Proactively monitors and helps in resolving issues efficiently but needs more customization features for dashboard

  • November 06, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

Our customers use it to monitor their backup infrastructure as well as the hypervisor.

What is most valuable?

Most of the customers like the features that monitor the VMware infrastructure.

Moreover, the product proactively identifies potential issues and provides suggestions on how to address them.

What needs improvement?

In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities. It could integrate with automation services to automatically resolve identified issues rather than simply providing instructions to the user.

Moreover, I would like to see customization on the dashboard and the reporting level.

Another area of improvement is the support.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for around eight years. I'm working with Veeam ONE and Veeam Data Platform.

We work with the latest version, v12.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability an eight out of ten. It needs some improvement, especially on database connectivity, when the database grows. So, these issues are there for some of our customers.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten. It needs some improvements.

We have around 15 customers using this solution. Some are enterprises, some are government entities, and some are SMBs.

How are customer service and support?

Generally, what we have noticed with Veeam support is that it's getting worse. We have to resolve this by ourselves, and it happened recently also with two to three cases. Our engineering team was able to resolve this instead of waiting from their side.

How was the initial setup?

I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

It was straightforward. No complexity here.

What about the implementation team?

The installation is pretty straightforward, and some configurations need to be done. The entire process can be done within a day; we can complete it.

For the deployment process, we need to identify where to place the solution and the required ports for Veeam ONE. We identify the network requirements, all the ports, and firewall ports needed to connect to the VMware and backup infrastructures.

It's placed on a dedicated machine, and we configure a skilled server instead of SQL Xpress due to limitations. Then, we deploy it, add the backup and VMware infrastructures, set up the license, and configure rules and alerts.

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

It is reasonably very cheap. I would rate the licensing model a one out of ten, where one is very affordable and ten is extremely expensive.

There are no additional costs. Most of our customers take it as a bundle with Data Cloud. From advanced, they take the bundle. So it comes with Veeam ONE. So, it's very affordable.

What other advice do I have?

If it's purely a VMware environment, then I definitely recommend it. If it's a heterogeneous environment, they may not be able to monitor on-premise servers or the cloud. So, if it's purely VMware, then I would recommend it.

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

A comprehensive solution for protecting virtual machines and physical servers

  • November 03, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for protecting virtual machines and physical servers, as well as backing up data. The data platform mainly focuses on virtualization and physical environments, including database backup.

How has it helped my organization?

Veeam recently enhanced some features related to ransomware. Within these updates, its built-in protection feature or cybersecurity features included in the Veeam data platform now provide added protection for all customers. The solution effectively safeguards data, particularly against ransomware. This benefits Veeam, although it may rely on other third-party solutions for business continuity and data protection.

What is most valuable?

The solution focused on on-premises data and covered all virtualized environments, including physical servers. This product offers scalability, flexibility, and a simple user interface.

What needs improvement?

The licensed schema needs to be simple because it is more complicated than the previous one.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the Veeam Data Platform for six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product’s stability is good.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution can integrate with Azure storage and other storage vendors. It is more scalable than the cloud version.

10-15 users are using this solution. We cater this solution to small to medium companies.

I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have been working with the Veritas backup solution for about 20 years. Veeam has gained a significant market share and caters to many customer needs in the backup sector.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy and takes a couple of hours to complete.

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

The solution has affordable pricing for old customers.

I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

The solution provides flexible licensing options and good technical support, but it must improve its scalability and performance

  • October 17, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

The solution is used for backup and replication of data. We can create a backup copy of off-site data.

What is most valuable?

The backup feature is valuable. It uses snapshot-based replications. Continuous Data Protection is a game-changing technology. Including Veeam, there are only three software vendors that provide this technology.

What needs improvement?

The product must improve its performance. Sometimes, the backup is very slow. It might be because of the backup infrastructure or the network infrastructure. Sometimes, it is because of Veeam’s abilities.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for more than ten years. I have been using the latest version for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The tool’s stability depends on the people who maintain the platform. If they do not manage it well, the stability will be lower. The more we manage, the more stability we get. If we take care of our platform daily, there won't be any problems. If we don't look at it for a week, we will have some problems.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Veeam has some performance issues after we reach a couple of 1,000 virtual servers. We have more than ten customers using the product.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is very good.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is not straightforward. It depends on the customer’s infrastructure, architecture, CDP, and storage. We must be very careful about which tools should be used for the implementation. Infrastructure assessment should be done very carefully. A person must be a good Veeam engineer to decide which tools and add-ons should be in place to deploy the solution.

The customer infrastructure assessment should be done. We must find how many virtual servers will be backed up, how many client machines will be backed up, and how many physical servers will be backed up. If a replication solution is in place, we should ask for a wider bandwidth for the customer.

If the customer will be using CDP technology, then we have to do some additional installations on the customer's physical servers. We must understand how many proxies, backup repositories, and immutable repositories we will use.

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

The solution provides flexible licensing options. We can have it perpetually. We can have it yearly or once in three years. We can also get the Veeam Universal License.

What other advice do I have?

Veeam is the only IT vendor that provides many features in one bundle. I recommend the tool to others. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Provides radical resiliency through secure backup and fast, reliable recovery solutions for hybrid and multi-cloud environments

  • October 05, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I find Veeam Data Platform to be an excellent solution with numerous features. It serves as a highly effective choice for backup, replication, and disaster recovery in my opinion.

What is most valuable?

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is an excellent solution for ensuring user-side disaster recovery. It involves a platform on-premise, which can be replicated to another site. It's a very effective solution, and we prioritize both the FTO and the FTO.

What needs improvement?

I recommended adding Azure for EBMI XPower backup and incorporating SolarWinds for end-of-month risk processes, which were not part of the initial solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Veeam Data Platform since 10 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability 9 out of 10.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the scalability 9 out of 10. Generally, our clients fall into the medium-sized category.

How are customer service and support?

There are processes needed to enhance support. Technical support is an area that needs improvement.

How was the initial setup?

I find the solution to be easily understandable and trouble-free. Deployment is straightforward, and I've had a positive experience with it. Currently, I haven't deployed with Azure or Microsoft thirteen hundred fifty-five, but I may explore that in the future for a better understanding.

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

I acknowledge there are concerns about pricing, specifically in gaining more customers for VM. We've encountered difficulties in convincing them due to pricing issues. So, I rate it a six.

What other advice do I have?

We strongly advocate using Veeam for specific cases, particularly for backup services and Disaster Recovery as a Service. These are the two primary cases we utilize to enhance our customer solutions.

On a scale of one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I would rate this product as an eight.

The solution has excellent reporting but needs to invest in AI and ML features to counter ransomware

  • September 29, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My clients use Veeam One for monitoring. Veeam One offers backups and VM monitoring.

What is most valuable?

Veeam One is easy to use. You don't need to get very technical or specific class training. Anyone can start using it.

In my customer's feedback, one thing they liked a lot was the reporting. There is a reporting tool from Veeam One. My customers use reports and can generate reports based on anything they want. They can then compile the report and use them for multiple purposes. My customers use the reports for auditing and reporting, such as quarterly reports.

What needs improvement?

Veeam One has its ransomware monitoring, but it's based on static parameters. Maybe they can put in AI or ML to get an understanding of our customer's environment, so we don't need to manually tweak the static parameters to meet the customer's environment.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have about two years of experience with Veeam One, but my company deployed it three or four years ago.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Veeam One's stability an eight out of ten. I don't hear any issues from my customers.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate Veeam One's scalability a seven out of ten. The solution has some limitations with scaling, so we need to put in some workarounds to scale it. However, the solution is still scalable.

In Malaysia, we have SMB and even enterprise customers. We have two banking customers using Veeam One.

How are customer service and support?

Veeam One has different support centers around the region because of the time zone. In Malaysia, the morning support will be in Australia. After three o'clock in Malaysia, Australia's shift ends, and if we need to continue to work on a case, we need to get the support team to transfer the case to another team, and it takes time to do the handover. That process could be faster.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before Veeam One, I tried Veritas. In Veritas, if we want to monitor the virtual infrastructure, that is a separate license. Veeam One is very straightforward because it's called the virtual machine. If you have 100 virtual machines, you have to get 100 licenses. Veritas needs a capped speed license, which means I need to understand the customer's environment around the capped speed they use for the virtual machines. The license structure is complex for Veritas. And it is difficult to forecast the capped speed for the next few years of growth.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is really simple.

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

Veeam One's cost is cheaper. I rate its pricing a seven or an eight out of ten. The price is pretty cheap for our market. It's a really good price for the quality of the product.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Most clients don't want to use vRealize Operations since it is expensive.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Veeam One a seven out of ten. There are some improvements, but for the price point and features, I think that Veeam One is a great product.

Affordable and reliable general hypervisor management with significant lack of customer support

  • September 26, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

Our customers were seeking an affordable monitoring solution. We noticed that traditional options like VMware's Operations Manager are quite expensive, so we found a more budget-friendly alternative. Veeam ONE has proven to be a reliable tool not just for backups but also for general hypervisor management.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the capacity planning aspect of the solution.

What needs improvement?

There are not enough charts and diagrams available. Other solutions, such as VMware's vRealize, offer a more extensive range of charts and diagrams for monitoring the environment. Enhancing the user experience, particularly in terms of providing more comprehensive chart and diagram options, would be beneficial.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with it for more than ten years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It offers good stability capabilities. I would rate it eight out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach. When we face a certain issue, they simply provide a website link and expect us to resolve the problem on our own. If the issue persists, we need to revert to them for further assistance. This process can be time-consuming when dealing with problems. This differs significantly from our experiences with other vendors, like Nutanix. For instance, when we open a support case with Nutanix, they not only provide a dedicated web portal but also offer direct assistance tailored to our company's specific situation. This approach is notably more effective. I would rate it five out of ten.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I learned about Veeam ONE before exploring other solutions, and I have found it to be a highly cost-effective option when compared to alternative solutions.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. I would rate it nine out of ten.

What about the implementation team?

The deployment process took approximately one week because, following the initial setup, we held several technical meetings to fine-tune the configuration to align with the specific requirements of the customer's use case.

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

It's an extremely cost-effective solution. I would rate it three out of ten.

What other advice do I have?

It is an excellent solution, incredibly user-friendly and manageable. I would highly recommend it based on its robust features and ease of use. The main issue lies in the quality of customer support. I would rate it seven out of ten.

The solution has an easy interface to work with but needs to improve support

  • September 14, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What needs improvement?

Every backup solution has a different approach to deployment. Veeam is not in SaaS right now. It is not cloud-based. They are only on an exchange license basis. They should plan to have a cloud-based backup. Veeam has partnered with Wasabi for a backup cloud, but they should try to get their backup solution.

Moreover, the support should be faster.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have worked with Veeam for ten months since I joined my current organization.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Veeam can be scalable if you have a simple interface. We have 20 to 26 users.

How are customer service and support?

I have to call Veeam directly for support since we are working with them. It would take time if I raised a support ticket.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is not easy. The package must be downloaded, and we can only install it. You have to check if Veeam is compatible with your OS. If it's not, you must go through many changes before doing it.

When deploying Veeam, you have to download the ISO package for it. It's approximately 10 GB. You have to then download the license on the portal itself and check whether it is valid. After that, you have to deploy the ISO package after mounting it to the server, in which we have to create a backup agent server. Veeam's installation isn't short; a prerequisite is that it is updated to the latest version of the OS. Only if everything is updated is the installation able to proceed. Then, you have to add the storage bucket. You can add a cloud backup using the AWS E3 bucket. And if you have a paid library or any SAN in your environment, you can add SAN to the solution.

What about the implementation team?

I have distributors I am directly in contact with. They are a partner in every scenario we ask for.

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

Veeam has a ten-license package gives you two physical and two virtual servers you can use on any endpoint. You have to pay for the solution. It's just for server backups, so a price would be there.

The solution is not priced on its storage. If you have 20 terabytes of storage, you can add it to the solution.

What other advice do I have?

If you are looking for a physical backup and have deployed on physical servers, you should choose Veeam. It has an interface that's easy to use. I rate Veeam Data Platform a seven out of ten.

We only have the enterprise backup, not the endpoint backup. It's an enterprise solution, and we have to try it out.
