We have used the solution for combining cloud and on-premise storage, like a hybrid repository for storing our data and offloading. We have also created backups for Exchange and SQL. We also use the solution for endpoint protection like laptops and bare metal restore.

An easy-to-deploy product with simple configurations that can be used as a repository for storing data
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The product has introduced cloud storage, which can be used directly for backing up the data. We need not have an on-premise storage location. It makes everything easy. The product’s configuration and settings are very easy.
What needs improvement?
The endpoint protection console is not centralized. It needs to be improved. The product must improve its reporting features so that it can be used for audit purposes.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for at least eight years.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. If everything is in place, deploying the solution takes one to two hours.
What about the implementation team?
One or two people from our team can handle the deployment process. They have admin-level access to the server. It is easy. No other intervention is required.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I rate the tool’s pricing a seven out of ten. The product is expensive for small businesses. However, it is not that expensive.
What other advice do I have?
The product is suitable for a BDM organization that does not have the option to store data on-premise. It is really easy to manage. It can also be restored very easily. If we have a good network speed, it does a quicker restore. Overall, I rate the solution an eight and a half out of ten.
Engineers Built Veeam to Last
Easy to setup and highly scalable solution
What is our primary use case?
It is a useful solution for backing up and restoring computing environments, such as machines, physical servers, and workstations. It is an easy, stable, and reliable solution.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of deployment, its many interesting functions, and its good performance for both backup and restoration.
What needs improvement?
The price could be optimized, and I am still waiting for support for physical hardware. However, it is currently easy to back up and restore environments with this software.
So, there is room for improvement in the pricing model and support.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with this solution for five years. We have provided this solution to over ten customers.
We offer it to customers who need to back up and restore virtual machines and, for the past two years, physical servers and workstations.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's stable and performs well.
I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability is good if you have the right licenses and storage. Adding equipment and defining backup processes is straightforward. We are around 10 to 15 customers using this solution.
I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The customer service and support are quite good.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very easy. Setting up virtual machines is as simple as clicking next, next, finish. You then add the necessary equipment for backup and restore. Once the project is set up, it's stable and manageable through Veeam ONE. You can ensure your environment is in good shape and even debug if needed.
What about the implementation team?
For the deployment process, identify assets for backup, define backup and restore policies, ensure storage aligns with the environment, and verify correct licensing for the equipment.
We require four admins for the deployment and maintenance of the solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The licensing model is an annual subscription, not too expensive. There are some additional costs, but it's not very expensive and you can choose any environment.
I would rate the pricing a five out of ten, in the middle.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.
I would advise determining the required disk space, defining backup policies clearly, and planning for the necessary equipment.
A scalable and easy-to-configure solution that has a simple and easy-to-manage interface
What is most valuable?
The solution is quite easy to configure. The interface is quite simple and easy to manage. The restoration is easy to manage.
What needs improvement?
SureBackup is sometimes a bit difficult to use.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for a few years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is quite stable. I rate the stability an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the product’s scalability an eight out of ten. Three people from the MIS team in our organization use the solution.
How are customer service and support?
Often, when we deal with support teams, they just send us the link to the KB for troubleshooting.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, we used NetBackup. It was really confusing. Veeam’s interface is quite easy to use and configure.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is quite easy. The time taken for deployment depends on how many servers will be backed up. Generally, the deployment might take one day. We need one person to deploy the tool.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product must improve its pricing. Socket license for new users is also challenging. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
