Veeam Data Platform Reviews

• Ease of use
• Reporting
• Great integration with vCenter
• Dedupe abilities
• No tape

It helps us to restore and backup our data, along with ease of use.

Archive to tape could be better, but the new version might do this, and generally it’s a great product. The landing disk cliff shares could be improved. I don’t believe that it supports it at this time. If you use the edit job function you can’t sort by VM product.

We have been using the solution for about two years.

No issues encountered.

It seems to be quite stable, no issues there.

No issues with scalability, and it seems to scale reasonably well.

We haven't had to use it yet.

We haven't had to use it yet.

We used various backup solutions including NetBackup.

It was easy.

We did it in-house.

I don't know, but we do like it.

Software can always be cheaper, but it's not prohibitively expensive. Veeam seems reasonable for what you get.

We looked at a bunch of stuff, we thought it had the best integration with VMware. Lots of people liked it, and we rely heavily on peer reviews, as well as talking to colleagues and other people we know.

I would advise you to buy it.

The ease of use is valuable.

I've been an end user and deployer of this software as a consultant. It's easy to implement, and easy to spot any issues and resolve them. It slots in great with other virtualization products.

Not sure, but maybe the weakest area is around integration with tape libraries at times.

I've used it for over six years.

No issues encountered.

They have some of the best vendor support around. You can get through to an actual engineer who can help you rather than them saying "can you log it with us, send us some logs" and "we need to escalate it" like many do.

We previously used BackUp Exec.

It was straightforward.

We implemented it in-house.

Time is no longer wasted looking at continual backup failures.

Speak to your preferred VAR, and wait until the ends of quarters for some great deals.

• BackupExec
• ArcServe

Read the online documentation as it's easy to follow, watch the videos of the features, and, yes, it's really that easy to use.

The backup and blocklevel incremental backup, where daily full backups are done. Also the hotcopy feature is valuable.

It's been an overall improvement many places at our client sites where almost everyone runs vm's or Hyper-V.

Nothing in particular, Veeam launches like a rocket and delves into the featurelist of VMware, for example, and tie their development close together with the devs coming from VMware or Microsoft.

Since early 2008 when Veeam entered the scene.

Never had any issues that couldn’t be dealt with from an admin pov.

Its running rock steady, so there isn’t any issues in my/our end.

It scales 100% its just a matter of licenses pr cpu, so as long as your compliant it runs like it should.

Rating in level from 1-10 where 10 is the best i would rate it 10.

Yes used many different solutions, but no one were as great as Veeam when talking virtual backups.

Yes more or less, its been improved over the years and now version 8 is ready and even more potent.

We are an IT consultancy business doing implemetations ourself, so 100% done by us at N2IT.

ROI is compared to for example running CommVault returned many times, this is due to the flexibility ion license models etc. And also in terms of space utilization. Veeam does full daily backups with whats called synthetic backup streams of some sort, it takes all block changes and stream those into the latest backup and there create a full backup as well as restore pointers.

Setup cost is a variable, but take the number of cpu´s and multiply that with the license cost as well as a target for backup storage and you have the price.

Yes evaluated vRanger and PHP backup and also Symantec. No one met the requirements.

We decided on Veeam because we were much more integrated into VMware core and you didn't have to script yourself out of alot of tideous tasks to get things working.

Veeam worked out of the box and was a tight close match to what we knew Windows-wise.

Nothing beats Veeam when it comes to Backup in a virtual environment. Just go for it, Veeam won’t let you down.

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.

9 out of 10

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.

Do it! Great, stable, full featured product.

I use Veeam ONE in testing environments. I don't use it in the production environment. I only use it for demo and testing tasks.

We have on-prem installations. In Belarus, it's not popular to use cloud features due to government regulations, and our customers use only on-prem environments.

It has been useful for monitoring, troubleshooting, and assessing our environment, as well as for investigating bottlenecks.

Sometimes, it's a little difficult for me to use its user interface. Its scope is very big with a lot of tuning, settings, and so on. If it's difficult for me, it must also be difficult for our customers.

I have been using it since 2020 when I started preparing for the certification examination for Veeam. Now, I don't use it that much. I run Veeam ONE only for demo purposes. 

Our environment is stable, and we are not into scaling and sizing our environment. It is very static for us.

I have not used their support for Veeam ONE, but I have used it for Veeam Backup and Replication tasks. I have had communication with Russian support, and they are very fast in communicating with us. They were very good. I would rate them a five out of five.

The initial setup is not so difficult, but other functions and customer settings for monitoring are sometimes difficult. Its initial installation is not difficult for me.

We are an integrator. We have two or three engineers for maintenance activities.

I have not used the resale license in our testing environments. Sometimes, our customers used the trial license for 30 days and so on.

I would advise implementing Veeam Backup and Replication and Veeam ONE together in your environments.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. It is useful for me, but sometimes, it is very difficult to use.

The main use of Veeam ONE is to provide additional information on the backup environment, especially since the reporting in Veeam's base product doesn't give much information. Veeam ONE can add information like the number of jobs that fail and the percentage of those that succeed.

Veaam ONE is a very good product in virtualized environments. It's also very simple and doesn't require very deep knowledge to understand and use.

I think Veeam ONE should be included in the base product instead of as an add-on because customers tend to look for simple solutions that are integrated. In the next solution, I would like Veeam to add support for other less-used hypervisors like Oracle VM, consolidating these products into one console.

Veeam ONE is stable and easy to use.

The new licensing model is based on instances, so it's simple to scale.

Veeam's technical support is good, I'm not aware of any big issues with it.

Veeam has been raising its prices in the last two years, so it's now lacking some competitiveness in pricing, becoming too expensive compared to other solutions in the market.

I would rate Veeam ONE as eight out of ten.

I have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for approximately five years.

Veeam Backup Replication is stable for VMware, it works well. However, if you backup other workloads. For example, I had some issues with Oracle or SQL servers.

Veeam is changing its licensing model and I think scaling will be more difficult. I didn't study in a deep way, but I remember last year's licensing model for scalability was easy because it's only a licensing processor socket on a host. When they change the licensing model I am not sure if scaling will be easy anymore.

I have not contacted technical support.

I have used NetBackup. For heavy workloads or if I need consistent backup and restore, I prefer NetBackup over Veeam Backup Replication.

The setup was straightforward Veeam Backup Replication. NetBackup is a larger solution and takes more time to implement but Veeam Backup Replication takes approximately 40 days.

Veeam Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads.

I would not recommend Veeam Backup Replication for Oracle Database and I would recommend it only if you have a small budget.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication a six out of ten.
