. Sometimes, I think it's because of our environments and performance. I have a little bit of a performance problem when VMs back up. I don't think it's optimized in our environment because of that. 

    It doesn't have any reporting in it. The reporting and GUI interface can be improved. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Veeam for three to four years. 

    How are customer service and technical support?

    We don't have support in my country because of sanctions. 

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup for a simple environment is very easy. We just do next, next, next, next for the installation. It can be complicated in a complicated environment. It can be simple for a simple environment. I enjoy installing it. It has a lot of features. 

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    It's very expensive. 

    What other advice do I have?

    It's important that the IT staff had training for VMs. There are many webinars and training courses. My staff doesn't think there is much of a need for training. They just do next, next, next.

    I would rate Veeam Backup Replication an eight out of ten. It's the best. It has simplified administration, simple installation, and a simple interface.

    I would recommend Veeam Backup Replication. It's good for our virtualization environments.

    We were using Symantec Backup Exec 2010. We moved away from it in favor of being able to perform total VM backups.

    What is most valuable?

    Ease of VM and File Restores. The ability to restore an entire VM and guest OS files is invaluable.

    How has it helped my organization?

    We have been able to move away from file-based backups, and now have total VMs protected.

    What needs improvement?

    I'd like to see more vendors added for the new array-based backup platform. More IT shops will be able to take advantage of this new backup technology. Using the native VADP snapshot functionality can stress out the VMware kernel.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been using it for four years.

    What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

    It was mostly a smooth transition, but I would caution against using Veeam to back up a SQL 2000 database though, if anyone still has SQL 2000 databases in production. SQL 2000 databases do not acquiesce when snapshots are taken, and the entire SQL database can become corrupted. The SQL 2000 VM must be powered off before the VM backup. I learned that the hard way.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    There have been no performance issues.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    It's been able to scale for our needs.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    We were using Symantec Backup Exec 2010. We moved away from it in favor of being able to perform total VM backups.

    How was the initial setup?

    It was very straightforward, no issues.

    What about the implementation team?

    It was done in-house with assistance from our network engineer. It is important to have use a SQL database version for Veeam that matches your production SQL database version.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    I would advise you to buy the service contract, as you will get all the version updates for free, which can save money in the long run.

    What other advice do I have?

    We have not implemented the array-based functionality as of yet. We elected to install a 10 Gb NIC for the main back up pipeline. The new 10 Gb connection has increased backup performance by 20%, and I believe the array-based platform has seen 40% performance increases. We are backing up to SATA drives, so we are trying the 10 Gb route first. If we decide to backup to an all flash array, then maybe the array-based platform will be considered.
