Veeam Data Platform Reviews

Off-site replication was good.

We were struggling with having software that would give us reliable backup and when we implemented the Veeam solution, it solved the problem for us.

Direct SAN to SAN replication – it didn’t integrate well with the 3PAR SAN that we had.

I've used it for about four years.

No issues – easy deployment.

No issues with stability.

No issues – it scaled to our needs.

Never had to use them – that’s a good sign.

Never had to use them – that’s a good sign.

We were using Comvault for part of our backups and when Comvault allowed their SAN snapshotting we switched it all over.

We looked at a couple but it was cheaper to just go with Comvault across the board and pay one fee.

Do a live demo or trial – make sure it’s a good fit for what you need.

As a backup solution, the de-duplication and direct-to-tape functions are very valuable. It also has WAN acceleration, though I've yet to use that feature.

• In various ways, we are using an Active Directory OS-aware backup, and I can recover deleted objects to AD.
• When I need to duplicate a machine for test purposes, it is very easy to restore from a backup.

Managing snapshots during the backup.

I've used it for two years.

No issues encountered.

I was using a VMware built-in backup solution, but it wasn't at all friendly to operate.

It is straightforward and very easy.

I did it myself.

The price is higher than other similar products.

Only a VMware backup solution.

Go ahead, it is a very good choice and will give you peace of mind. I've found that it's the best backup solution for a virtual infrastructure.

Exchange and File server backup are valuable features.

Versions of backup files helped us to recover files as per users requirement.

Virtual Environment

I've used it for seven years.

No, but deployment is bit complicated.

Having issues with the hardware.

Tape base backup and data is spread across the tapes.

2/10.

2/10.

We previously used the Windows backup solution and we changed to Tivoli for automated backups and multiple copies of backup sets to comply with central bank policy to keep the backup data offsite and out of the country.

Initial set up was bit complicated. Policy definition is not easy.

We used a vendor team whose expertise was 2/10.

It's not 100%.

No. We did not do an evaluation.

Good product but not it's suitable for a virtual environment.

- CBT (Change block tracking)

- Agent less

- Replication

- Dedupe

- Reducing backup storage

- Reducing backup time

Physical servers backup.

2 Years.

Yes, but solved in a few time by the support.

No issues with stability.

No issues with scalability.

10/10 - Very fast answer and follow up.

10/10.

Symantec Netbackup. We changed when we saw the promise of Veeam.

And these promises have been delivered!

Straightforward. More simple to administrate than a Netbackup or other one.

No, we implemented in house, with help of the support line.

Divide the cost of the backup by 2!

Actually, the cost is more than one hour of work per day (at maximum). I don't know the real cost of installation.

None, this is a competitive upgrade purposed by Veeam.

Simplicity!

• File level recovery
• Point in time backup

• Veeam Backup has given us the power to protect the critical VM's that are core to our business. For example we protect our VMware vCenter Server, vCenter MS Sql Server.
• Active Directory Domain Controller. This help us recover the Internal management tools like vCenter Server within 30 minutes from Veeam Backup.

2 years

Haven't had any issues.

I have never seen any issues with the Veeam Backup product personally

This product is very easy to scale, I never had any issues with it.

VMware VDP it was missing file level restore on version 5.0 which Veeam offers.

This is per-CPU, initially we ordered 40 CPU.

Before choosing Veeam we have tested two products Unitrends backup, VMware VDP

We have two types of licenses with Veeam, one is for in-house and the other is for the service provider or your customers. Make sure you have a clear understanding of which license you need in your organization.

Flawless virtual machine backup.

Ability to have disaster recovery site capabilities integrated into our backup solution as well as a backup product that scales along with our needs.

None that I can think of.

5 years. We just upgraded to version 8.

Only one minor Microsoft related configuration issue that easily resolved.

No issues with stability.

No issues with scalability.

Very good. Every support call as been handled quickly and completely.

Just as good.

Symantec Backup Exec. Was not an effective solution for virtual machine backups.

Very simple. More or less just click continue when prompted and then some fairly simple steps to setup the initial backup jobs.

In-house.

The ability to instantly recover a virtual machine as compared to several hours with previous methods.

I don't have the initial cost, but ongoing maintenance is very affordable.

Wasn't anything on the market at the time that really could compare to this.

We use Veeam Backup Replication for our VMware 6.5 and vSphere VMware 6.5 solutions.

The most valuable features are the backup and restoration of our VMs. Additionally, they add features regularly.

I have been using Veeam Backup Replication for approximately 

The pricing of the solution could be reduced.

I sometimes attend Veeam's annual meetings when they have them. Because of COVID, I didn't attend one or two of them, but Veeam seems to be very proactive in adding features.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication a nine out of ten.

We are using Veeam for regular backups and disaster management.

The backup and restore features are the most valuable.

The user interface needs to be improved. It could be simpler to use.

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

This is a stable product.

Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution. We have approximately 300 end-users and we don't plan on increasing this by very much.

I have not been in contact with technical support.

Prior to Veeam, I was using the regular Windows Backup utility.

The initial setup is straightforward and it takes roughly an hour to deploy.

Our in-house team was responsible for the implementation.

We have four people in our IT team. They are all administrators.

In summary, this is a good product and I recommend it for those who are interested in using it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
