Veeam Data Platform Reviews

We use this solution to back up our two VMware sites, and some physical boxes.

Mainly, it is used for our two VM sites at either campus.

It works with the client. We have it on a clustered SQL which works well.

We have local backups at either site, as well as some backups going to an external storage appliance. It gives us information about what is going on.

We are also using replication.

It has improved the way that our organizations function.

It's fairly easy to manage and set up. 

Once you get it working, it's fairly reliable and fixes itself. It's pretty good at keeping the backups running.

It works well with SharePoint.

The initial setup could be simplified. It takes a bit to find the documentation. 

It takes some time to get through the knowledge base and the changes in the versions over time.

Trying to find everything on how to configure it and set it up can get frustrating in trying to sort it out.

I have been using this solution for three to four years.

I am using version 10.

This solution is stable. Once we have all of the backups working, it never has any issues, except for the server going off, but that is a network issue or during the time that it's self-healing.

It keeps going and keeps running.

It's a scalable solution. I added one. We have a couple of proxies at either campus with one backup server with an enterprise manager on it. It works well.

I am the only person in our organization who is using this solution.

I have used technical support in three or four cases. They were able to help me. They are pretty good. I would rate them a nine out of ten.

We were using Microsoft Data Protection Manager and NetBackup. We decided to go with Veeam after testing it out, as it seemed to work better than the other products we were using.

The initial setup is okay. 

It just took a while to try to sort out what is going on with it.

Review the documentation and their knowledge base on how to set it up and configure it. 

It takes a bit to get it sorted out and to figure it out, but once you get it working it just keeps working.

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

The solution is used primarily for backup and replication.

The solution is the best product to backup and replicate in a real-time virtual platform.

This is the only product in the world that can do the two actions. 

You can use a snapshot from many types of storage and restores granular items and functionality from the exchange, email, or any active data storage object. 

You can do instant recovery, which is quite helpful. If you have any problems, you can start your Veeam from the backup and use it to restore, and it will do it in the background.

The solution is very easy to deploy.

The solution scales quite well. The performance has been good.

We've found the solution to be very stable so far.

Overall, it's a very good product.

The pricing could be improved. They should work to make it less expensive.

In one case, the solution did not support a backup from EIX Unix from IBM. This is the only handicap I've found in relation to the product.

I've been using the solution for about three years at this point. It's been a while.

The solution is quite stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's quite reliable. The performance is good.

We've deployed the solution for 10 to 20 customers.

The solution can scale. If a company needs to expand, it can do so.

I've had some previous experience with technical support, and I don't really have any complaints. They were knowledgeable and responsive and I would say I've been satisfied with their assistance overall.

The solution is very easy to deploy. It's one of the selling points of the product.

The pricing is increasingly becoming more and more expensive. In 2020, it was a good price. After the last version, 10, the price has been very, very high.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten overall. If it weren't for the pricing issues, I'd likely rate it higher. It's a really great solution in general.

For virtualization it's perfect.

The solution is very simple to install. The support and maintenance are also very easy.

The solution can scale.

For the most part, the stability is okay.

The solution is pretty much the same as a solution such as Comet, however, the only difference is that this is a bit weaker and not so strong at covering the applications and the physical servers side.

This solution is very young and they don't have a lot of references. 

For physical servers and some applications like SAP and databases, they're less good.

It's not quite as secure as Comet.

The pricing could be better.

I've been using the solution for more than five years.

The stability is okay. It's not as good as Comet. Veeam is stable, however, it's not quite optimized correctly.

The solution is scalable, however, Comet is better in this regard. That said, if a company would like to expand, they can do so.

We have about 2,000 users on the solution. We have about 15 customers using the product.

Technical support is fine. They are helpful and responsive. We're satisfied with the level of service they provide.

I've also used Comet, which I would describe as better almost across the board, except for the virtualization.

The installation is pretty easy. It's not too complex.

It's 20% faster to install than Comet. It doesn't take too long to deploy.

Once everything is set up, it's very easy to maintain everything.

The solution keeps getting more and more expensive. They should work on the pricing.

Every year, they seem to raise the price by 10-15%. They used to be cheap. Now they are costly.

We have the solution deployed both on-premises and on the cloud.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We're quite satisfied with the solution overall.

I'd recommend this solution to others.

The solution offers a strong performance, higher than Acronis. It has a high level of compatibility with the majority of applications such as Nutanix and others. 

The backup of the device could be improved and it's also quite an expensive solution, more expensive than Acronis. 

I've been using this solution for five years. 

Veeam provides decent customer service. 

I've used HiQ and Quest NetVault, and like them both.

I rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

We use Veeam Backup & Replication to backup, restore and replicate data across our storage locations.

I know it's not exactly a feature, but I accept it works and it's easy to use. With Veeam Backup & Replication, we have no problems in managing restore. Obviously, the most important thing about backup software. I used to say that every backup software can make backups, but only good ones can make a restore.

The features that we use most of Veeam Backup & Replication are SQL backup and tape backup. For us, tape backup is really important because we have to keep all our data on the site. We cannot use it for our sites in terms of policies or a cloud backup. We are using tape backup as a secondary repository. We use the tapes regularly. We also make a regular list of tests for tapes and are quite happy with how we are managing the process.

It's hard to answer because managing cloud storage in our version could be better, but now that they have improved it in the recent version, I cannot say it's a better point because I know it should be already fixed.

My point of view is not general but in particular because I can only tell you about the things that we need. For the things that we need, I mostly SQL backup, we have no issues with Veeam Backup & Replication. It's difficult to answer because I am waiting to try new features in the next version that we plan to install next month. So, I can't answer before I try these additional features that I will find in the next version.

I have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for the past four years.

For our space, we are using not only Veeam Backup & Replication but also Veeam ONE for monitoring, not only backups but for the environment. We have alerts if we have any problems with the backups. The only problem we are facing sometimes with Windows backup is that it is not large enough for periodic full backups, but this is not the problem of Veeam Backup & Replication, it is a problem of our environment. Veeam Backup & Replication end synthetic backups the following day without requiring a configuration plan and full backup.

When we had Windows problems, Veeam Backup & Replication had no problem at all. It also manages other problems with no intervention.

We used the service of the Veeam technical support once on the fifth day after installation, and it was a good experience. But that was a few years ago, so I can't tell you how their support works now. Fortunately, we didn't need to consult for the rest of the year.

We have used IBM Cloud Backup before, and one of the reasons that pushed us to change the Veeam Backup & Replication was that IBM Cloud Backup was really difficult to use. We have been using it for almost 10 years only to visualize the environment. When we started with IBM Cloud Backup, we also had physical servers. We currently don't have any physical servers. This is another reason we moved to a new generation backup solution.

Veeam Backup & Replication is absolutely straightforward. We had some issues with the initial setup, but it is normal. The initial hardware configuration of the tape library was unclear because we are using a fibre genetic library, so we needed to configure our storage as a network, to have a Windows Server point, exact point contact to the library. However, once the Windows Server manages the tape library, Veeam Backup & Replication has no problems at all. We are using Windows drivers and not native Veeam drivers to manage the library.

It's a proper price, as it isn't an issue for what Veeam Backup & Replication is giving us. Obviously, we are paying licensing for our physical VMware environment. It also depends on how the VMware environment is on the side. We have a few very big nodes. So, we need a few licenses and maybe if people had more nodes and sockets and each node was managing less information, machine supplies could be different.

We are a managed service provider and we run a cloud backup company. We provide cloud backup services for customers and our primary platform is Veeam. 

The primary reason that we use Veeam is the market share.

There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud. It wasn't designed for it but we're making it work.

We have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for 10 years.

There are bugs and other things that go wrong in almost any environment, although it's not that there's anything wrong with the product. That's just life in IT.

Scalability-wise, it is okay, although it could be better.

We use it internally, although it revolves around our clients.

Technical support is good and I would rate them a seven out of ten. The rating would improve if they were better at following up.

The initial setup is complex. Our is a very large project to run in the cloud.

We have our own Veeam certified engineers who deploy and maintain it.

We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Veeam each year, although it is not expensive for what we get.

The licensing is something that could be improved.

We have evaluated other solutions but Veeam is the best for virtualization.

My advice for anybody who is considering Veeam is that it's a good product. We do not have an environment that is user-centric, where I can make specific suggestions otherwise.

We are currently using version 10 and plan to move to version 11 within the next two months.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We use Veeam ONE to get a better view of our virtualized environment. To see what is happening there.

For me, the most important feature is alerting. I know when something goes wrong, I get an alert.

The user interface is quite extended, and sometimes it's difficult to find the right information. Once you know and are familiar with it, it's okay.

The user interface could be simplified. There is a lot of information, so maybe the dashboards could consolidate it.

I have been using Veeam ONE for two or three years.

I recently updated to the latest version.

It stays running, so I don't have to put a lot of time there. 

I updated recently and it keeps running.

Occasionally, I go to the dashboard to see that there are not many alerts showing. It's stable.

I have a rather small environment so I haven't had to use this feature. 

I assume that it is scalable, but I have never tested it.

I have not used technical support while using Veeam ONE, but for other products from Veeam I have, and I am happy with their support. They are fast, and their response is very good.

I use Office 365, Veeam Cloud Connect, and Veeam ONE in my Data Center.

The initial setup and installation were very straightforward.

It took less than an hour to deploy. 

I completed the deployment and implemented it myself.

We have a license combined with my other Veeam licenses.

For what it does, the price is acceptable.

I recommend using Veeam ONE. I see more positive things than negative ones.

I would rate Veeam ONE an eight out of ten.

We use Veeam Backup and Replication for the virtual server. 

The documentation is very good. It's also easy to install Veeam Backup and Replication. They have also introduced a Continous Data Protection (CDP) feature, which is very good.

I don't see much room for improvement except that the price could be better. 

I have been in a partnership with Veeam for about four years.

Veeam Backup and Replication is a stable product.

Veeam Backup and Replication is a scalable solution.

Technical support is good.

We use Commvault for the standalone server and VMware for different sites.

The initial setup and implementation are straightforward. 

Two of us can deploy this solution depending on the use case. Usually, one person is enough to maintain Veeam.

The license is a bit expensive.

I would recommend this product to potential users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Veeam Backup and Replication an eight.
