Veeam Data Platform Reviews

Deduplication, built-in wan accelerators, advanced monitoring, backup copy and tape drive integration, explorer for MS exchange, and replication feature.

We used to have many backup solutions for different purposes but Veeam allowed us to use just one backup solution to backup our vms and due to the granularity of the system, it allows us to restore of single objects when the vm is mounted.

Currently VEEAM doesnt back up VMs with physical raw device mappings.

2 years.

No problems with deployment.

No.

No problems with scalability.

Good.

Excellent.

Due to the flexibility and the above mentioned features.

It was a simple click to install after reading the configuration guide and following it accordingly.

I implemented it in-house.

Overall it is a good investment in that it has saved us the cost of maintaining different backup solutions within our environment.

I would highly recommend it to anyone running an extensive virtual environment.

Flawless virtual machine backup.

Ability to have disaster recovery site capabilities integrated into our backup solution as well as a backup product that scales along with our needs.

None that I can think of.

5 years. We just upgraded to version 8.

Only one minor Microsoft related configuration issue that easily resolved.

No issues with stability.

No issues with scalability.

Very good. Every support call as been handled quickly and completely.

Just as good.

Symantec Backup Exec. Was not an effective solution for virtual machine backups.

Very simple. More or less just click continue when prompted and then some fairly simple steps to setup the initial backup jobs.

In-house.

The ability to instantly recover a virtual machine as compared to several hours with previous methods.

I don't have the initial cost, but ongoing maintenance is very affordable.

Wasn't anything on the market at the time that really could compare to this.

Get a free download and try it!

The file level restore and the instant restore of a whole VM from a snapshot.

With this product we are able to drastically reduce our backup and restore times. We are able to have a true DR site with Veeams replication jobs.

It needs to be able to backup physical servers.

I have used this solution for 3 years.

No deployment issues.

No stability issues.

No issues with scalability, it is very easy to deploy an additional proxy server.

5/5.

5/5.

We previously used Backup exec and when we implemented virtualization, Veeam had a good price point and seemed logical.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward.

We implemented in-house.

We have saved a lot on not having to buy additional licenses.

I believe we initially spent 10k on implementation.

Veeam is definitely a must for virtualized environments.

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 VMware 6.5 and vSphere VMware 6.5 solutions.

The most valuable features are the backup and restoration of our VMs. Additionally, they add features regularly.

I have been using Veeam Backup Replication for approximately 

The pricing of the solution could be reduced.

I sometimes attend Veeam's annual meetings when they have them. Because of COVID, I didn't attend one or two of them, but Veeam seems to be very proactive in adding features.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication a nine out of ten.

Veeam doesn't have the reporting part quite right. Its data visualization isn't as slick as other solutions like Veritas. For example, in Veritas, you can see a calendar that shows you which days are backed up. Veeam lacks features like that.

I've only been using Veeam for a couple of months. 

I'm a new client, we only use Veeam on three servers, so I'm not sure how scalable it is, but Veeam claims it's scalable. It's usually deployed in medium-sized enterprises. 

Veeam's installation was hectic. It was tough in the beginning, and the installation process took us a lot longer than we expected. It requires several other applications and has lots of dependencies.

Veeam is in the same price range as Veritas and similar solutions in that segment. 

I rate Veeam eight out of 10. Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent. 

We are using Veeam for regular backups and disaster management.

The backup and restore features are the most valuable.

The user interface needs to be improved. It could be simpler to use.

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

This is a stable product.

Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution. We have approximately 300 end-users and we don't plan on increasing this by very much.

I have not been in contact with technical support.

Prior to Veeam, I was using the regular Windows Backup utility.

The initial setup is straightforward and it takes roughly an hour to deploy.

Our in-house team was responsible for the implementation.

We have four people in our IT team. They are all administrators.

In summary, this is a good product and I recommend it for those who are interested in using it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

The primary use case of this product is for disaster recovery and ransomware protection. It's also used for testing development. 

I like this solution for its simplicity and stability. 

The solution could be improved with easier immutability.

I've been consulting on this solution for eight months. 

The initial setup is fairly straightforward. Depending on how the system is deployed, the implementation can take anywhere from one to six hours. We currently have five customers who have deployed Veeam Backup & Replication. We have two engineers who deploy this product. 

I recommend this solution and rate it eight out of 10.
