Veeam Data Platform Reviews

We primarily used the solution for backups and replication. 

For the most part, all of the features are very good.

The initial setup was very easy.

I only ever found one error. It was when we were doing a file copy job. After using it for ten minutes, it would slow down and cause a bottleneck error. 

It would be ideal if the product can reduce the number of errors we received. 

I had been using the solution for about six months or so. It hadn't been that long. 

We do seem to get many errors, especially during file copies. 

Not too many people are using the solution. It was basically just myself and my colleague, and we were using it in order to evaluate it. It hasn't been used widely yet.

I've never used technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are, having never spoken with them directly. I wouldn't be able to evaluate their services.

Before working with this solution, I did not use any other similar products. In the past, I simply used a bit of HP products for certain tasks. 

The initial setup is not complex or too complicated. It's very easy and quite straightforward. A company shouldn't have any issues with the process. 

There is only one license that you can purchase. My colleague was handling the licensing details. I was looking at it more from a technical perspective and therefore can't speak to the pricing or licensing agreements that are possible.

We were basically evaluating Veritas and Veeam. We've just been evaluating both of them.

I used the solution at my previous company. Currently, our organization is considering Veeam and Veritas and we are evaluating both to see which would be best for our company.

I would advise other users to not do file copy jobs from Veeam. It's best to just use it for replication purposes.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten overall. 

I have no use cases of which to speak concerning the solution. Veeam ONE is a data center product and is not used by users, just for infrastructure purposes.

The support, reporting features, and customization should all be improved. 

I have been using and providing Veeam ONE for a couple of years. I am using the latest version, which was implemented last month.

Customer support should be improved. 

The initial setup was straightforward. It took ten minutes.

I rate Veeam ONE as a five out of ten.

I would not recommend the solution to someone considering its implementation. 

We use Veeam in our company for demo purposes to present to our clients and our customers. We have some keys in production implementation in the production environment, in our clients' infrastructure.

The solution is a very convenient instant crypto machine. It's great for virtual machine recovery, mass storage, data immigration, restoring backups of physical service to mutual environments, et cetera.

Some features of Veeam will work in cloud environments, such as Azure. 

The solution is extremely user-friendly.

Overall, the product has proven to be quite stable.

The solution has extensive documentation.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

I just started working with version 11 in January and I am still looking at the changes. I haven't come across areas of the solution that are lacking just yet. I still need to explore it more.

Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus. It would be much more helpful if they provided their documentation in multiple languages.

The backup jobs and the scheduled tuning are not as convenient as compared to a solution such as Data Protector. They should work on these aspects to make them more convenient.

Veeam can not do some backup jobs. yOu can only arrange it on a daily basis and no more than that. You can't, for example, do a backup twice in one day, even if you need to.  

I've been working with the solution for a while. I just started using the latest version in January.

The stability of the solution is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's excellent.

The solution is scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

We've never had to open a ticket for Veeam. I've never dealt with technical support directly. I can't speak to how knowledgable or responsive they are.

Up until two years ago, I worked with Micro Focus Data Protector, version 9.5. It's more for enterprises and has more capabilities for working with tape libraries, replication between the sites, data trends, or working with virtual tape libraries, and so on. It is more expensive, however, in comparison to Veeam.

The initial setup is not overly complex. It's rather straightforward. Specifically, when it comes to small environments, deployment is very easy. You don't have to be overly skilled to do an implementation.

I don't know the exact pricing of the software. I can't speak to its direct costs.

I haven't properly evaluated Commvault, however, I've attended webinars on the solution and have a bit of familiarity with it.

I'm an integrator. Our organization is a Gold Partner with Veeam.

Overall, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. It's pretty good.

We use Veeam to backup all the virtual machines and all the company data.

It's a backup solution. The only way it has improved the organization is by giving us a modern and robust backup solution. The previous solution wasn't complex, lacked features, and was abandoned.

I think the interface is straightforward. It's not complex. The other thing I like is that it usually works very well.

Technical support can be improved. Cloud backup could also be better. It would be better if there were an option to back up and then manually attach to storage. It's possible on-premises, but this isn't possible on the cloud. 

I've been using Veeam Backup & Replication for two years.

I consider it to be very stable.

It depends on the license. If we have more laws, more data to back up, then it's possible to do it. It's very scalable. It's only an issue of licenses and if it's necessary to increase the bandwidth and if it's necessary to increase the number of proxy servers. It's very scalable, and the product has no limits.

We had issues with the technical support. We had a very good response for some incidents and a very bad one for other incidents. It isn't homogeneous. It's a bit heterogeneous. It has a lot to do with the support engineers that deal with your case.

We did look at other options. The other solutions I was looking at weren't good enough.

The on-premises installation was very simple, but the on cloud installation has been more complex. It took us about one week for on-premises and three weeks for cloud deployment.

We used a reseller to implement the solution.

It's the market price. It isn't expensive, nor is it cheap.

I would advise potential users to consider this solution and analyze it. See if this could be a good solution for their use case. Even though there's room for improvement, I believe it's a good solution. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Veeam Backup & Replication an eight.

We are resellers of Veeam with an official partnership and a contract for reselling the product.

What I like most about this solution are the simplicity and the price-performance ratio.

It's a great product, but only if you have everything virtualized. If you still have non-virtualized environments, then it's not treatable for customers who have some products we can not virtualize. For example, another service, or if you have Oracle or other databases, then it's not treatable for those environments.

We have been using Veeam Backup Replication from the point that Veeam was available.

It's a stable solution. We have not had any complaints from our clients.

It's scalable with no issues.

If we have any issues, our technician teams contact the manufacture if they need help.

The initial setup and deployment are handled by our technician. I have never done it myself, but from my understanding, it's easy.

We have a team in-house for maintenance.

The price is quite fair.

People always want something cheaper but then it doesn't work as well.

Most of the time, we recommend Veeam because it's good enough. But in some environments, we don't see any reason for it and we recommend other solutions.

Know your environment before choosing Veeam to ensure that it is suitable.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use Veeam for the backup and recovery of our production environment.

The most valuable feature is the ability to restore the VMs into a test environment.

Some of the best practice documentation could be improved.

The stability is perfect and we have not had any problems with it.

With respect to how much we use this solution, we don't expect to increase it. Rather, we're just going to keep our usage the same that we have.

Their support is pretty good and I haven't had any issues with it.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

We had an integrator do most of the implementation.

I am the only one in the organization who uses the software.

Overall, we are happy with this software and have not found any limitations to it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We develop our own replication solutions for the IBM i platform. Our product is called Maxava. We have 500 customers using that for disaster recovery, data replication. We use Veeam in-house for our Windows replication.

I am not a direct user of this product, but my technical guys tell me that they like the product, and it is easy to use. We don't have any issues with it.

It would be nice if it could be integrated with third-party solutions like ours. It has been supporting just Windows and virtual machines.

I have been using this solution for about five years.

It is stable. I am not aware of any issues.

It is scalable. We're just using it in-house. We have maybe 20 to 23 users that we support on it.

Our guys have probably talked to support from time to time, but I haven't seen any issues raised about it or anything like that. So, I presume it's all pretty good.

It was pretty easy and straightforward.

Its pricing is really good.

I would recommend this solution. From my point of view, I haven't had any issues with it.

I would rate Veeam Backup & Replication a seven out of ten.

We use this solution for deploying machine backup and for recovery from a disaster recovery site. We also use it for file backup. For the database backup, we use the software embedded in the SQL Server.

Its stability and scalability were the main reasons for going for this solution. It is highly scalable, and its stability is also powerful.

It has a friendly interface, and its monitoring and performance are the best in the market.

The orchestration feature can be improved. They can improve the virtual machine orchestration to make it similar to VMware. They can also provide an option to automate the backup and recovery and schedule a backup.

I have been using this solution for three years.

It is very stable. This is the main reason why we chose Veeam for this client and not VMware.

It is very scalable. This is another reason why we chose Veeam for backup and recovery for this client. It allows us to scale to many other projects. This project is very big. It involves more than 70 virtual machines in the production environment, and it is possible to scale to more than 100 virtual machines.

We didn't face any problems with this solution. 

In the past, we also used VMware orchestration for VMware backup and recovery. Veeam is more stable and scalable, and its price is more attractive than VMware.

It was easy for our deployment engineers. The deployment took a maximum of one week. In my company, probably seven engineers are in charge of this. My company has been a large integrator in Romania, and we have expertise in many areas of IT. We have five to seven people for each subdomain in IT.

Its price is reasonable for a big company or a big client. It is not too much. It is cheaper than VMware.

We tested VMware and Veeam solutions, and we chose Veeam for this project because our client is a public institution and required a very stable solution. Veeam is more stable than VMware, and our client preferred Veeam.

I would rate Veeam Backup & Replication a nine out of ten. There are some features that they need to improve in Veeam, but it is perfect for most of the companies in Romania.
