Veeam Data Platform Reviews

Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use, good integration with others solutions, such as Oracle ERP, and by using the UI you can create and achieve operations you want to do.

Veeam Backup Replication could improve by making the monitoring system free. If I would like to have any monitoring system by Veeam I have to purchase it. It should come free with the solution. They should provide a monitoring system to make the work easier and smooth.

I have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for approximately 

The stability of Veeam Backup Replication is good.

Veeam Backup Replication is a scalable solution.

The support from Veeam Backup Replication could improve.

I rate the support from Veeam Backup Replication a four out of five.

Veeam Backup Replication is built for a virtual environment. I have used other solutions, such as Data Domain and which is used for the backup of the networks or other areas. I have found it a more difficult application to use. It can be even more difficult if you need to write a script for anything you would like to do. Veeam Backup Replication there are not any difficulties. 

I prefer Veeam Backup Replication.

The initial installation of Veeam Backup Replication is extremely simple.

The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable. It is not inexpensive nor is it expensive, it is in the middle range compared to other solutions. There can be additional costs for addons.

I would advise others that the implementation of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward and it is a great solution. I recommend Veeam Backup Replication to others.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication a ten out of ten.

Veeam takes our installation and server backups, then writes them on a disk and the tape backup. After that, it replicates the backups to another recovery site. IT is the only department that uses Veeam directly. It has three to five people.  

I like all of Veeam's features, but the most important ones are the tape backups and replication. Those are the two options available for us, and it's enough for our needs.

I've been using Veeam for more than 10 years

Veeam is stable.

Veeam is scalable. 

I sometimes contact Veeam for some adjustments or updates. They get back to me in a reasonable time. I've also asked them about the availability of particular features or questions about deploying the solution. There are different solutions for freeware and enterprise deployment. Enterprise deployment has various features available to end-users, so I've asked if these solutions are available to us. 

I worked with NetBackup at my previous company, but that was more than eight years ago.

Veeam is easy to install and deploy. 

We pay a yearly license for support and upgrades. I haven't researched the price of any other solutions, so I can't say whether it is expensive or cheap relative to others. It is affordable enough for me.

In the past, Veeam had a host-based license, but now it will be part of Microsoft's core license. I don't like this licensing model. Host-based licensing is better for my system. Maybe so other organizations prefer the core-based.

I rate Veeam Backup and Replication eight out of 10. I recommend Veeam. It is simple and easy to use.

My company is an end user customer of Veeam Backup and Replication and we use it for storing and protecting our server backups.

The advantage of Veeam Backup and Replication is that it is very economical. The price is affordable and the cost benefit is good.

My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss.

Beyond improving on the security measures, I don't have further expectations for Veeam Backup and Replication.

I have been using Veeam Backup and Replication for two years. 

I have no doubts about the stability of Veeam. 

At the moment it is not necessary for us to scale up our usage of Veeam but I can say that I believe it is very capable of being scaled, should the need arise.

The support we get is very helpful, but it is not through Veeam directly. We use a Veeam partner called Netgroup Solutions to help us and they have been good.

The installation of Veeam Backup and Replication was very easy. 

A nice aspect of Veeam's pricing is that the cost benefit is good. It's very economical.

Veeam Backup and Replication is a good product and I would rate it a ten out of ten.

The use cases vary because we work for several clients and deploy different solutions for each. Some of our customers have upwards of 5,000 users. But generally speaking, we use Veeam for copying databases and storage. 

We use Veeam, Veritas, or Commvault for simple security and second-level storage. We might use Oracle and different kinds of databases for replication and database storage with built-in replication. 

All our customers would like a cheaper license and more flexible deployment

We've been using Veeam for four or five years. 

Veeam is highly scalable. In one scenario, we started with 2,000 users and scaled up to 24,000.

I have a team of consultants who provide support, and we are Veeam-certified too, but we sometimes need help with certain customers and deployments. It's very complex, and we need more time than we expect, but it's working. 

The optimized installation takes two and a half hours, and then the total deployment takes more than a month and a half. 

Customers would rather have a standard license than a subscription because they prefer an OPEX solution over a CAPEX. They prefer to buy the solution with the solution and support for five or 10 years. 

I rate Veeam nine out of 10. Veeam is one of the best solutions. We are using it with customers that have 13 seats and 1,500 servers with varying technologies, including Windows and Linux databases, different interfaces, Citrix solutions, etc. We've been recommending it to our customers for the last two years. 

It is for backup and replication.

We use it for failover and disaster recovery. There have been times when our primary systems have failed, and we've been able to run virtually until our primary systems are available again. From a business continuity experience, it has worked fairly well.

Replication is most valuable.

The cloud part of it can be improved. There should be an option for Veeam in your own cloud, as compared to the Veeam cloud offering that's currently there. The rest of it is easy. 

I have been using this solution for eight years.

It is stable.

I am not trying to scale it up.

I didn't have any issues with technical support.

We use Zerto for the main part, and Veeam for a little part. We use them for different things. I prefer Zerto because I get a better RTU and RPO. It may be not as easy to set up, but once it is working, the RPO is in a region of 10 seconds. As compared to Veeam, its replication is currently two or three times.

It is of medium complexity.

It is relatively cheap.

I would advise others to use it. It is a good system.

I would rate it an eight out of 10.

We primarily use Veeam Backup and Replication in small installations and projects with Windows as well as standard Linux systems. We also use it as a backup solution for cloud products such as Office 365. In total, we have around 14 Veeam users, which covers about 100-200 devices using it.

Regarding the technical implementation, we have three primary technical personnel that maintain our use of Veeam. Because our company is multinational, with data centers located in Nordic countries such as Finland, we often have conferences outside our country and we share the services used to configure and perform the maintenance of our systems when needed. In this case, I can't point to an exact number of all the technical staff involved with Veeam throughout the greater organization.

Ideally, when it comes to backups, we prefer to use only one solution rather than two. However, we also have customers in the healthcare sector in Portugal who are using legacy UNIX and Oracle systems, and Veeam does not have agents for these operating systems. So when these customers want to create disaster recovery plans, we like to use Commvault to set up replication and create backup copies of the data code.

Veeam is quick, easy to work with, and its support for Microsoft products is good. They also provide adequate solutions for backing up Microsoft applications in the cloud, such as Office 365.

Veeam needs to have more support for non-Windows systems and other databases. For example, I can do SQL with Veeam but not Informix or Oracle. This is unfortunate because we have many partners with Oracle systems and Informix databases, and Veeam does not yet have the agents we need for specific Oracle and UNIX operating systems.

Because we are limited to using Veeam on mainly Microsoft systems, we have to resort to another backup and replication provider, Commvault, to handle these other systems. In general, I think that Veeam needs more improvement in terms of support for other applications and IT systems. It would be much more convenient for us to have all our backups for the different systems covered under one solution only, rather than having to use Veeam alongside other solutions like Commvault.

I have been using Veeam for a couple of years now. 

As far as I've been using it, it has been a stable solution.

With regard to scalability, we don't have any problems in terms of basic Windows systems.

Our local support team for Veeam is composed of four technical members who assist with support across the board. In first line support, there are more support members, but in second line support there are only two to three people who can support our customers. However, the problems are generally so easy that when using Veeam across our data centers, there aren't many support issues that can't be solved quickly.

It took us about five weeks to install Veeam in our environments and to implement it with our various solutions. We did not have much trouble with the initial setup, and it wasn't very difficult to work with.

We have implemented Veeam in-house, as it is very important for us to do it this way when it comes to backups and data replication.

We pay yearly licensing fees for Veeam in our data centers where we're using disaster recovery and replication between our many solutions, especially cloud solutions. From the beginning, we've done our licensing from a separate channel through our data center team in Seattle.

Veeam is a good backup product but it definitely needs more complexity when it comes to supporting different types of systems and applications. That said, it works perfectly for how we use it in our Microsoft solutions and I know we will continue to use it.

I would rate Veeam Backup and Replication a ten out of ten.

We had an issue with power in the data center and one of the IBM storage devices could not startup. We managed to restore all of the VMs from Veeam and disaster recovery was executed as expected within our SLA.

Enables us to restore the VM when the needs arises and for disaster recovery.

• Near-synchronous, better RPO and RTO snapshot-based takes a lot of space and resources.
• They could look at different ways to replicate only new changes or blocks.
• If we have to use Veeam for disaster recovery, we need to make sure that we can at least have up to 10 or 15 minutes of data before a disaster happens. Currently, you can have replication but this uses/eats up a lot of resources, on the network. Is there any other way they could increase RPO with less or limited network resources being used?

We did have stability issues and we had to contact technical support. They were very helpful.

Technical support is very good.

We didn’t have any previous tools for this.

The initial setup was straightforward. We did quite a bit of research and lab testing before the actual implementation. The white papers where very helpful

The pricing and licensing is better than the competitors, but it could be better.

We looked at Zerto and Acronis.

If they are looking for backup and recovery, Veeam is the way to go. If they are looking for a high RPO and RTO, Zerto is the way to go.

Its ease of use is the most valuable feature. It has a very simple UI.

Veeam is a very stable product. The ease of use and UI are some of its highlights. Learning this tool is very easy and you do not need any training classes.

Right now, replication it does in every 15 minutes. However, if it could do continuous replication or even bring it down to 5 minutes, then it would be great.

I have used the first version and stopped using it for a while, due to many physical servers in our environment. I have been using the new version for almost a year.

There were no stability issues that could not be resolved.

There were no scalability issues.

The technical support is excellent; they are very prompt and knowledgeable.

We were using another solution before this one. The reason we moved over to this solution was that we were only 30% virtualized, so we had to use a product that had backup physical servers.

The setup was very straightforward and any technical person can do the initial setup.

Licensing is per CPU, so it depends on the number of physical CPUs.

Based on my previous experience with Veeam, I didn’t evaluate anything else.

It is a very solid product with an easy UI. If you are 90% virtualized, then it is a great product.
