One of the best ones
What do you like best about the product?
Although using the Community Edition, I must say I am impressed with how many features it has packed. Easy to connect to an ESXi server and easy to set up each machine to backup. Once that's done, all you have to do is set up notifications ON and forget it exists. I get all the information I need from the backup (if it failed or succeeded, how much space it uses, etc.).
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to dislike. I understand the Community Edition is about sharing, but I would go to Commercial Edition / or Paid if it was more affordable. As it stands, I could not possibly pay for using 11 servers instead of 10 (in my case, one machine is not backed up at all)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a daily incremental backup of 10 servers which works like clockwork, no hassle, and easy to set up. The server itself does not require or use many resources.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have tried other solutions, and none have all the features that Veeam packs in the Community Edition. Unfortunately, Veeam aims for Enterprises with the pricing, so end-users would typically not afford it. I certainly would buy a lifetime license, but for just one extra server running that I may or may not keep, I cannot pay for the software. The server is light on my machine while running, even when it's backing up, and I had put it to the test when I had to rebuild a RAID array and recover all the servers; everything went like a breeze. I did have to update the backup location so that it may be picked up automatically in the future, or maybe it is like that for security. Either way, I strongly recommend it and if you can afford it, buy it, thank me later for this advice.

Great backup solution
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive interface and outstanding reliability.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing comes to mind; they've done their homework to provide a good product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated weekly backups make things hands-off.
Awesome SQL and VM Backups
What do you like best about the product?
Speedy backups to a staged storage server with second-tier copies uploaded nightly to AWS S3. Fast and flexible restores when I need them. Notification emails keep me well informed.
What do you dislike about the product?
A tad complicated sometimes, but support is reasonable.
Seems to be getting more expensive each renewal.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backups used to take 9 hours, now take less than an hour, with far more being backed up. The upload to S3 solves offsite rotation.
Veeam Backup & Replication
What do you like best about the product?
Good, logical wizard driven interface making it simple to create and configure jobs. Good level of information provided during and after jobs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The inability to have the product detect new VM's on hosts and make suggestions for adding them into an existing job.
Inability for Veeam to detect when a VM has been powered off for a set duration and exclude it from backup job/s.
Both would be incredibly helpful.
The new licensing model is convoluted, unclear and now makes purchasing your product more expensive for most. Compared with the competition Veeam is now a very expensive product and I'm aware of multiple vendors who are recommending alternatives purely based on cost/better value.
Similarly, the inability to add more 'packs' of licences to your existing subscription is odd and means you end up with more than one renewal date, again, not helpful and off-putting. Certainly something to reconsider and find a solution to.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to have an offsite backup for DR and full bare metal backups of all VM's with great retention periods. Also we now have much improved RPO and RTO's.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure you have the relevant admin credentials for all your VM's and where possible standardise them. It'll make your life much easier when administering the product. We encountered and still do encounter headaches due to the complexity of our environment, namely being an edtech business with so many VM's and workloads to protect.
Structure your jobs so you have high levels of retention periods across dailies for x days, weeklies for x weeks and monthlies for x months. Also ensure you have an offsite and full mitigation and DR/BCP plan which is regularly tested. More important for some businesses with specific requirements, compliance needs etc than others.

Veeam Backup & Replication is the simplest and most effective backup software I used so far
What do you like best about the product?
The setup is easy to do and well documented, if you ever deploy backup systems from other vendor you will know it can be really difficult to do the initial setup and configuration. The setup is straightforward and there's nothing I could not figure out by just reading the online documentation. The data deduplication and compression is pretty good, even if your storage array doesn't support this feature, it's done on the Veeam server itself. You can send local backup to AWS directly, that's a real plus for us to be able to have off-prem backup copies.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like Veeam Backup & Replication to have an integrated functionnality to generate reports of all the backup jobs and copy jobs at once, it seem to be a feature available only if you install Veeam ONE.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had different softwares to take backups of our systems, I installed Veeam Backup & Replication to centralize the backups and to deduplicate the data, I'm really pleased with the result. We reduced the total backup size by at least 1/3 by configuring Veeam properly.
Amazing Product
What do you like best about the product?
It's a great product. It protects our data from any Hardware Failures or Accidental Deletion of files. Recovering the data is very easy and reliable. It's a great fit for Hyper-V environment. I do the backups for my 4 servers and it's seamless. I tried recovery in case of disaster recovery and it was very quick and easy. Great Product. Would definitely recommend to everyone.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far it fulfills all our requirements and we do no have any issues or any dislikes. But a Faster start-up of the application would make life easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Recovery from Hardware failures
2. Having Daily and Weekly backup gives us peace of mind.
3. Supporting multiple external backup hard drives to allow for off site storage of backups.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great product. I will give 10/10 and would recommend to anyone out there. Not at all expensive if you compare with other solutions.
Fast restores, even faster backups
What do you like best about the product?
We moved from an MSP tierd backup solution. I didnt realize how slow that service was until I tried Veeam. Speed is everything when you want to recover from a backup.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI isnt very intuitive, I wish they'd spend more time on the wizards and verbiage. Sometimes I have to re-read a screen several times to be sure I know what I'm doing is right.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a fast offsite backup solution. What we used before took hours and used a lot of our bandwidth. With Veeam we were able to reduce the time our uploads take by 70%
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great product, its easy to manage and easy to setup. Just spend some time reading online documentation.
Top notch product, easy to use and excellent support from amazing engineers.
What do you like best about the product?
Interface is designed with simplicity in mind but offers a wide array of features. Awesome product in a great package.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ease of use, fantastic support and knowledge base.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to use a clunky and expensive hardware backup solution, Veeam eliminated the need for dedicated backup hardware and saved us a ton of money. Implementing 3-2-1 backups was no problem with Veeam.
Easy to manage and just works
What do you like best about the product?
Out of all backup solutions that we have used, Veeam has been the easiest to use/maintain. The setup was seamless and it has not required us to fix any issues since we started using it. It is also the cheapest option that we found.
What do you dislike about the product?
The setup process was lengthy. It took 2+ hours for the initial setup and configuration. However, since then, we have not had any disruptions to our backup service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our previous backup service frequently failed because of various issues. Veeam has solved all of those issues and has been flawless ever since the installation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
During your consultation with the sales rep, make sure you cover all current and planned future assets that will require backup so that your licensing is tailored to your current and future use. The licensing is very inexpensive so plan ahead.
Reliable backup solution
What do you like best about the product?
Backup and replication jobs creation is very straightforward. We can create backup jobs, and replication jobs as well as tape jobs. We can schedule backup jobs as we want. The portal clearly shows the status of backup jobs. So it is easy for us to determine if there is an issue. The reporting feature is excellent and offers a brief description of all backup jobs in the past several months. The backup restoration process is also easy. We were able to restore a backup without any issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes customer service response time is slow, and it needs to be improved. Need to improve service level agreement about providing technical support quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When considering data centre backup solutions, Veeam backup and replication are among the best solutions in the industry. We have critical data, and so needed a reliable backup solution. Otherwise, it will be a disaster for us if the datacenter failed and we have no backups. After conducting many kinds of research, and based on recommendations, management decided to choose Veeam backup and replication. They provided a reliable backup solution for a reasonable price. Pre-sales team is ok, and the deployment team did a great job according to our infrastructure and requirements. When considering technical support, there was some time to provide a solution quickly. As of today, we never faced any significant issue with this product, and overall experience with this product is excellent.

You can customise the solution according to your requirements and the infrastructure.
