If you are in a virtualized environment, there is nothing better than Veeam One but the alerts need better descriptions.

What is most valuable?

I really like the reporting. You can build your own reports and schedule to send them any time. I also like the fact that alerts are resolved automatically if there is no longer an issue.

How has it helped my organization?

From a storage prospective we were getting alerts when the Hyper V LUNS reached the threshold and we were able to fix the space issue before something worse happened.

No more surprises about our Hyper-V environment, storage.

What needs improvement?

Better description of the problems as the alerts are missing good descriptions. Sometimes you need to spend extra time to Google the error because the information from the alerts is not clear enough.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used it for two years.

I don't have any stability issues.

How are customer service and support?

Tape support is still not performing as expected; Veeam relates to backup as a repository instead of long term archive.

What is most valuable?

I started working with Veeam because of its replication capabilities. Later on when version 7 was released, with the addition of the tape support, I started migrating to pure Veeam environments.

What needs improvement?

Tape support is still not performing as expected (at least for my opinion) as Veeam relates to tape backup as a repository instead of a long term archive. Schedule options can be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

Almost two years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

No but you need to pay attention to small things that make a big difference. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Usually it runs very smoothly.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

No, I have one rule regarding Veeam, use proxy!

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

I used to work with Symantec backup exec / System recovery, IBM FastBack and Arcserve each one of them has its strength and weaknesses. The reason I switched to Veeam was the native support for virtual environments.

How was the initial setup?

Pretty straightforward and intuitive.

What about the implementation team?

I'm an integrator so I can't rate myself.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I've tested CA ARCserve High Availability (formally XoSoft) IBM FastBack (formally FilesX) and Double-Take Availability.

Simple setup, integrates well, but backup compression could improve
Pros and Cons
  • "The integration of Veeam Backup Replication is very good."
  • "The parallel backup process from the Veeam server to Veeam has some limitations. The number of parallel backups should be increased and the compressional is very low. Sometimes it is half or one-third, but other backup solutions' compression levels are very high."

We are using Veeam Backup Replication for server and virtual backups.

What is most valuable?

The integration of Veeam Backup Replication is very good.

What needs improvement?

The parallel backup process from the Veeam server to Veeam has some limitations. The number of parallel backups should be increased and the compressional is very low. Sometimes it is half or one-third, but other backup solutions' compression levels are very high.

The Veeam Backup Replication initial setup was very easy.
