Veeam Data Platform Reviews

• The ability to perform de-duplication is the most valuable feature for me.
• It also performs SQL backups so that I can restore SQL database table bases. 
• Replication time very good. For example, I can replicate 4TB data to the DR side in 5 hours with a 10 Mbps data line everyday.
• Replica server tests on the DR side are very easy because I just need to power on the server on from there.

After we started using Veeam, we transferred all our 30 virtual servers in seven hours to our disaster recovery side. 

Also, during our disaster recovery test w,e did not have any issues replicating servers.

It should support physical servers, and as far as I know, v9 will do this.

We had no issues deploying it.

It's been very stable.

We can scale as needed.

I wasn't involved in the initial setup, but I haven't heard that it wasn't anything by straightforward.

I would advise you to get it because some of the features are free.

Its backup capabilities and also day to day replication.

We wanted to replicate a very old database which is running on VM. We were looking for solution long time and finally using this product we are able to do it.

I think it's fantastic, so none.

2 years.

No issues with deployment.

No issues with stability.

No issues with scalability.

5 out of 5.

5 out of 5.

No, this was our first.

Very straightforward.

In-house.

Yes, we evaluated SRM.

Like I previously mentioned, we are using a very old database and even that database company didn't provide support. I tried to replicate it over WAN, and now by using Veeam, it works great. It was running on my regional site which had standalone VM with local storage and that's why Veeam worked fine compare to SRM.

The product is really easy to use.

It has made the VM infrastructure easier to manage, as well as simplifying the backup and restore process.

The tape management is not really efficient and some other products are better. I know that backup on tape is not the the main target of Veeam but, it's important.

I've used it for two years.

Nothing serious.

Sometimes, the memory is not big enough, and I would guess that a leak might be present. Performing a monthly reboot solve this (at the same time as Windows updates).

No issues encountered.

It's good.

It's poor for certain issues (with the Veeam One product, the guys did not talk together and asked the same question several times). We had a loss of production time, and the answers they gave were not efficient.

It was simple and fast.

I implemented it myself.

I also looked at Avamar, Symanted and TSM which are better for tape management and data retention management, but expensive. Veeam however, is the easiest way to manage virtual infrastructure backup, and the cost is better, when compared with some other solutions.

Evaluate your needs before choosing a product. If tape management is required only, then Veeam is not the choice.

• Sure backup
• Synthetic backups

It drastically reduced the backup time window and improved data protection.

Better flexibility for scheduling jobs, specifically for the SQL hourly log backup.

I've used it for eight months.

Nothing major encountered.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

It's better than others.

It's the best I've encountered.

We previously used virtual server infrastructure backup solution.

It was simple and straightforward.

We implemented it through a Veeam engineer, unfortunately the level of expertise was not the best.

We also looked at Nakivo.

It's the best solution for a VMware environment.

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.

VM Replication, Individual item restore.

Improved virtual infrastructures backup and recovery.

Backup of Physical could be improved. Additionally, customer service needs improvement.

2 years.

Customer service needs improvement.

Good.

Initial setup for Virtual was bit complex.

In-house.

My primary use case is as a physical environment for cloud protection in different public clouds.

The most valuable feature is the internal recovery.

In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included.

I have been using this solution for about four years.

This product is very, very stable.

This product is pretty scalable and flexible.

The technical support is pretty good and is available in English and Spanish in Latin America.

The initial setup was very simple and took about an hour.

Licensing is available both annually and monthly, with no additional fees.

I would rate this solution as ten 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.
