Veeam Data Platform Reviews

Protection of virtual workloads.

• Rotating HDDs for offline backups use case
• Instant VM recovery with vPower NFS and SureBackup, also known as Recovery Assurance by other vendors.

• Relying on open source infrastructure for Veeam's architectural components instead of Microsoft for OS and DB.
• Support for containers, and agent-less KVM backups, and Citrix environments.

It’s very simple to implement and use. It is agentless. It is integrated with HPE storage solutions (SAN and a deduplicated repository) and it supports instant VM recovery.

We have significantly improved the restore process of single items, like an Exchange Mailbox with a very simple wizard-driven process.

It requires a Windows Server, but it would be a good idea to have an appliance with no Microsoft license required. As of now, there’s no chance to backup NAS shares (CIFS/NFS).

I have known and used Veeam Backup and Replication from v6 in 2011.

There were no stability issues in my experience.

There were some issues with repository scalability in legacy versions.

The technical support team is professional and competent. I would give technical support a rating of 9/10.

We used Symantec Backup Exec and CA Arcserve. We changed because there was a lack of features specific for a virtualization environment. Arcserve has a complex way to backup Exchange.

The price is adequate for the quality of the product. There are several editions/licenses that start from basic functionality (Standard Edition) to the edition that includes maximum integration (Enterprise Plus). I would recommend considering at least the Enterprise Edition.

We try to use both Symantec Backup Exec and CA Arcserve.

Only consider the Availability Suite if you need to monitor your virtual environment within backup processes and you have nothing implemented on it.

The fact that it comes with backup and replication is a must. The integration with EMC Data Domain and similar products is also a very good feature. The same can be said about the backups from storage snapshots.

We use Veeam with EMC Data Domain. This allowed us to simplify our backup processes and enable us to have faster and more streamlined backup jobs. It's also easier to manage than our previous solution with huge space savings. Since Veeam also allows us to replicate machines we use that feature in a way that provide us more flexibility when we need to test some updates or changes without risking our production environment.

The downside is when you need to backup physical servers as usually most organizations aren't running a 100% virtualized environment so that can be an issue. Another issue is when clients have file level data on storage and need or want to backup using NDMP as I believe that this isn't supported yet.

We had no issues deploying it.

There have been no performance issues.

It's been able to scale for our needs.

It's simple to install and configure.

If most, or all, of your environment is based on virtual machines and you want something that is simple to install, configure and manage but above all else, something that backups and restores your data successfully then Veeam is your product.

The speed of performing backups and restores. It's super fast.

We looked for the best solution to get backups of our VM without downtime, and I found this was the best solution. We highly recommend it for virtual servers.

It could be so nice and useful if Veeam had a feature to enable backup of physical servers, especially physical Linux servers. This image-based backup would be an improvement.

I've been using it for three years.

Some little issues with logs which were fixed after updates.

No issues encountered yet.

No issues encountered.

10/10.

10/10.

It was very easy.

I rolled out this service to a meteorology organization.

I tried Symantec system recovery, but Veeam is really faster and user friendly.

This is the number one product for backups and restorations of VMs in an enterprise environment.

The backup and replication ability.

Backups and restores are completed very fast. Also, it takes less time for backups than previously.

Active Directory, because if we could restore GPO as a single level object as well as restoring AD schema partition through backup then I think it will be great product.

I've been using it alongside Veeam Backup and Replication four years.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

It is very good.

Technical support is also very good.

We are using both solutions right now.

It is straightforward to install and easy to configure and backup too.

I implemented it myself.

I think almost 80%.

It is just the license cost. and after that there is no cost except for support maintenance.

Yes we did.

It is a nice product.

Backup.

Improved backup and recovery speeds, ease of use.

Problems occur using VMware based snapshots.

4 years.

No.

Nothing serious, fixed quickly via patch.

No.

Was excellent now very good.

Good+.

BackupExec, not good enough support for VM backup.

Straightforward.

I am a certified integrator, so in-house.

Integrator.

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.

We have found instant recovery to be a valuable feature. 

There should be better use of the external hard drives. 

We have been using Veeam Backup and Replication for the past year. 

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. 

I consider the solution's technical support to be excellent, perfect.

While I used to work with other products whose names I cannot recall, I prefer to work with those of Veeam.

The initial setup was easy.

The price of the solution could be lower.

We pay for the solution annually, particularly as relates to the cloud version.

The solution is deployed both on-premises and to the cloud.

There are 1,500 people making use of it.

We require one person for its maintenance.

While the documentation is good enough, it should be properly read. A person should read the manual and be experienced with the infrastructure of his computers and company servers.

I rate Veeam Backup and Replication as an eight out of ten.
