Satisfactory solution with great backup and restoration features
Pros and Cons
  • "Veeam ONE is the best and the most mature solution for hypervisors and physical machines."
  • "There is a bug that prevents enabling the restore button, which is hectic."

What is our primary use case?

We use it to back up and restore our virtual machine in a live environment without restoring the complete virtual machine. It just mounts its storage to the NFS and makes the machine live in seconds. That is our favourite feature in Veeam ONE.


What is most valuable?

In the past, we used NAKIVO for our backup replication, and the main problem was that their backups were unverified and, most of the time, were corrupted. But the backup in Veeam ONE is good, and we are satisfied that the backups are also accurate and stable.

What needs improvement?

When we install an application, we have backups available in another drive and have to import those backups into the machine. Sometimes, rarely, there is a bug that prevents enabling the restore button, which is hectic. We then have to go into the folder and double-click to fix the issue. However, improvements can be made to prevent the bugs and improve restoration and importing of previous backups into the new one.

I don't think any additional features are required as it is already packed with many features.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for approximately five years and are using the latest version. We always keep our versions updated. It is deployed on-premises.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the stability a nine out of ten. So we like the solution, but I can't rate it a ten because there is room for improvement.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the scalability a ten out of ten because it is scalable even using Google Cloud or Amazon Web Services. It is also scalable on-premises. Only our organization's manager and deputy manager have the right to operate this solution. We have plans to expand use as the data center keeps expanding.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward, and Veeam ONE requests prerequisites and installs them without the internet. That is a big bonus, with those prerequisites packaged in each setup. It is also pretty straightforward for someone unfamiliar with the solution.

Deployment was done in-house. Our data center does not have a big workload, so we use the Veeam ONE backend application and community edition. It is free, and if any issue arises, it can be solved with a Google search. It took three people and around 40 minutes to complete the deployment. One person can complete the rack installation of physical hardware.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It's free of cost for up to ten workloads, which is a big benefit for a small data center.

What other advice do I have?

I rate this solution a nine out of ten. My advice to a new user is to go for the community edition. It is more than sufficient compared to Acronis or NAKIVO. Veeam ONE is the best and the most mature solution for hypervisors and physical machines.

Effective on-premise backups, reliable, and good technical support
Pros and Cons
  • "The backups we have been receiving from Veeam Backup Replication on-premise have been good."
  • "The cloud backups from Veeam Backup Replication have not been good. Addiotnaally, the backups of Office 365 and the overall performance can always be improved."

What is our primary use case?

I am using Veeam Backup Replication for backups.

What is most valuable?

The backups we have been receiving from Veeam Backup Replication on-premise have been good.

What needs improvement?

The cloud backups from Veeam Backup Replication have not been good. Addiotnaally, the backups of Office 365 and the overall performance can always be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Veeam Backup Replication for approximately seven years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have not encountered any problems with the stability of Veeam Backup Replication.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is good from Veeam Backup Replication.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support from Veeam Backup Replication is good.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Veeam Backup Replication can be quite expensive for Office 365 because its license is per user and not for the space that you use. You need one license for each user. If the user only uses a few files on one hard drive, you need a license to back up these files. It was better to have a license model, such as in the Cohesity solution. Cohesity has a license for a space that you use. It's more useful in this case because the license for backup data is on-premises is for CPU. The license is based on how many CPUs you have but it does not depend on how many users use the CPU. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have evaluated Cohesity. I have a demo version that they gave me.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Veeam Backup Replication an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Protects our server data in an affordable way
    Pros and Cons
    • "The advantage of Veeam Backup and Replication is that it is very economical. The price is affordable and the cost benefit is good."
    • "My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss."

    What is our primary use case?

    My company is an end user customer of Veeam Backup and Replication and we use it for storing and protecting our server backups.

    What is most valuable?

    The advantage of Veeam Backup and Replication is that it is very economical. The price is affordable and the cost benefit is good.

    What needs improvement?

    My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss.

    Beyond improving on the security measures, I don't have further expectations for Veeam Backup and Replication.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Veeam Backup and Replication for two years. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I have no doubts about the stability of Veeam. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    At the moment it is not necessary for us to scale up our usage of Veeam but I can say that I believe it is very capable of being scaled, should the need arise.

    How are customer service and support?

    The support we get is very helpful, but it is not through Veeam directly. We use a Veeam partner called Netgroup Solutions to help us and they have been good.

    How was the initial setup?

    The installation of Veeam Backup and Replication was very easy. 

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    A nice aspect of Veeam's pricing is that the cost benefit is good. It's very economical.

    What other advice do I have?

    Veeam Backup and Replication is a good product and I would rate it a ten out of ten.
