Veeam Data Platform Reviews

Veeam is used for backup.

Veeam is easy to use. 

We've been selling Veeam for a couple of years.

It's stable and scalable. 

Customers pay a yearly subscription for the Veeam license. The price could be lower. 

I rate Veeam Backup Replication 10 out of 10. I would recommend it. 

We use Veeam Backup Replication for replication and backups which is better performance.

Veeam Backup Replication has good performance and can do location-to-location backups. Additionally, it is user-friendly and easy to manage.

I have been using Veeam Backup Replication for a few years.

Veeam Backup Replication has good performance.

We have approximately 10 customers using this solution.

We have one person that handles the deployment and maintenance.

The license subscription could be more straightforward.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication an eight out of ten.

I am using this product in a lab environment and it is primarily for doing replication.

This product is user-friendly. The interface is easy to use.

I have experienced problems with the backup repository.

The replication process is very slow. It takes too long to replicate a virtual machine.

This is a scalable solution.

I am using this solution in trial mode, as opposed to production. As such, I have not used technical support from Veeam.

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

We primarily use it for backup and replication.

It's a very easy solution to use. It's easy for IT teams to manage, however, you don't need any special skills to really wrap your head around the product.

The product is very simple in its design. We don't need it to perform complicated tasks.

We work with the standard version, which is free.

It would be helpful if there was something that could assist you in managing the database more effectively.

It needs to offer an automatic check for backups.

I've been using the solution for three years.

The solution is very stable. We don't have any issues with its reliability. It's bug and glitch-free for the most part. It doesn't crash or freeze.

We've never really tested the scalability of the product. It's my understanding that you can extend service to ten or maybe to 20 machines. It's not complicated to do that. However, I can't speak to its full potential as it relates to scalability.  

We only have four people dealing with the product directly in our company.

Technical support is okay. We're satisfied with the level of service we're provided.

The initial implementation is not complex in any way. It's very straightforward.

While we work with the standard version of the solution, if you want to upgrade, the pricing is too high. They could work to make it more affordable for the Polish market. It's too high for most companies to afford. If it was more affordable, it could be more accessible.

We're just a customer. We don't have a business relationship with Veeam. 

We're using the standard version of the solution.

While I'd advise others to look at other companies to compare, I do recommend Veeam. It's my understanding that 60% of IT companies use Veeam. It's very popular.

Overall, I'd rate the solution six out of ten if I were to compare it to other versions of Veeam products. It's an okay solution. If it had an automatic check for backups, I'd rate it much higher.

We use Veeam ONE to monitor availability and for VM traffic and account system management.

The feature that we have found most valuable is its traffic plan. The traffic plan is very good.

Also the software manager is very good.

To make it a better solution they could improve the business feature and the camera. 

When we have a problem, we want to use the best feature. We would like to see a better solution for when your software has crashed for a minute or you can't open your software. We would like a better solution to recover your software. 

Overall, Veeam ONE could be improved if it had a better data recovery feature.

We have been using Veeam ONE for about three years.

The stability is good, we didn't see any bugs here. 

In terms of the scalability, it is good.

We have three people using the solution.

We have not had any contact with customer service yet.

The initial setup was okay.

I set everything up myself.

Veeam ONE is a good solution that anyone can use.

On a scale of one to ten I would rate Veeam ONE an eight. If it was easier to use and understand and more reliable it would be a 10.

SureBackup is the product’s most valuable feature to me.

Its backup speed and data compression power have improved the way my organization functions.

I think it would be great if it could back up from inside virtual machines (like Backup Exec) with compression. For example, if it could backup files and folders, SQL DBs, AD objects, and so on.

I’d like to see them improve the time scheduler GUI or its compatibility with tape devices.

I would tell others looking to implement this product about its pros and cons (SureBackup, data compression ratio, etc.), and would tell them to implement it on a dedicated physical server with FC-HBA.

It is very easy to work with its GUI. It has a lot of features with a low (reasonable) price when compared with other backup solutions.

Instant Veeam Recovery is invaluable as it has eliminated the need for High Availability as you can bring back up applications within five minutes if needed.

In term of cost saving, it does reflect the justification made to the management to invest on Veeam B&R rather than build a redundant high availability in either Virtualize or physical environment which is costly to manage and maintain. With IVR, you can also improve your recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) by bringing up the VM within a short period of time, thus minimizing the troubleshooting duration.

I'm not sure if others has the same issue as mine but the full recovery file (.VBK) growth is really causing our customer a headache as they have to perform a full backup, and when the disk capacity is getting low, you have to clear the backup disk and then perform the backup. The previous version seemed to have better integration as it removed blocks from the full VBK file during the backup.

I've been working with it for around four to five years.

We have had no issues with the deployment.

You have to plan for a higher disk throughput rate since the Veeam restore target is to disk, and the full recovery time can be a nightmare especially if you're recovering to thin disk which is super slow.

I have noticed in the new version has some issues with VBK growth which I didn't experience in the previous version. The VBK file will keep on growing, and although some features are added to contain the growth such as compaction & BitLocker, I've not seen any improvement yet.

So far they've been excellent except for one case. It was a Sev One incident, and an engineer only called me back eight hours after I logged it.

It's really straightforward and very user friendly.

We're a systems integrator and we deploy it to different environments. Veeam has great documentation for deployment and planning on their website. My only advice to is to include a scenario base during recovery for example, whenever you do IVR, expect throughput to be slow as it will be mounted from backup repository.

For most customers who don't have budget issues, we usually recommend Commvault. One of the reasons that we recommend Commvault is the ability for the corporate division to use it globally. I find Commvault has a better R&D team and can accommodate most hypervisors currently on the market. The latest one that Commvault supports is Nutanix AHV which has added value to its product portfolio. With the growing popularity of hyper converged systems, this decision is timely. However, Commvault price is high, and can be very expensive if you're going with their Capacity license. I just hope Veeam product team will include AHV compatibility in the next release.

Backup is not much of a concern, but for recovery you do have to plan for additional capacity especially when you want to redirect your restore. Veeam's planning recommendation should include for customers to assign a VM as a thick disk for recovery purposes.

The ease of use of the product and overall confidence in the product and Veeam support are valuable.

We can now perform restores as file level instead of the whole VM.

A better reporting function where we can see all the job statistics as standard rather than buying this feature with Veeam One.

I've been using it for six to eight months.

We have had no issues with the deployment.

Using Synthetic Full Backup caused issues with storage, but since switching to True Full Backup everything seams to be fine.

It's been able to scale for our needs.

It's 10/10.

We used an in house script, which did not address a file level restore.

It was fine, but the current setup process could do with some tweaking. It would be nice to have more advice on domain controller restores.

We performed it in-house.

Try it first and see if it does what you want.
