A good management tool that offers a very good technical support
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The fact that it can make very good reports on Veeam Backup is a valuable feature. It offers very flexible reporting.
What needs improvement?
Improvement is required in infrastructure control because it generates reports on the infrastructure.
It would be good. It could be extended with, for example, collecting data from storage devices because you have the environment, which includes servers and storage devices. So, it would be good to have such integrations. It should have the ability to collect data from storage devices.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Veeam ONE for a year and a half. My company is a reseller and partner of the solution.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten. Only three or four system administrators are using it.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support is very good, and I think it's one of the best. The response time is very quick.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
There are other products for virtualization, but not for Veeam. I don't know any other product that covers Veeam, VMware, and Hyper V.
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial setup process is not very complex. The setup phase is not difficult. Creating reports is a bit difficult, and you have to spend some time on it.
What about the implementation team?
The implementation was done with the help of our in-house team.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Veeam ONE is offered at a good price. Compared to its price, the functionality and features of the product are more important.

Regarding the complexity of the processes in the solution, I would say that it is complex even though it is easy to solve. For a complex environment, I would definitely recommend the use of Veeam ONE. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Great interface, great backup system!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that it is seamlessly integrated with vmware vphere, that I can quickly save and restore virtual machines and individual files.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that I can't save individual files for several years. I have to necessarily save the whole virtual machine whole.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a product that would allow us to back up our virtual and physical machines. So we evaluated and chose Veeam Backup and Replication. We needed a product that would allow us to quickly restore virtual machines or restore individual files. Veeam met our needs.
Useful growth tracking, overview tracking, but increasingly complex
What is our primary use case?
I am demonstrating specific reporting capabilities of Veeam ONE to customers, which includes a valuable yet lesser-known feature that enables the creation of a VIZIO diagram for the entire VMware cluster, displaying all servers that can be further explored. This feature is highly beneficial as it can create a comprehensive video diagram of the entire infrastructure, including servers, storage, and connected devices, in just one hour, whereas doing it manually would take weeks. However, the feature is not widely known and needs to be located in the software. It is an invaluable feature that can almost pay for itself if utilized.
The purpose of using this solution is to estimate the need for expansion and growth. This involves monitoring the number of restores, daily usage patterns, and the timing of tool usage. The primary objective is to ensure successful backups and that they occur as scheduled. You must examine any growth patterns that you detect, whether on a daily or weekly basis and analyze the number of restores you perform. This is particularly beneficial for sizing your target and determining retention capacity for both on-premises and cloud scalability. All the data and reporting aid in assessing the size, growth, and availability of your data, as well as its overall success.
How has it helped my organization?
The Veeam ONE diagram is a relatively unknown feature that is only available in the solution. This tool enables you to create an overview of your entire infrastructure, based on your VMware cluster, and delve deeper to obtain specific information about each server, including how they are interconnected and their respective names. Having this tool at your disposal is undoubtedly valuable.
What is most valuable?
The most beneficial aspect of Veeam ONE is the ability to track your company's growth on a month-to-month basis. With this tool, you can determine if you need to purchase more target storage or if you have enough. This is essential for budgeting purposes, as, without this information, you may discover too late that you require additional storage or that your cloud usage is not aligning with what you are being charged. Veeam ONE aids in forecasting and usage analysis, making it a valuable asset.
What needs improvement?
One common customer complaint is that Veeam, not just Veeam ONE, has become increasingly complex over time. This means that it is now very feature-rich, which can be challenging for some users to navigate and understand. There is a need for more education on how to use the GUI and all of the available features. Even regular users of Veeam may struggle to utilize the new features, which makes it more challenging for backup administrators to manage their backups. The platform is not becoming simpler, but rather, it is becoming more complicated over time.
It would be helpful if Veeam ONE allowed a view of all of your repositories in a single panel, rather than having to check multiple repositories separately. This consolidated view would provide better visibility on the target repository, which can be very helpful.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Veeam ONE for approximately three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Veeam ONE does not need scalability. However, scalability becomes a consideration when assessing the ease of adding repositories and storage to the back end via the VIN GUI. Fortunately, this process is not particularly difficult.
We sell Veeam ONE to 50 percent of our engagements.
How are customer service and support?
The support from Veeam ONE is excellent.
How was the initial setup?
The setup process for Veeam ONE can be complicated, depending on your usage. It is not a straightforward process. You need to establish a Veeam ONE server, which is something that many users may not be aware of. It is necessary to dedicate a Veeam server as either a standalone or a VM for a VM server, which adds complexity to the initial setup process.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment using Veeam ONE because it helps in sizing, scaling, and projection.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing structure for Veeam ONE has changed to what is now called the "VUL" or "Universal License". Previously, people mainly used socket licenses, but this has now changed. The new pricing structure was introduced last year.
The concept of the universal license for Veeam ONE still needs to be explained more to customers. While Veeam ONE is still a good option in terms of pricing, it's important to note that it's only the software component, and a target appliance is also required. This is different from the full appliances and software options like Rubrik and Cohesity. It's crucial to understand that Veeam ONE is not the complete backup solution, but rather a part of it that needs to be combined with additional components.
What other advice do I have?
Veeam ONE has a lot of great features, and it's worth spending time exploring its capabilities. The video diagram feature is especially valuable because it's easy to use and provides significant benefits in addition to Veeam ONE's reporting.
I rate Veeam ONE a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Veeam Customer since v6
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam is great because they always deliver consistent backups that are easily transferrable to other storage devices and other Veeam backup servers. I also appreciate that they have the community editions of their software so even the smallest organizations can take advantage of enterprise class backup & recovery solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, I have never had a bad experience using the product line. I really have nothing bad to say about Veeam in general. Their tech support staff has always been very eager to assist with questions too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using Veeam since version 6 and they were the only solution that offered easy backup and recovery for both Hyper-V and VMware virtual machines at the time.
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

I've yet to find something that is not useful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

There simply isn't anything out there as good as Veeam Backup & Replication
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam isn't very complex to set up or manage; it's pretty affordable for medium sized businesses (30+ employees), and their technical support has always been outstanding.
What do you dislike about the product?
The use of bombastic language in naming their product is the only thing I am not too keen on. But on the other hand, they fully deserve the use of superlatives with a product range as good as theirs. There also used to be regular weekly updates emailed by the guy named Gostev that I sorely miss.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Veeam helps me keep our business resilient by allowing me to take regular, automated, and hassle-free backups of our critical IT infrastructure and restore them lightning-fast without our end users being affected or even aware of the process. It protects our physical and virtual server fleet with a rock-solid range of backup solutions and provides an ever-increasing number of valuable tools to make my life as a sysadmin easier.
