Efficient for data protection and simple to use
Pros and Cons
- "For me, it's perfect. We don't have any problems with backups and applications."
- "We had one problem once with the network."
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
For data recovery, we do some tests. We haven't had any problems yet. The tests we've done work fine.
What is most valuable?
For me, it's perfect. We don't have any problems with backups and applications.
Immutability is the most important aspect of data protection in terms of Veeam Data Platform. That could be one critical factor for us.
Data protection is the most valuable aspect.
What needs improvement?
We had one problem once with the multinet in the network, but it wasn't a big problem. It was a problem with the network itself. That is the only problem we have had.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for two years. We use the current application tool, the new one, that's the tool server that I use.
How are customer service and support?
I personally haven't requested any support, but my coworker has and says it's good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have also been using Veeam ONE for about two years to monitor traffic and jobs. So, mainly as a monitoring tool.
We use it to monitor everything. We don't have any other tool like it. We used to use vRealize Operations Manager, but we don't have that anymore. That's why we use Veeam ONE. It's easy to view all the infrastructure.
How was the initial setup?
The infrastructure we have is simple.
So, the initial setup is very easy as our environment isn't complicated.
We finished the deployment in about three weeks. We didn't deploy the solution solely for the strategy part. It took us three weeks because it wasn't a priority for us when we deployed the solution. So, the deployment time could have been less.
We didn't have any problems with integration into our existing ecosystem.
In my opinion, maintenance is very simple. We don't have any problems with updates.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is not expensive.
What other advice do I have?
I would give it a ten out of ten because I haven't had any problems with maintenance. It's very simple and our environment is also very simple.
So for simple use, it's a very good tool and fulfills all our needs.
I highly recommend it.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

A tool that offers a sophisticated interface that makes the monitoring part easier
Pros and Cons
- "The product's initial setup phase was straightforward for me."
- "The user experience can be better, as it is one of the areas with shortcomings in the product."
What is our primary use case?
I use Veeam ONE in my company to provide customer backup reports if required. Veeam ONE is also useful for monitoring any issues with the current server. My company views logs from Veeam ONE to see if there is any solution that we can give to customers. My company uses Veeam ONE to look at what advice we can give customers to ensure that all their servers are always protected.
How has it helped my organization?
The benefit I get from the product is that it is a sophisticated monitoring tool that helps our company's team, along with the infrastructure team, view the current status of all the servers monitored with Veeam ONE.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of the solution is that it offers a very sophisticated interface to view, making it a bit easier for our company's operations team to take care of the monitoring part involving the current status of the server and server backup status.
What needs improvement?
I think there are no suggestions from my end for an improvement of Veeam ONE.
The user experience can be better, as it is one of the areas with shortcomings in the product.
I feel Veeam ONE has no downsides apart from its reporting area, which can be improved in such a way that its users can customize more of the report templates in an in-depth manner. I think there are improvements in Veeam ONE that I can see, including the tool's area that provides more flexibility in generating reports for its customers to view.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Veeam ONE for more than a year. My company operates as a system integrator of the product.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
For my current usage, Veeam ONE is pretty stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Veeam ONE is a really scalable solution.
Veeam ONE is used by one of my company's customers.
How are customer service and support?
At times, my company contacts the solution's technical support. My company's support for Veeam ONE is similar to the one we get for the backup solution from Veeam. The suggestions provided by Veeam's support team have been very useful for my company. Veeam's support team provides users with a nice view of the usability of Veeam ONE.
I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
For monitoring purposes, my company uses a free, open-source solution like Zabbix. Compared to Zabbix, I feel Veeam ONE can be more useful for monitoring purposes.
Compared to Zabbix, I feel Veeam ONE has no downsides apart from its reporting area, which can be improved.
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase was straightforward for me.
I do not have any experience in the deployment process of Veeam ONE.
The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.
What was our ROI?
To date, I have seen a return on investment from the use of Veeam ONE in my company. The ROI is quite high considering the value Veeam ONE provides its users.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
For now, I think the pricing of Veeam ONE is quite okay for any of the infrastructures, especially for those who want a backup system and a tool that provides monitoring services.
What other advice do I have?
People can look at Veeam ONE if they want one application to provide them with a sophisticated monitoring tool and useful backup reports easily.
I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

A scalable and seamless product that is user-friendly and provides excellent support
Pros and Cons
- "The solution is very user-friendly."
- "It would be better if the solution presented the number of servers and the success rate on the dashboard."
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for the backup of the servers on-premise. We also use it to back up our mailbox.
What is most valuable?
The solution is very user-friendly. I find the compression rate to be very good. It's very easy to go through the restoration process to locate an individual file.
What needs improvement?
It would be better if the solution presented the number of servers and the success rate on the dashboard. Currently, we have to click on user history or get it through emails.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable and seamless. We have about 80 users in our organization.
How are customer service and support?
The support is good. When I had an issue, the team was very receptive and provided the assistance required through remote sessions. It was very, very good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were using Backup Exec. We then switched to Veeam ONE because it is very practical and has different applications integrated with it.
How was the initial setup?
The deployment took two days.
What about the implementation team?
The service providers did the implementation. The solution is easy to maintain. The number of people required for maintenance depends on the size of the business. We need one person to maintain the product in our organization.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I find the pricing to be okay. We have to pay for the license yearly. There are no additional costs associated with the product.
What other advice do I have?
Veeam ONE is a very good product. The usage depends on our organization, whether we're using Linux or Windows. It's compatible with all. The product is seamless. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Automatically adapts to your environment, offers one-click restore, and we are pleased with the support
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
- "They need full cloud integration such that an on-premises backup can be offloaded to the cloud for storage."
What is our primary use case?
The main use case is performing a backup of a virtualized environment.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on. It can auto-configure backup transport, whether it be a direct-attach or network-based.
It has one-click restores and instant recovery, which is important because if a product doesn't have a good restore and recovery capability, then the backup is pretty much useless.
What needs improvement?
They need full cloud integration such that an on-premises backup can be offloaded to the cloud for storage. It is my understanding that they are focusing on solidifying that now. Everybody wants to be able to integrate with the cloud.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the Veeam Backup & Replication solution for 12 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Around the first quarter of this year, they rolled out release 10. The last stable version was 9.5 Update 4, and since the release of version 10, they just rolled out the first update, which is 10 Alpha.
Version 10a has a lot of fixes. For the most part, it's a very fluent software, and very stable. However, some of the new features, when they're trying to roll them out, they seem to have to do the updates just to stabilize those.
Over the years they've had some minor bugs, but nothing that stands out in the crowd compared to anything else because everybody else has the same issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
This is a scalable product.
How are customer service and technical support?
I've been very, very pleased with the Veeam software tech support. When you call in, you actually get a live person and they are typically able to assist you or direct you to second-tier support if it's above their typical area of expertise.
How was the initial setup?
The complexity of the initial setup depends on the environment and whether it is an all-in-one or distributed. For an all-in-one situation, it can be very straightforward. You just install it and press next, next, next. You will get everything you need and a fully functional product.
In a distributed setup, you have a couple of components that are external to the server that you're loading the main software on. This is a database server and reporting server, as well as an enterprise managing component. With these additional components, you have just a little bit more configuration. They're not that complex and I've actually done some other backups in the past that were more complex.
Overall, it is pretty straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
In the company that I work for, we have a managed services group. So, our backup and engineering team for managing other environments are also are skilled at doing Veeam.
We have a lot of customers that use Veeam, and I'm the installer implementer. I implement these solutions and do upgrades to them. There are a couple of us who are field engineers, and either of us can maintain and deploy updates.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My understanding is that it is a fairly small price point. They have two different models, where one is based on the sockets that you're protecting, and the other is based on instances, or servers. You can choose whichever model works best for you.
What other advice do I have?
I think that this is a good product across any environment. I've installed it for schools, in the financial industry, for lawyers, and places that vary in size from small to large. I've never had any issues and I recommend it.
I know that there are always new features being released but at this point, there is nothing to say that I need anything more. That said, there is always room for improvement.
I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Flag as inappropriateOffers detailed reports to users, and it is easy to maintain
Pros and Cons
- "The solution's most valuable feature is that its reports are detailed compared to other tools."
- "I feel that the product's support team needs improvement."
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution in my company to monitor the backup status and to plan in areas like capacity planning, such as how much current backup utilization is used. The tool can maybe predict the future trend of the data groups and their growing size.
What is most valuable?
The solution's most valuable feature is that its reports are detailed compared to other tools. It can integrate with VMware, and it can see VMware's recent status while it can receive alerts for Veeam Backup. The tool can be highly integrated with VMware and other Veeam solutions. Reporting-wise, the product is good. You can choose any templates for your report from the solution's consolidated data.
What needs improvement?
The tool should add more hypervisors inside it, like Hyper-V or Nutanix since it is an area of concern in the solution currently.
I feel that the product's support team needs improvement.
I feel that there are some new features in the new version of the product, which is Veeam ONE 12.1, and it also has some anti-malware functionalities. I have not found the new features in the product to be useful because it has so many false positives. The product needs to be integrated with some antivirus solution so that its new features can be used in a better way.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Veeam ONE for three to four years. My company has a partnership with Veeam ONE.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
So far, my company has not had any issues with the product in terms of stability. We have installed the product and it runs properly without any major issues.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support is satisfactory. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
My company uses Arcserve and some products from China, like Vinchin. Acronis was also a solution that was used in my company in the past. So far, we found that Veeam ONE is quite good compared to other products. Veeam ONE is balanced in terms of its interface, backup design concepts, and backup infra.
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase was quite straightforward.
One person can manage the product's installation phase.
The solution can be deployed in two to three hours. You just let it run with SQL and some other things. The installation process is quite straightforward. I just follow the installation steps, and it can be done easily.
What was our ROI?
I have seen some time-saving benefits from the use of the product in my country, up to 20 to 30 percent.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I consider that the product's price falls under the middle range category.
What other advice do I have?
The solution is easy to maintain, but so far, we didn't have any major issues with the tool.
Actually, in our organization, we didn't go for any compliance parts with the tool. For our customers, we went for some audit purposes to meet some compliance requirements. Veeam ONE can generate some particular compliance report files from its users' available data.
I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Our clients use Veeam Data Platform for backup and replication.
What is most valuable?
Veeam Data Platform copies data very efficiently. Our clients choose the solution because it is simple and inexpensive.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.
What about the implementation team?
The solution's deployment time really depends on the size of the project. Depending on the size of the project, it may take days or weeks.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten.

Veeam Data Platform is very flexible and provides many options for storing data on several different platforms, depending on what the customer wants to achieve. The solution's deployment requires two people, including a networking and storage person. Managing the solution takes a quarter of an FTE or one.
