Veeam Data Platform Reviews

I use the backup, replication, and the backup copy features. The most useful one is the backup feature.

I have a backup of my infrastructure every night, and have improved the speed of performing restores.

I think it is a good product but all products could be better.

I've used it for two years.

No issues with deployment, nothing went wrong.

This product has saved a lot of my time, as it’s very stable.

I have only needed to open two tickets in two years.

Yes, I previously used Microsoft System Center but Veeam is better, faster and easy to use and configure.

It's easy and very straightforward to configure.

It was implemented in-house.

I would recommend you buy this product because it is simple to use and works fine.

It is important that a backup product delivers what it promises. As backup features are important, so are restore features. The ability of Veeam Backup & Replication suite to restore various items in a granular and fast way (RPO & RTO importance) is key for our customers.

Veeam B&R software is transparent and easy to use, which improves usability and manageability for the daily operations a backup/system administrator performs. Setting up a backup application/infrastructure is one thing, but to keep it operational without having to deal with big issues is another. I barely encounter situations where Veeam B&R setup disappoints our customers.

Two months ago, I would have said the integration of Veeam Endpoint Backup with Veeam B&R, but this is covered by now with Veeam 8 U2. The feature that a few customers are waiting is SharePoint item restores via redirected SQL, instead of having to install a staging SQL instance on the Veeam B&R backup server.

I've been installing and configuring it for three and a half years.

Every IT environment has it's specific needs and caveats. Of course I encountered some minor issues when deploying Veeam, but this is mostly related to the IT environment itself. Rare issues are logged with, and solved by Veeam support.

No issues encountered.

No, Veeam B&R provides a flexible way of working and scaling with the breakdown of different functionalities (proxies, repositories etc.).

In all the cases where I had to contact Veeam customer service, a solution was delivered within a short timeframe.

In all the cases where I had to contact Veeam Technical support, a solution was delivered within a short timeframe.

I have experience with Backup Exec. The backup/restore capabilities are far away from the Veeam Suite.

It's straightforward.

We are installing/configuring Veeam in customer environments.

As system integrator we offer various backup/replication products. I have no personal hands-on experience with other products except Backup Exec, and Veeam.

It's important to make a correct design which maps on your IT environment needs. A simple Veeam POC can be setup to validate the product.

I can do a backup of an entire VM or just guest files.

The safety and reliability of data loss and retrieval has been amazing ever since we implemented Veeam.

It would be nice to be able to backup data to two locations.

I've used it for five years.

Nothing serious.

Nothing.

No issues encountered.

Not for virtual machines. I've used Symantec Backup Exec.

It was straightforward.

We implemented it in-house.

It's 100%.

It cost $1200 for the initial setup and then $70 per hour in the case of a restore.

We also looked at Carbonite.

Choose the proper solution. Install the 30 day trial version and if it's for you, then purchase it.

• Sure backup
• Synthetic backups

It drastically reduced the backup time window and improved data protection.

Better flexibility for scheduling jobs, specifically for the SQL hourly log backup.

I've used it for eight months.

Nothing major encountered.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

It's better than others.

It's the best I've encountered.

We previously used virtual server infrastructure backup solution.

It was simple and straightforward.

We implemented it through a Veeam engineer, unfortunately the level of expertise was not the best.

We also looked at Nakivo.

It's the best solution for a VMware environment.

The ability to perform exchange restores.

Surebackup allows verification of the backup. This provides a higher level of confidence.

I've used it for two years.

No issues encountered.

If there is a communication interruption (ping drops) between the proxy and the Veeam server, the backup fails.

No issues encountered.

It's excellent.

It's just below excellent.

We previously used Backup Exec and ArcServe. These companies are too big to care even for their own products.

It depends on the organizations structure and level of optimization.

It was an in-house implementation.

Just recently, I retired Backup Exec, and added Veeam v8. This increased the backup scope by 30% and reduced tape usage by 70%

No, but the pricing was key.

Try it. Spend maybe one hour a week on the phone with their engineer to tweak things before buying. The product practically sells itself.

The ability to manage backups from any machine from one location.

We’ve taken the human out of the equation when it comes to our backups. This means backups run when they should, like they should.

None since the release of endpoint backup management.

I've been using it for over two years.

No issues encountered.

It's wonderful - 10/10.

It's wonderful - 10/10.

We previously used Symantec Backup Exec, it was cumbersome, didn’t handle our virtual machines, and kept us on tape backups.

Straightforward, with a very intuitive setup and layout.

We did it in-house.

Given this is Backup & Replication, the ROI is similar to that of an insurance plan - priceless when needed, but no monetary benefit until such time. Still worth every penny for the peace of mind.

No other options were evaluated.

Go for it, you’ll never regret it.

• 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.

9/10.

8/10.

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.

• vRanger
• Backup Exec

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

The backup and replication ability.

Backups and restores are completed very fast. Also, it takes less time for backups than previously.

Active Directory, because if we could restore GPO as a single level object as well as restoring AD schema partition through backup then I think it will be great product.

I've been using it alongside Veeam Backup and Replication four years.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

It is very good.

Technical support is also very good.

We are using both solutions right now.

It is straightforward to install and easy to configure and backup too.

I implemented it myself.

I think almost 80%.

It is just the license cost. and after that there is no cost except for support maintenance.

Yes we did.

It is a nice product.
