Veeam Data Platform Reviews

• Centralized backup
• Remote WAN backup copy
• Replica
• Physical server backup.

If it backs up, then I'm sure it will restore!

• Application awareness (via Windows VSS Writers, Oracle RMAN integration, etc.)
• Quick migration.

Dedupe capabilities.

Backup and replication.

Great RPO and RTO.

Replication.

Cross-hypervisor replication.

• Detailed monitoring and alerting (I loved the advanced monitoring and reporting at my previous organization)

Previously, the infrastructure was configured and backed up at the application level and configuration changes were not replicated. With replication at the infrastructure level now, we don't have to worry about configuration changes.

• Monitoring of Xen- and KVM-based virtualization

I have used it for approximately over one year.

I have not encountered any stability issues.

I have not scaled it until now.

I have not used technical support.

I did not previously use a different solution.

Initial setup was simple.

It’s a great tool and management should consider spending money for it, as it eases a lot of complexities.

I have been using the free version but would definitely opt for the paid version if management approves it.

Before choosing this product, I did not evaluate other options.

It’s a simple and reliable solution, especially as I have experience with VMware products (ESXi).

Ease of use, it's simple to backup and restore.

Backups don't fail often which saves time and data.

Backing up Exchange could be better, particularly Clustered Exchange.

No

No

No

No issues.

Excellent, their support is fast and efficient.

Backup Exec, I was looking for something designed for Virtual Machines.

In VMWare it's really fast. For Hyper V it took some tooling around.

In-House.

I didn't measure it but it saves me tons of time and no data loss so it has likely paid for itself many times over.

Unitrends

Do it, it's a great product and is easy to use.

The solution can be used to backup databases. For example, from Windows, Linux, and Oracle. It is sometimes used by government organizations for email backup. 

The solution is easy to use and have good performance.

The data duplication should be improved.

I have been using the solution for a long time.

I have found the solution to be stable.

The solution is scalable.

The technical support has not been good in my experience. They need to have faster and more reliable support for this solution.

The installation was straightforward for me since I have done it before. It might not be for first time users. The time for the installation all depends on the environment.

We have one technician for the maintenance and deployment.

There is a license required for this solution and the price is a bit expensive but it depends on the environment that you have on how much it will cost.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication a seven out of ten.

• Simple VM backup & restore management console
• Works with both industry standard hypervisors, VMware & Hyper-V
• Fast and easy implementation
• Granular restore points for SharePoint

It provides simple DR operation & management for our heterogeneous virtualisation platform.

Besides Wintel environments, it would be good to have DR/HA for Unix/Linux platforms.

I have been using it for 1½ years.

We have not had any issues with deployment, stability, or scalability.

Customer service is awesome.

Initial setup was straightforward because it only provides DR.

Project implementation was via a vendor team.

We evaluated Availl software, because of their Wide Area File System technology.

My primary use case for Veeam Data Platform is for backup, implementation of failover plans, and backup of data both on-premise and on cloud. I use it for backup Active Directory, backup Office 365, and other similar tasks.

All features of Veeam Data Platform, such as backup, immutability, and replication, are highly valuable. It supports the backup of Active Directory and Office 365. 

The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers. 

My organization appreciates its scalability, simple acquisitions of licenses for expansion, and how easily it integrates with different vendors.

The database backup process could be improved. It would be beneficial to enhance this feature and also consider the addition of a web interface to increase accessibility. 

Additionally, the cost model could be adjusted, particularly the price of licenses, as reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.

I have worked with Veeam Data Platform for between two to three years.

There are no issues with stability in Veeam Data Platform. It operates smoothly, although some configurations or personalization might require attention.

Scalability is quite simple and user-friendly. It involves acquiring additional licenses as needed. Integration with other vendors is also seamless.

I have not had much interaction with Veeam's technical support as I work more closely with sellers. However, from what I understand, Veeam provides good support and I have no complaints.

Neutral

I have also worked a little with Storage Dorado 3000 or Dorado San Protect.

The initial setup of Veeam Data Platform is very easy and user-friendly. On a scale of one to ten, where ten is very easy, I would rate the setup as 7.5 out of ten.

I handle the implementation myself, so there was no external team involved.

The pricing of Veeam Data Platform is based on packs rather than by individual units or users. A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.

I would recommend potential users of Veeam Data Platform to be aware that it is a user-friendly, all-inclusive solution compatible with a wide range of market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers. 

I rate the solution eight out of ten overall.
