An user-friendly solution that helps with data backup and replication
Pros and Cons
  • "The tool is good for VMware environments."
  • "Veeam Data Platform needs to improve data backup for Oracle admin. It needs to improve its stability."

What is most valuable?

The tool is good for VMware environments. However, it's not very effective for physical servers, payment servers, and libraries. 

The solution is very good for backup and replication. 

You can use one license for backup without needing additional capacity licenses for backups or updates. It also doesn't require additional licenses to back up to a Git library.

The tool is easy to use and user-friendly. Its data recovery options are good. Veeam Data Platform supports data encryption. 

What needs improvement?

Veeam Data Platform needs to improve data backup for Oracle admin. It needs to improve its stability. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with the product for 5 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the product's stability a seven out of ten. 

How was the initial setup?

The product is easy to deploy. It took around 20-30 minutes to complete. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Customers require a perpetual license for the product. However, along with the license, they must also subscribe to the support service for one year or three years under a separate contract.

What other advice do I have?

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. I have no complaints about its data availability.

  • "The documentation and communication could be better in Veeam Backup Replication."

What is our primary use case?

Veeam Backup Replication can be deployed on the cloud and on-premise. We choose the best option based on many factors, such as the environment complexity and maturity of the customer.

We use Veeam Backup Replication as a backup and recovery solution.

What is most valuable?

Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use and the interface is very configurable for the users. It's a very familiar solution in Algeria.

How was the initial setup?

The solution is very easy to implement.

What other advice do I have?

We discovered Veeam Backup Replication with our presales people in our company. We did a POC at our office which is mandatory by our technical director when we discover a new solution. We go to the customer and discuss with them the difference and benefit of Veritas Backup Exec and Veeam and which can best suit their environment. Additionally, we show them the difference between using Veritas Backup Exec and the Veeam Backup Replication.

Veeam needs to work on their marketing for their solutions.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication a nine out of ten.

Has valuable disaster recovery features and good technical support services
Pros and Cons
  • "The technical support services have always been good."
  • "The product's initial setup process could be complex for application backup and database agent installations."

What is most valuable?

The platform's most valuable feature is continuous data protection. It is useful for data management and maintaining availability. It helps mitigate points of failure.

What needs improvement?

The product's initial setup process could be complex for application backup and database agent installations.  

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Veeam Data Platform since 2015.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the product stability a ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The product is highly scalable in a cloud environment, which I would rate as nine out of ten. However, in a local environment, its scalability is constrained by the existing infrastructure.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support services have always been good. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup process's rating varies depending on specific requirements. For server backup, I rate it a ten. It can be more complex for application backup and database agents, so I rate it around seven. On average, I rate it eight or eight and a half.

It is deployed in both cloud and on-premises environments. A simple agent installation might take an hour, while a full server setup with all features could take up to a week.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment.

What other advice do I have?

Veeam is highly effective in supporting disaster recovery. It provides detailed configuration options and generally performs better than Acronis.

The product's key features for managing data recovery include performance improvements and backup capabilities for various systems and virtual servers.

Its impact on operational costs and recovery time objectives depends on the defined policies, such as differential or full backups, and recovery time objectives. 

AI in Veeam is still developing. I have seen some documentation but still need to engage with it fully.

I recommend it to others and rate it a ten.
