Best Product in recent memory
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of Veeam is what sold us. It can do anything, with most any hardware. The product is very easy to use and configure. The premium platform comes with DR orchestration as well and that was another selling point for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is still a new purchase for us, so we have yet to encounter something that we have not liked. Maybe the need for a 3rd party device to do immutable backups. But that can be overcome by doing your own Linux repo.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving the need for VMWARE Site Recovery Manager. We no longer need licenses for that, with the built in DR orchestrator. It is also solving our previous lack of immutable backups.
Veeam ONE - One stop solution for all monitoring and reporting
What do you like best about the product?
We use it for backing up office 365 objects. This is one of our best selling products as a cloud service provider. We also use it for sql backups too
What do you dislike about the product?
If Veeam could have a tenant portal for backups, it would be great. We are a cloud service provider with hosted VMs. We use veeam to backup these vms, now if our customers request for a portal to view their backups, we dont have one as veeam currently doesnt support it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Veeam ONE to caculate bandwidth sizing for any DRaaS projects. This is vital to us before we even sign any contracts with the customer. The Veeam ONE suite is a great tool for monitoring and reporting
Veeam is an outstanding backup software
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam makes the backup process quite simple. Easy to configure and pickup without advanced knowledge ahead of time. You can also get more advanced with the configuration and use remote repositories and replication to backup the data to different sites and to disk for air gapped backups.
What do you dislike about the product?
The recent change in licensing model gives you more versatility since it switched to machine count instead of host, but frankly it appears to have been a cash grab more than anything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We utilize Veeam to do full server backups that we can replicate between our data centers. We are able to make these immutable to help protect against ransomware, and we are also able to copy these to disk so we can store these in air-gapped setup for another layer of protection.
