Veeam Data Platform Reviews

I can do a backup of an entire VM or just guest files.

The safety and reliability of data loss and retrieval has been amazing ever since we implemented Veeam.

It would be nice to be able to backup data to two locations.

I've used it for five years.

Nothing serious.

Nothing.

No issues encountered.

Not for virtual machines. I've used Symantec Backup Exec.

It was straightforward.

We implemented it in-house.

It's 100%.

It cost $1200 for the initial setup and then $70 per hour in the case of a restore.

We also looked at Carbonite.

Choose the proper solution. Install the 30 day trial version and if it's for you, then purchase it.

The replication features and data recovery technology.

We were able to turn the data recovery process over to technicians instead of allowing only engineers to recover customer data. Another big bonus, is that the data recovery process was fairly simple and fast.

Cost. At the time this was one of the most expensive backup software available. Compared to StorageCraft that was more than half the cost for a virtual machine agent.

I did trying to get the initial backups to run on for a SQL Server. It was stopping a service for some odd reason when trying to run the backup. Also had some speed issues due to running multiple jobs at once.

Not really. Just your typical growing pains of a new technology.

The cost of adding additional sockets. It was a lot more than just purchasing an additional agent like you would for Backup Exec or StorageCraft.

The customer service with Veeam is great. One of the best I have ever had to deal with.

The technical support is great. I have had to turn to them a few times for some very complex issues. They were very patient and knowledgeable.

Previously my customers were using tapes and Backup Exec. Tapes are just a disaster waiting to happen, and backup exec did not provide an image based backup solution.

The setup for me was pretty straight forward. Install the software on a dedicated server, configure the jobs and leave it alone.

This solution was setup in house. We did not use a vendor to configure it, since my company acted as an IT provider for the company we were implementing it for.

Varied by client and their infrastructure needs.

Yes. Storage Craft, Datto, UniTrends

The most valuable features of Veeam ONE are the backup reports, such as the status of the storage.

The solution could improve the performance. We are not able to check the status of any system. Additionally, if there was an option to monitor server clusters it would be helpful.

I have been using Veeam ONE for approximately six months.

I rate the stability of Veeam ONE an eight out of ten.

We have ten engineers that are using this solution.

I rate the scalability of Veeam ONE a seven out of ten.

I contacted support when we had issues. However, the response time could improve.

I previously used SolarWinds and they had better support that was more knowledgeable and responsive.

The setup process is simple. It is user-friendly.

The price of the solution is high.

I rate the price of Veeam ONE a two out of ten.

I rate Veeam ONE a seven out of ten.

We replicate data between servers on our site and we back up to external media, which we take offsite.

It really helps secure our data.

It does a pretty good job of what we ask it to. What I find most valuable is probably the virtual machine backup. I can really trust those copies.

Their licensing model could use some improvement. In the version we're using, they license per core and up to six cores, so you can't use the one for small business anymore. You have to upgrade to the enterprise carry-on, it's a bit ridiculous.

I'd like to see more flexible licensing or to be consumed as a service.

I've been using this solution for five years now. 

It's very stable. 

It is very scalable. Just my only issue is from a licensing perspective. If you want to add more servers, they push you up into a much more expensive licensing tier. Technically it's very scalable; financially, it's not that scalable.

The product is so good that I haven't had to call support. 

In the global scheme of things, it's pretty inexpensive software as far as what we spend per year. If you factor in hardware and all sorts of other things, it's probably a good value for your money.

There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fee per year. It's pretty straightforward. 

i give this solution a nine out of ten. I think it's a good product for small to medium businesses. It serves our needs. Unless your needs are very particular, it probably covers most use cases.

Our primary use case is to back everything up.

The features that I have found most valuable are its back up and recovery. It is a simplified backup because you can do both databases - VM and HyperV. It is a faster backup than the conventional methods because it takes up the bare metal.

In terms of what could be improved, I would say the manageability but not that much else.

In the next release I would like to see a bit more intelligence as far as a solution or troubleshooting - to put it more on the level of resolution and not simply identifying there is a problem.

I have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for a few years.

Veeam Backup & Replication is pretty stable. It has the odd problems here and there, but they are mostly due to snapshot running or things like that.

Veeam Backup & Replication is very scalable.

There are two administrators maintaining it.

In terms of increased usage, all future servers will be running Audit. We don't plan on changing for another one.

Technical support is pretty good. They have a fast response.

The last solution we used was Commvault and we were not satisfied with the results with the backup time, but that was more than 10 years ago.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

I'm not the one who installed initially, so I couldn't say for the implementation, but adding any products is very straightforward.

Our license is yearly, but I don't know the cost.

We did brief surveys of other solutions, but Veeam seemed to correspond with our virtual needs because 85% of our servers are virtual.

I am very satisfied with Veeam Backup & Replication.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Veeam Backup & Replication an eight point five because it solves our problems but it's not perfect, but more than good enough.

I primarily use Veeam Backup for VMware backups—I have one physical agent—and replications to SAN. I use it to copy backups to the cloud, as well as for tape backups. I also use it for restoring Azure backups and replicas to ensure that backup is successful. 

This solution is deployed on-premises, and we are currently using the latest update. 

One of the most valuable features is the integration. Another good feature is the instant recovery. 

I think that Veeam could improve some performance issues when the backup itself is restored. I'm also using HPE StoreOnce, which has deduplication, and when I'm trying to test or run backups, it takes a lot of time. I think they could improve the testing for backup copies. 

I have been using Veeam Backup for more than five years. 

This solution is very stable and reliable. I didn't face any issues with Veeam Backup Replication itself—the whole issue was related to issues with the operating system. 

This solution is easy to scale. 

I have contacted Veeam technical support a few times and was satisfied with the support. I contacted them regarding issues related to the backup copy to cloud and they helped to fix the problem. 

The installation was straightforward and we handled it locally. 

We have one admin using this application and two IT members working as alternative administrators for any issues if the main admin is not available. So we have a team of three handling maintenance. 

We implemented this solution through an in-house team. 

The pricing is on the higher side, so I think they have to think about the price. It's a stable product and there was no requirement to keep in touch with the support team, so the renewal license was too expensive. 

I rate this solution a ten out of ten, and I would definitely recommend this solution to others. 

As a manager, I find Veeam One's reporting service to be very helpful. 

I've never considered what improvements Veeam needs, and I haven't asked our customers if there is any room for improvement. As the manager, I only see the reports. From my side, it's more than enough for me.

I've used Veeam One for about three or four years.

Veeam's stability meets our expectations.

We are a small firm, so we don't use Veeam One ourselves, but it's a scalable solution for our customers. We've deployed it on a large scale. The biggest company had around 3,000 employees.

As a partner, we get Veeam for free through a network service license.

I rate Veeam One 10 out of 10.

We are using Veeam Backup Replication for our virtual environments.

The solution protects our system environment which has helped the company.

The most valuable feature is the ease of use.

Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having better integration with the cloud. Additionally, they do not have direct integration to S3 or Azure storage for the backups of the VMs. This feature would be beneficial because we have to go through the scalable repository which I do not like. 

I have been using Veeam Backup Replication for approximately seven years.

Veeam Backup & Replication is stable.

I have found Veeam Backup & Replication scalable. However, you might need to expand your infrastructure. 

The technical support is good.

The installation is straightforward.

The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is reasonable compared to IBM.

If you have virtual environments or databases, Veeam Backup Replication is a good solution. I would recommend it to others.

I rate Veeam Backup & Replication a nine out of ten.
