Veeam Data Platform Reviews

The ability to restore both the VMs and single files is very flexible in Veeam 9. We can restore from disk, tape or from our NetApp appliance snapshots. It has a myriad of effective ways to backup and recover.

By allowing us to restore from our NetApp appliance directly, we have realized a tremendous time and resource savings in our virtual environment.

The only real issues that I’ve had have been navigating the user interface particularly with restores. I feel that more attention could be paid attention to the restore interface. It’s just not as intuitive or fluid as it could be.

We have had no issues with the deployment.

There have been no performance issues.

It's been able to scale for our needs.

I would definitely recommend Veeam 9 for its quick and effective backups to disk, tape and even the cloud. Having said that, the restores have been reliable once completed.

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.

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.

Exchange and File server backup are valuable features.

Versions of backup files helped us to recover files as per users requirement.

Virtual Environment

I've used it for seven years.

No, but deployment is bit complicated.

Having issues with the hardware.

Tape base backup and data is spread across the tapes.

2/10.

2/10.

We previously used the Windows backup solution and we changed to Tivoli for automated backups and multiple copies of backup sets to comply with central bank policy to keep the backup data offsite and out of the country.

Initial set up was bit complicated. Policy definition is not easy.

We used a vendor team whose expertise was 2/10.

It's not 100%.

No. We did not do an evaluation.

Good product but not it's suitable for a virtual environment.

• File level recovery
• Point in time backup

• Veeam Backup has given us the power to protect the critical VM's that are core to our business. For example we protect our VMware vCenter Server, vCenter MS Sql Server.
• Active Directory Domain Controller. This help us recover the Internal management tools like vCenter Server within 30 minutes from Veeam Backup.

VMware VDP it was missing file level restore on version 5.0 which Veeam offers.

This is per-CPU, initially we ordered 40 CPU.

Before choosing Veeam we have tested two products Unitrends backup, VMware VDP

We have two types of licenses with Veeam, one is for in-house and the other is for the service provider or your customers. Make sure you have a clear understanding of which license you need in your organization.

Ease of use

Very reliable and fast data recovery

I feel the price is a bit high

Don't recall, I believe annual support is $2500

Do it! Great, stable, full featured product.

I use Veeam ONE in testing environments. I don't use it in the production environment. I only use it for demo and testing tasks.

We have on-prem installations. In Belarus, it's not popular to use cloud features due to government regulations, and our customers use only on-prem environments.

It has been useful for monitoring, troubleshooting, and assessing our environment, as well as for investigating bottlenecks.

Sometimes, it's a little difficult for me to use its user interface. Its scope is very big with a lot of tuning, settings, and so on. If it's difficult for me, it must also be difficult for our customers.

I have been using it since 2020 when I started preparing for the certification examination for Veeam. Now, I don't use it that much. I run Veeam ONE only for demo purposes. 

Our environment is stable, and we are not into scaling and sizing our environment. It is very static for us.

I have not used their support for Veeam ONE, but I have used it for Veeam Backup and Replication tasks. I have had communication with Russian support, and they are very fast in communicating with us. They were very good. I would rate them a five out of five.

The initial setup is not so difficult, but other functions and customer settings for monitoring are sometimes difficult. Its initial installation is not difficult for me.

We are an integrator. We have two or three engineers for maintenance activities.

I have not used the resale license in our testing environments. Sometimes, our customers used the trial license for 30 days and so on.

I would advise implementing Veeam Backup and Replication and Veeam ONE together in your environments.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. It is useful for me, but sometimes, it is very difficult to use.

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.

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.
