Veeam Data Platform Reviews

The ease of use and reliability of this solution are real assets. Also, it has an ease of use to work with a third party vendor.

The virtual sandboxes seem complex to setup so I have not invested time in leveraging this feature. It would be nice if this feature was more user-friendly.

This product has been very stable. Any issues that have come up are quickly resolved. 

I have not experienced issues with scalability. I have deployed Veeam in two different environments for different employers of mine and both have been very solid. I am currently using ExaGrid as my backend storage and it has worked very well with Veeam.

I would give the tech support team a rating of nine out of ten.

The initial setup was very straightforward. I actually had a POC backing up our entire data center to an old SAN setup within a day.

Veeam is the gold standard for backup and recovery. If you have a primary virtualized environment, it is a great choice. Veeam's agent for physical servers works well on our few remaining physical servers.

Transforming from the physical system to virtualization -- vSphere or Hyper-V, KVM and then monitoring reporting infrastructure.

The most important problem in the data center system is to monitor and calculate real-time, to be able to accurately forecast or monitor for troubleshooting (not all software can do it).

• Optimal calculations for storage systems for operation and backup on DCV, HCI
• Stability and VM loading of the data center.

We have problems with IOPS calculations real-time, uncontrollable IOPS of storage leads to storage infrastructure errors.

The additional features are: 

• Running control of both network and IOPS on physical infrastructure 
• Predicting compatibility requirements to transfer resources from physical to virtual to meet backup RPO and RTO within 15 minutes
• Especially adding application objects to backup VM cluster (Oracle RAC, SQL cluster, AD delegation, Exchange DAG, MySQL Cluster).

My primary use case for this product is for backups and reporting.

The most valuable feature is the reporting feature. It is a very visual product.

I think that the tech support could be improved a bit.

I would rate the tech support an eight out of ten. It needs improvement.

I was not present during the initial implementation of the product.

I would suggest to others that they buy the full license when purchasing this solution.

Recovering single emails from Exchange and single items from Active Directory.

A different kind of scheduling. We would like to do backup twice a day.

I've used it for one year.

Once we had an upgrade issue, but the excellent support from Veeam solved it fast.

No issues encountered.

5/5

We used MS Data Protection Center, but MS changed the deployment model. DPM became part of a bigger solution which did not fit our needs.

We are working with two backup servers. It took a little time to figure out how to take a backup of the backup.

We did it in-house.

No other options evaluated.

• Ease of use
• Reliability

It's improved backup recovery time significantly, and makes backup testing a breeze.

I can't think of any.

I've used it for five years.

No issues with deployment.

No issues with stability.

Used to use vRanger. Switched to Veeam as "it just works" as their slogan suggests.

Setup is straightforward. There are excellent installation and administration guides which help with this process.

We implemented it in-house.

• Backup Exec

For backup of VMware environments, you cant really go wrong with Veeam.

Two features are unmatched compared to other products: SureBackup and the possibility of Replication (and Virtual LAB). These are a “must”.

The tool SureBackup allows me to check, once a month in my case, the situation of my backups: I always have the truth about my backups. Regarding the tool Replication, we use it for customers who do not have large financial resources, while allowing us to have the opportunity to restore their ambient edi production in the shortest time possible.

There is always scope for improvement (in fact with the v8 version there will be improvements in fact!), But already it is great!

For 1 year.

The deployment of this product is the most simple there is. Following step by step instructions in 10 minutes is all set.

No problem of stability. At most problems can occur with very large volumes of data (for example, VM that occupy more than 7TB data ... but in this case, do not know how many other products fail to complete this operation).

It depends on the type of license you use.

Currently, we contacted the Customer Service who promptly provided us answers KB related. Little else (and I would say that is a good thing.)

Before using VEEAM, we were using Symantec Backup Exec. Unfortunately, it gave us many problems. Especially for some customers: it signaled the completion of backups, while in fact created only empty files.

As mentioned in a previous question, is extremely simple and direct.

All the infrastructure of our customers have been fully designed and implemented by us.

Given the simplicity of installation and implementation, its initial cost is very low. Of course, having the ability to automate the verification of backups, having the ability to perform a restore also from the Help Desk group and, finally, having very few problems with backup, keeps management costs remaining low.

We also evaluated the product of StorageCraft but, I would say, is too young.

It is a product with significant potential that can be positioned transversely on many case. The same reply can be made from the same VMware but we will not have a platform to test to see if it works (in VEEAM called Virtual LAb). To get a better solution, you switch to the Site Recovery Manager, but the costs are very high and certainly is a solution for much larger companies. The product is very reliable, easy to manage, and, above all, complete.

The ease of use is the most valuable to me. I was able to save so much time in my day because the product did exactly what it said it would do. Veeam makes backup what it should be, set up back up jobs and when you need to restore something, click a couple buttons and restore. The speed of backups is also very valuable, it is amazing how fast backups and restores take place compared to other products.

There was a lot of time spent using other backup products in the past, and the best part about Veeam is its ease of use. I am able to spend my time doing other tasks instead of babysitting my backup strategy.

I never run into any stability issues with Veeam. It's almost too good to be true. I setup my jobs, run them, get the e-mail that they are finished and done. Veeam has never failed me.

I have been a Veeam customer for about 3 years.

I would rate the customer service 10 out of 10, every time that I have contacted Veeam the support has been fast and friendly even for the smallest issues.

We previously used Backup Exec, we switched because we backups were becoming a huge headaches. We always had little issues with the product, but the problems just seemed to keep adding up and jobs were failing more and more.

The initial setup was really straightforward, its a simple software install and setup that even a child could take care install and setup.

I evaluated Symantec Backup Exec 2012 and Unitrends UEB.

We use Veeam Backup Replication for our backups, for Windows, Linux backups, AIX backups. We also use it for backups for Office 365 mailboxes and files.

Veeam Backup Replication is easy to use and has high performance. The backups are very fast. It's a complete solution that fulfills our current needs.

The replication functionality only works for VMware environments. Veeam has a backup agent for AIX operating systems, and we will like to see the replication functionality available for the AIX operating system. Additionally, if the backup functionality for AIX to be included in the Veeam console would be an advantage.

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

Veeam Backup Replication has been stable.

The scalability of Veeam Backup Replication is good.

We have contacted the support and they are very good.

The implementation of Veeam Backup Replication was at a medium level of difficulty. It was not completely easy, or complex.

The full deployment took approximately four months.

I would recommend others to use this solution.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication a nine out of ten.
