Veeam Data Platform Reviews

The most valuable feature of this product is its very fast recovery.

I would like a solution for SAP systems to be included in the next release.

I've been using this solution for around ten years.

The product is stable and reliable.

This solution is easy to scale.

The initial setup was quite straightforward.

I implemented through an integrator.

This solution is very user-friendly and easily recoverable. I would rate this product as seven out of ten.

I use the solution for many environments involving various projects. 

The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication, which works fine. Its environments are good. It is easy to manage and allows one to easily migrate in different data center sites and firewalls. 

The price is an issue. If one has a large number of servers, say... 100-plus, and wishes to add more, an exhausted budget may hinder this ability. This is the only issue of note. 

I have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for one year. 

The solution should have a more cost-effective price. This can be an issue if one wishes to expand on a large number of servers, such as those exceeding 100, but does not have the budget to do so. 

The solution's backup extension is easily manageable and its reporting tool is easy to manage by name and to read. 

My role is that of a customer.

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

We use Veeam Backup Replication for small businesses with on average 100 virtual machines.

The most valuable features I have found to be Instant Recovery, quick restore and rollback, and asynchronous copy. It is a complete solution for our needs.

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

The stability is good.

Veeam Backup Replication is scalable. We adapt with many hardware and storage vendors, with no problems at all.

The technical support is responsive and every time I have contacted them I received a quick and definitive solution to many problems.

We to the implementation of the solution.

The licensing is the worst part of Veeam Backup Replication because for the more complex situations and it's quite difficult and complex. In particular, when mixing different requirements the licensing model is complex. For example, mixing a virtual machine backup and a file server backup in the same installation can be somewhat difficult and is expensive.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication a ten out of ten.

Veeam ONE is used to backup environments, virtual environments, monitoring backups, infrastructure, and virtual and physical infrastructure.

I have found the most valuable feature to be the configuration and ease of use.

Veeam ONE could improve by having capacity planning, intelligent automatization, and ransomware.

I have been using Veeam ONE for approximately six years.

We have approximately 20 customers using this solution.

We have three people in my company that uses this solution.

The support of Veeam ONE is good.

The initial installation was simple, and it took us approximately 30 minutes to do.

We had some consultants help us with the implementation.

Backup speed should be increased, and there should be more functionality.

Veeam's configuration is very complex in my opinion. I believe a more simplified configuration would be beneficial.

I have been working with Veeam Backup & Replication for four or five years.

Veeam Backup Replication is a stable product.

The technical support is good.

The initial setup is easy.

The price is reasonable.

I work as an engineer on enterprise threat systems rather than backup and restore; primary storage area.

I would rate Veeam Backup & Replication a nine out of ten.

We use the latest version, although I do not recall exactly which one.

We use the solution for our regular backups and replication. While I have proposed that we also use it for DR, I have been informed that this component in Veeam comes with a cost. Perhaps in the future we will do this. 

I like that the solution is very simple to install. The setup is not complex. 

The good thing about the solution is that it's easy to understand, implement and take back data and resources. It's not complex.

The solution is too expensive. While I feel the DR component to be very straightforward and simple, I have been informed by management that it is overly expensive, although I do not have the full financial information at my disposal to verify this on my own. 

The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate.

Ransomware attacks present an issue. Veeam should make it clear that the server needs to be out of the domain when it comes to ensuring that there is no ransomware attack or security breach. This is an issue of primary importance. An ex-colleague of mine told me that when a ransomware attack occurred, the re-set team, which dealt with a similar Veeam setup, ensured that the server was not part of the domain. Specifying that the server must be out of the domain will ensure that no ransomware attacks will occur. This needs to be locally authenticated. 

I have been using Veeam Backup & Replication over the course of the past year. 

It is easy to take back data and resources. 

I have not had occasion to make use of tech support, although this was utilized in my previous company, where I was doing incorporation consulting. 

The solution is very simple to install. It is not complex. The implementation is easy. 

While I do not have all the financial information at my disposal, I understand from management that the DR component is too expensive. 

We have around 5,000 employees using the solution in my organization. 

While the product is good, I would recommend that one be certain to have his Veeam server out of the domain. It should be locally authenticated.

I rate Veeam Backup & Replication as a seven out of ten. 

Its portability and being able to back up between different platforms are the most valuable features.

There is always some room for improvement, especially with some of the different technologies such as DB2. Commvault has a DB2 agent, but Veeam still doesn't have it. We have to use the universal one for it.

Although this is not really something that comes too much from the Veeam side, there could be more integration with the storage for snapshots. I know that some products that we use would need it, but I think that also comes more from the storage suppliers.

I have been using it for about 10 years.

It is stable.

It is very good at scalability.

Their support was very good when I needed support back in South Africa.

We currently are on Commvault, and we're also on Veeam, but we are busy putting forward a design to migrate from Commvault to Veeam for our company.

Its initial setup is easy.

I would rate it a nine out of 10.

We just are using it for backup and replication. Only two people at my company are working with it now because it is only a backup area. All the other products in my environment are not integrated with the tool. 

Veeam's biggest limitation is the lack of integration. I can't use the tool because there is no integration between the tool and the environment. Honestly, we can't use it with the rest of the environment— the hardware and software and so on. It's a huge problem.
We are just using it for backup monitoring. 

I've only been using Veeam for few months now.

Veeam is stable.

Veeam is scalable.

Setting up Veeam is easy, and it's portable, too.

Veeam is somewhat expensive, but it's affordable. For a backup and replication program, it might be expensive.

I would rate Veeam four out of 10.

We are using Veeam ONE to monitor our environment.

The solution is simple to use.

The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment.

I have been using this solution for approximately eight years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is highly scalable in the virtual environment.

The support team Veeam can be available 24 hours a day seven days a week depending on your license agreement. However, in Veeam ONE the support query availability is not as good as other solutions they offer.

Veeam ONE is straightforward to implement.

If you have Veeam Backup and Replication with the essential license then this solution is free. If you were to purchase Veeam ONE by itself it is priced cheaper than competitors.

I rate Veeam ONE a nine out of ten.

The solution provides great insights. Veeam ONE is like a consolidated monitoring and reporting solution for Veeam Backup Replication, and Hyper-V and VMware environments. It basically provides a pane of glass to monitor and report on both your backup infrastructure and your virtual infrastructure if it is Hyper-V or VMware. 

What I really like about it is that usually I would deploy it before I deploy Veeam Backup Replication to get insights on the environment that can help me avoid issues during the VOT or during the implementation of Veeam Backup Replication. For example, I can get insights to see if there is any bottleneck on the production storage on which the servers are residing.  If I need to back up, I can find out if the storage has very low space and if I trigger backups with Veeam or any other situation if I come and conduct a snapshot if it will likely cause a recall production issue.

Another really amazing feature I like about Veeam ONE is not just that it helps me plan the deployment and whatnot, in general. It can help me generate reports about the virtual environment that are totally unrelated to the backup. For example, I have one customer within the POC for Veeam Backup Replication and for Veeam ONE, the Veeam Availability Suite. They are using NetBackup. And they said, "Okay, we are okay with NetBackup. We don't need Veeam Backup Replication. But, We want Veeam ONE" This is due to the fact that once I integrated Veeam ONE, I was able to provide them insights into their environment that they had no clue about. For example, how much space is being utilized in the data center, what kind of data growth they're having in the data center, any issues in the infrastructure, and if there are areas for improvement.

Veeam ONE also recommends solutions for the issues. It can let you classify your data center. It will classify your systems and then report on them accordingly. Basically, it would provide many insights and monitor services. Some decision-makers are not into the technical aspects and whatnot. They're into the numbers and where they are right now, where they want to be, the loss options for capacity planning, et cetera.

It's strictly a reporting and monitoring solution for Veeam, Hyper-V, and Veeam Backup Replication. It's a monitoring solution for virtual data centers and backup in one console. Usually, reporting solutions do not have this functionality. You will have report decisions for VMware, however, they will not monitor the backups.

The solution is carefully designed to be easy to use - even if you're in a panic.

Technical support is great.

The solution can scale. 

They need to support more platforms. Right now, they support their Veeam Backup Replication product, which means they provide monitoring and visibility reporting to the backup infrastructure and the backup portion. However, for some people, they're not using VMware. They are not using Hyper-V, or they have other workloads. For example, they have Nutanix. Veeam can monitor the backups, which is part of Veeam Backup Replication, however, it cannot monitor Nutanix itself.

They also do not monitor physical workloads, for example, physical Windows Servers and physical Linux Servers. They report their backups. They monitor their backups through Veeam Backup Replication. They don't have server monitoring and reporting. That's where there is room for improvement.

The management software for Veeam ONE is installed only on Windows.

Recently, for some reason, a client didn't have the feature "offload backups to object storage", like Azure cloud storage, and for some reason, we were unable to locate any sort of particular report for that particular backup point. Having much more extensive backup reports would be great. They have a lot of backup reports which are great, and they have the option to create backup customer reports, however, it would be great to have additional reports along the way.

I've been using Veeam ONE also since version 9.5.

Veeam One is pretty scalable when it comes to VMware and the Hyper-V. It is scalable and has a modular architecture, just like Veeam Backup Replication. You can have the server run in one place and the client run in another. It works well.

Technical support is a tricky question. In general, if you're asking about Veeam when compared to other vendors, honestly speaking, the technical support response times are quite good. Support will vary by engineers, no matter which vendor you deal with. One day, I'll have a really bad engineer, the next I'll have an excellent one.  However, I evaluate more so based on response times, and as I've said, their response is always excellent. 

The solution is very straightforward to set up. It's a product that's designed to be easy to use, and implementing it is no exception.

Veeam has a suite called the Velamen Availability Suite. This Suite consists of two products; Veeam ONE and Veeam Backup Replication. Usually, we use these two products at the same time for different purposes.

I've been using the solution since version 9.5 and now it's on version 11.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.
