Veeam Data Platform Reviews

The most valuable feature of this product is its very fast recovery.

I would like a solution for SAP systems to be included in the next release.

I've been using this solution for around ten years.

The product is stable and reliable.

This solution is easy to scale.

The initial setup was quite straightforward.

I implemented through an integrator.

This solution is very user-friendly and easily recoverable. I would rate this product as seven out of ten.

Its portability and being able to back up between different platforms are the most valuable features.

There is always some room for improvement, especially with some of the different technologies such as DB2. Commvault has a DB2 agent, but Veeam still doesn't have it. We have to use the universal one for it.

Although this is not really something that comes too much from the Veeam side, there could be more integration with the storage for snapshots. I know that some products that we use would need it, but I think that also comes more from the storage suppliers.

I have been using it for about 10 years.

It is stable.

It is very good at scalability.

Their support was very good when I needed support back in South Africa.

We currently are on Commvault, and we're also on Veeam, but we are busy putting forward a design to migrate from Commvault to Veeam for our company.

Its initial setup is easy.

I would rate it a nine out of 10.

We are using Veeam ONE to monitor our environment.

The solution is simple to use.

The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment.

I have been using this solution for approximately eight years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is highly scalable in the virtual environment.

The support team Veeam can be available 24 hours a day seven days a week depending on your license agreement. However, in Veeam ONE the support query availability is not as good as other solutions they offer.

Veeam ONE is straightforward to implement.

If you have Veeam Backup and Replication with the essential license then this solution is free. If you were to purchase Veeam ONE by itself it is priced cheaper than competitors.

I rate Veeam ONE a nine out of ten.

We are familiar with all the versions. As resellers we can sell any version of the solution. 

Our use cases involve  Veeam or Hyper V infrastructure. They concern physical servers, Office 365, complete solution specs, a mold self, the Como workloads and Oracle SAP.

One of the most valuable features is the simplicity of the solution's administration. I like its rental capabilities, as well as the backup data, replication abilities, in respect of the current Veeam or the backup servers to the Cloud provider. Disaster recovery is also simple and very easy to manage. 

While the Veeam Backup Replication tool can mostly back up all the data in the environment, the AIX from IBM backup capabilities nowadays could stand improvement as they are not featured on a single pane of glass. A consultation is required for its administration. As such, the integration of AIX would be welcome. 

While Veeam Backup & Replication is a complete solution, it would be nice to have the Veeam server on Linux. The availability of the Server Manager only on Windows installation should be addressed.  

I have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for around two or three years.

The solution is stable and allows for ease of use. 

The solution is very scalable. Once the license is attended to, there is not much need to concern oneself with new implementations or changes to the installation process. As such the solution is scalable, stable and very friendly to use.

I rate the technical support as a ten out of ten. Veeam boasts a wide documentation forum in which most issues can be resolved. When there is a need to engage their support services, we have found them to be straightforward and very quick to resolve the issue. 

Taking into account the setups and boss configurations, the deployment takes from two to three days and is very simple to do. With the right partner it can be accomplished pretty quickly and simply. 

Deployment and maintenance involves two or three people. It is quite easy. 

We evaluated ARC server and Capizec. We are a reseller and implementation company, so we handle both of these aspects as concerns the software of many different back up tools, but Veeam lags far behind the competition. The others use WAN and are our first choice. 

In comparison with Veeam Backup & Replication, the license form and attendant specs of the competitors make things quite easy. 

I truly like the solution. It is easy, fast and reliable when it comes to growth. 

While our parent company has the solution on-premises, we also sell it as a service, as we are Veeam partners. 

We have a variety of client types and sizes. 

I am using the solution in a virtual environment for backup and replication.

I have found the most valuable feature to be the new CDP features. It is very popular for my customer's needs. 

Additionally, the solution is user-friendly.

There is some complexity we have experienced when using the solution that should be simplified.

I have been using this solution for approximately three years.

The solution is stable.

We have used the technical support and they are very good. We receive a resolution at a high priority.

The installation was easy.

The price of Veeam Backup and Replication is expensive.

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

We are a managed service provider and we run a cloud backup company. We provide cloud backup services for customers and our primary platform is Veeam. 

The primary reason that we use Veeam is the market share.

There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud. It wasn't designed for it but we're making it work.

We have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for 10 years.

There are bugs and other things that go wrong in almost any environment, although it's not that there's anything wrong with the product. That's just life in IT.

Scalability-wise, it is okay, although it could be better.

We use it internally, although it revolves around our clients.

Technical support is good and I would rate them a seven out of ten. The rating would improve if they were better at following up.

The initial setup is complex. Our is a very large project to run in the cloud.

We have our own Veeam certified engineers who deploy and maintain it.

We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Veeam each year, although it is not expensive for what we get.

The licensing is something that could be improved.

We have evaluated other solutions but Veeam is the best for virtualization.

My advice for anybody who is considering Veeam is that it's a good product. We do not have an environment that is user-centric, where I can make specific suggestions otherwise.

We are currently using version 10 and plan to move to version 11 within the next two months.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Previously, a backup expert would be required to get a backup product to function properly. With Veeam Backup and Restore, things are so simple and efficient that you do not need to spend hours on end configuring the product. This allows engineers to focus on other business critical applications.

Instant VM restore is one of the coolest functions within this product. It lets you verify a backup with the least amount of effort, especially when backing up a VM before running some maintenance.

Offering mobile apps that give engineers a global view of his backup regime would be a "nice to have" feature.

We have experienced no stability issues at all.

We have not yet had any stability issues. I have deployed this product in very large environments and I have never been limited with its scalability.

There is room for improvement. However, when compared to other products, the support is on the good side.

I haven’t used any other solution. I have always used this product for VM backups.

Since scalability is simple, i.e., you can deploy a proxy or add a new gateway, the initial setup is also simple.

The pricing makes sense, especially with the number of VMs you can fit on one socket nowadays. Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I did not look at other options.

Make sure not to overlook the network capacity during the planning stage. This obviously depends on your backup set and has to be given more importance if your backup set is considerable.

Running the virtual machine from within the backup gives us the chance to test the machine before restoring it.

In the past, we were using another backup product. We used it to restore the machine multiple times, until we reached the required version of the machines. This process takes a very long time to finish.

I am looking for the ability to:

• Backup physical machines
• Backup exchange mailboxes and retrieve a message in a mailbox
• Backup SQL servers and retrieve a record in a table
• Backup the Active Directory and retrieve a single object

I have used Veeam for four years.

We have not encountered any issues with stability.

I have not had any issues with scalability.

The support staff team is perfect. I hope they keep that level of perfection.

The features in Veeam are much better than in the other products.

The setup was straightforward and the pre-sales engineer helped us a lot to set up the product according to best practices.

According to the features, I believe it has a reasonable price.

We evaluated Veeam ONE.

I am already telling others that I use this solution when I meet them in conferences and meetings.
