Pros and Cons
  • "Very reliable and easy to use."
  • "Could offer a better conclusion of the backups."

The solution has a good user interface, is easy to use, and is very reliable.

What needs improvement?

I'd like to see better compression of the backups.

Straightforward installation, quick support, and effective replication
Pros and Cons
  • "The replication is the most valuable feature for us."
  • "The initial setup of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward. The process took approximately two days. The setup could be streamlined to take less time."

What is our primary use case?

We are using Veeam Backup Replication only to replicate things from one server to another. We are in the testing phase, not in production. We are only using a small part of the solution.

What is most valuable?

The replication is the most valuable feature for us.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of the solution is perfect.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is very good. The one or two times that we needed something from technical support, they answered quickly and right to the point.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward. The process took approximately two days. The setup could be streamlined to take less time.

What about the implementation team?

We did the implementation ourselves.

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

The license cost is per socket, per processor. We can have one license with two processors and we can cover everything inside of the test environment that we have.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We wanted the best software in the market and the best software for what we needed is Veeam Backup Replication. We did not compare other solutions, we only selected the best-reviewed solution.

Provides granular restoration, has good replication features, and scales well
Pros and Cons
  • "The granular restoration that it provides for a business application is most valuable. For example, for Exchange, we can restore a single mailbox or email. We can also do SQL Server restoration and bare-metal recovery for operating systems."
  • "Veeam currently lacks features for backing up to network-attached storage. Veeam Backup & Replication agents do not support S3 storage. Only Veeam Backup & Replication server supports S3 storage."

What is our primary use case?

It is for backup and disaster recovery as a service. It is deployed in our data center, and then we sell the service to our customers.

What is most valuable?

The granular restoration that it provides for a business application is most valuable. For example, for Exchange, we can restore a single mailbox or email. We can also do SQL Server restoration and bare-metal recovery for operating systems. 

Replication features are very useful for customers. They can recover the services and move from one data center to another.

What needs improvement?

Veeam currently lacks features for backing up to network-attached storage. Veeam Backup & Replication agents do not support S3 storage. Only Veeam Backup & Replication server supports S3 storage. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for about five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Its stability is good. I would rate it an eight out of 10 in terms of stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It scales well. I would rate it an eight out of 10 in terms of scalability.

In our infrastructure, we have hundreds of users. Our customers are from many markets, but its users are from their IT department.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate them an eight out of 10.

How was the initial setup?

It is not complex. It is straightforward. We can deploy it to our customers in about 1 to 2 hours or 1 to 2 days. It depends on a customer's infrastructure.

What about the implementation team?

We deploy it ourselves, and we only use support when we have technical issues with the product. We have three engineers for deployment.

What was our ROI?

It is very difficult to calculate because it is a backup solution. It is not a business service, which makes it very difficult to calculate the ROI.

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

We are fine with its pricing policy. 

We provide service for our customers, and the licensing is on a monthly basis. They get licenses, computer resources, and our support. Everything is included in a single price.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise others to test this product before buying it. There are many backup products and services, and they have different features and functionalities. We provide our customers a 30-days trial period to test the product for free, and then they can agree or not agree to use this product.

I would rate it an eight out of 10.

User-friendly interface, easy to deploy and use, support for virtualized environments
Pros and Cons
  • "The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V."
  • "I would like to see more broad support for other applications such as databases, or other operating systems."

What is our primary use case?

We are a system integrator and we implement backup software solutions for our customers. Veeam is one of the products that we provide.

What is most valuable?

The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V.

The interface is user-friendly. It's easy to deploy and easy to manage.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see more broad support for other applications such as databases, or other operating systems. Veeam is currently developing some of these features but they are not as mature as those found on backup products for physical servers. Essentially, integration with products from other vendors should be improved.

This product should be integrated with Kasten for Kubernetes backup. It would be helpful for backing up a container environment.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been working with Veeam Backup & Replication for between five and six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability has always been good with this solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Most of our customers do not have a large virtual environment. Veeam is capable of quickly scaling up or scaling out to meet the requirements of our customers. 

How are customer service and support?

The technical support from Veeam is quite helpful. They have a capable team.

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

We also use Commvault, Veritas, and IBM Spectrum Protect.

The IBM console is definitely more complex in terms of implementation and monitoring. The user interface for Veeam is better.

The support available is similar from all of the vendors. Most of the backup software and principles are quite similar and we can handle problems with the help of support.

How was the initial setup?

There were no complications with the initial setup.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Several licensing schemes are available.

What other advice do I have?

My advice for anybody who is implementing Veeam is to learn about the various licensing schemes. There are several available to choose from.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Easy to use, scalable, and reasonably priced
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
