For additional features, I'd say having integration backup through hybrid cloud.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using the solution for more than five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable.

Useful for restoring and scheduling jobs; very user-friendly and efficient
Pros and Cons
  • "A quick-working solution that is very user friendly."
  • "The solution needs more detailed reporting."

What is our primary use case?

The solution provides backup for my virtual infrastructure. We are customers of Veeam and I'm an IT manager. 

What is most valuable?

The interface is user-friendly and the solution works quickly. It's also quite helpful for restoring. If there's an instance where I don't need to restore, I can easily copy-paste and that is a useful feature. It's simple to schedule jobs on Veeam and get whatever details you need, it really fulfills all our requirements. 

What needs improvement?

It's sometimes difficult identifying the resources for backup and I think that could be improved. I'd also like to see more detailed reporting. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for almost four years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

We haven't really needed to contact customer service. 

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

We previously used a different solution and switched to Veeam because it works faster, the recovery process is very quick, and it's easily scalable. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup wasn't too easy or too difficult. We had an integrator who helped us and it was a seamless process. Deployment took less than a day but integrating and customizing took some time, not only because of Veeam but as a result of the process involved in migrating from the previous solution. We have one person dealing with maintenance. We're using Veeam on 10 servers. 

What was our ROI?

We have been using this product for the past three to four years now, and we have well and truly recovered the cost of implementing it.

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

Licensing costs are reasonable.  

What other advice do I have?

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Reasonably priced with good ransomware protection and the ability to expand
Pros and Cons
  • "Pricing is fairly reasonable and not overly expensive."
  • "If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the product for backup and replication purposes. 

How has it helped my organization?

The manageability is very easy. It's one console and you can see all of the backups and the replication. The restore processes, the RTO and RPOs, are very low.

What is most valuable?

The best feature is the CDP - the snapshot integration into sand storage. 

The new feature for ransomware protection has been great.

We have found the solution to be stable.

The scalability is good.

Pricing is fairly reasonable and not overly expensive.

What needs improvement?

The deployment process can be quite complex. 

I can't speak to any features that are missing. It has everything we need.

If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues. 

Technical support could be better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution since 2013.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. That said, upgrades can give you problems if you upgrade too fast. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's very scalable, however, it can be complex to execute.

We have ten people who use it on a daily basis. It's pretty much used 24/7. It's a mission-critical product in our organization.

We do have plans to increase usage in the future.

How are customer service and support?

Sometimes it can be a bit slow to get assistance as we don't have production support. We just have the normal standard support, which makes sense. They can sometimes point fingers. For example, they might try to say "It's EMC or it's NetApp. It's not our product." That can be a bit of a problem.

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

We used to use Symantec prior to 2013.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup and deployment were a while back. However, from my experience, I've deployed it three or four times. It's about a day to deploy and it can be complicated. It's not that easy if you don't know what's going on.

We just need one person to maintain the solution. 

What about the implementation team?

We did not use a consultant from the vendor side. Everything was handled by our team. We did it in-house.

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

We pay a yearly licensing fee.

We've found the pricing to be very reasonable. It's not overly expensive. 

There are different tiers available, including Standard, Enterprise, and Enterprise Plus. We have the standard license. 

What other advice do I have?

We are customers and end-users.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been pretty happy with its capabilities.

Responsive technical support, straightforward installation, and reliable
Pros and Cons
  • "My customers find the backup and recovery ease of use is the most beneficial feature."
  • "The recovery and integration features of Veeam Backup Replication could improve. For example, all VM integration could improve, such as with Hyper-V and VMware."

What is our primary use case?

Veeam Backup Replication is used by my clients as a backup and recovery solution.

What is most valuable?

My customers find the backup and recovery ease of use is the most beneficial feature.

What needs improvement?

The recovery and integration features of Veeam Backup Replication could improve. For example, all VM integration could improve, such as with Hyper-V and VMware.

There is not any kind of archiving feature that is provided and in a future release, there should be an archiving feature in this platform. They would be better able to compete with the other archiving solution. In the current scenario, if the customer wants to have an archiving feature, they will have to purchase another solution because we cannot have this archiving feature with Veeam Backup Replication.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Veeam Backup Replication has been stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of Veeam Backup Replication is good.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is good and responsive.

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

I have used Commvault.

How was the initial setup?

The initial installation is quite easy and not very cumbersome. It's easy if you have a basic understanding of the architecture of the Veeam.

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

The subscription-based pricing of Veeam Backup Replication is competitive.

What other advice do I have?

The solution that we recommend more often depends on the use case. If there are other use cases that include bare metal recovery and archiving features then I would recommend another product, such as Commvault.

I would advise before implementing a solution such as Veeam Backup Replication that you have the training and skillset before implementation. This allows for proper implementation, best practices, and stability. It is helpful to have someone that is certified.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication an eight out of ten.

Efficient backup, supports all vendors, and helpful documentation
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are efficient backup and replication. Additionally, Veeam Backup Replication supports all products and vendors."
  • "The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."

What is our primary use case?

We use Veeam Backup Replication for data backup and replication.

We will upgrade to version 11 soon.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are efficient backup and replication. Additionally, Veeam Backup Replication supports all products and vendors.

What needs improvement?

The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Veeam Backup Replication is highly stable.

I had a customer that has been in operation for two years without any critical issues.

We do not have plans to increase usage at this time. We use the basic version at this time. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of the solution is good.

We have five people in my organization that use this solution and support 10 customers.

How are customer service and support?

I am in Turkey and the support is very important for the customer but it should be improved.

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

We have used Commvault previously but the customers cannot use Commvault for backups and replication, it is not included on the Commvault backup software. 

Veeam Backup Replication allows both features.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of Veeam Backup Replication was straightforward. Step by step, we did not have any problems.

What about the implementation team?

We have five people for maintenance of Veeam Backup Replication.

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

The price of Veeam Backup Replication has been increasing their price and my customers are asking why. They have CPU-based licenses and a Universal License, the prices should be reduced.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise others that want to implement this solution to check the Veeam website for documentation and follow the information all step by step on how to install it. Everything is available in the documentation about implementation. If someone follows the documentation they will not have a problem with the implementation.
 
I rate Veeam Backup & Replication a nine out of ten.

  • "Good compression when storing data."
  • "The web interface could be more visual."

What is our primary use case?

We are integrators and resellers so we install this product in our clients' environment. I'm a data center architect.

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

The licensing is on an annual basis and I think it's a good price.
