Its a straight forward, easy to use product. We were up and running in very short time.
Backup and Recovery just as simple
Backup and Recovery just as simple
What do you dislike about the product?
We don't use this to it full potential but from what I can see I don't have any dislikes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We mainly use this for Disaster Recovery and application development.
Worthwhile investment for small to medium sized companies!
What do you like best about the product?
1. Ease of use - Compared to previous systems, Veeam has the best GUI and it's easy to get comfortable with the product. Training new users on it is a breeze.
2. Speed - We are enjoying the backup speeds compared to similar products, and having it work so effortlessly makes it easy to schedule jobs.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Support response time could be faster. We had a long running quirk since 9.5 update 1 that took two months to make any progress on. We have it working correctly now, but there's still a configuration that we can set to trigger this problem again. Support also seems to be in non-US time zone(australia I believe,) so you'll hear from them at the beginning of the work day and maybe once again at the end of the day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having offsite replication set up using change block tracking saves a ton of bandwidth and gives more resiliency in the event of a disaster. WAN accelerators further speed up our replication jobs. Tape jobs can utilize one stream per drive for awesome speed as well. All of this combines into a platform that saves us a ton of time and resources that our previous solution did not.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Research options in storage to accompany the Veeam Suite. HPE StoreOnce appliances are nice, but they add an additional layer of dissection when it's time to solve a problem.
Does what it says on the tin
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of deployment and the ease of use. Adding virtual machines to be backed up and replicated is as simple as a few clicks while recovering application items and even entire servers is the same.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have any notable pain points in when using Veaam. I if I had to pick something it would be the lack of a Windows agent for physical servers. The Linux agent is available but the windows agent is still in the pipeline. Once the windows agent is released I'll be able to consolidate all of our backup operations to Veeam and remove ArcServe from our environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backup and recovery of Windows servers, Linux servers, SQL servers, Active Directory, and Exchange.
Backup Manager
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use in setting up jobs and getting our backups is great. Better yet, when we have to do a restore we have a number of options that are quick and robust to help get customers working again quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
We use Veeam in both VMware and Hyper-V. VMware is great, we have some issues but they are easy to work out and understand the cause. Hyper-V we have too many issues that are hard to get to the root cause.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ensuring we have backups of our servers and can quickly recover should there be an issue. It does what it advertises.
Feedback for my experience
What do you like best about the product?
UI is user friend. The support is very knowledge to help us to setup from nothing to something.
What do you dislike about the product?
The support take a little longer when I have issue to get back with me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
save money compare with different backup solution. It very easy to setup the backup on VM word
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think Veeam support need to get a little better on the return time.
Simple and powerful backup for your virtual environment
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam backup is simple and, at the same time, powerful and reliable. It is the kind of tool that you are able to manage in just a few minutes because it is very intuitive. Processes to backup and restore are very very simple.
You have the possibility to backup VMware and Hyper-V infrastructures. Enter the credentials of your vCenter and you will be able to see your VMs. After that, you just need to create a job and add the VMs you want to backup. You can configure options to:
- optimize the space with the use of compression and deduplication.
- enhance security encrypting your backups
- enable email notifications with the results of your backups.
- you can quiesce the VMs to take consistent backups.
There is another interesting feature that allows to replicate your VMs to a disaster recovery location. We were using this option to replicate critical VMs every hour. Again, this process is very simple.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only negative point is that you cannot copy physical servers and you cannot copy files at the operating system level. However, this is not very relevant this days because a high percentage of companies have migrated their environments to a virtual platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to replicate the VMs to a disaster recovery site in a very simple and reliable way.
We have been able to completely backup our virtual infrastructure saving storage capacity and time.
It helped us to reduce our RTO and RPO.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a fresh, intuitive and reliable backup tool for your virtual environment, do not hesitate, Veeam is your solution. I have worked with backup tools and Veeam is the one I would choose and recommend.
Veeam Suite Makes VMWare easy
What do you like best about the product?
The granular status views into all levels of the hypervisor in VeeamOne Monitor. You can drill down from the datacenter, cluster or host to get all the performance and alert data that you need in historical graphs that are much better than vCenter
What do you dislike about the product?
The license key model lagged behind the integration of the two products, so every support renewal it was a major hassle to convert and apply the license keys to the VeeamOne and Veeam B&R products. I think that has been streamlined now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reliable and improved RPO and RTO for business critical servers with backups integrated with Exagrid dedup appliances and Replication to DR site using Veeam. With replication, I can have a cold standby for all critical servers at the DR site that can be spun up within minutes of a failure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Exagrid backup appliance with the Exagrid integrated repository type.
Veeam
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity and intuitive for any data protection specialist.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike so far. It has come a long way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
data protection and the types of hypervisor that is supported.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try. I think there's a lot of improvements made so far that will surprise users.
Most versatile backup product on the market today
What do you like best about the product?
I guess if I had to pick one thing it would be the ease of use. Veeam's software product has come a long way in a short time. Every version they release gets easier and easier to use which makes administration tasks simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't know if there's anything specifically that I dislike. When it comes to IT products, they often can't predict every environment. I guess maybe they can work on reading minds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
VM backup of hosts, clusters, and s2d clusters, along with vSphere. Seems to do everything really well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Set up a test environment and go through their trial. Ask LOTS of questions and make sure to utilize their support. Everything from start to finish is top notch in my opinion. Their KB is good, but their support is MUCH better. They're responsive, consistent, and helpful all the way around!
VEEAM Software in ESX Environment
What do you like best about the product?
Fast, efficient. Easy to use interface. Works very well in our ESX 6.x environment. Single pane of glass management of all our hosts and VM's. It was setup by a virtualization integrator so we are simply managing what was already setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
When we were looking at getting more experience and training, the systems engineer assigned to us was covering such a large territory that we had significant difficulty getting post-sales support. We had to rely on the main telephone number for any help. I would like to see tighter integration with ESX management console.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snap shot recovery for failback, rollups. We'd like to take more advantage of the software to do remote disaster recovery and business continuity cases. We've been able to recover from bad software updates and OS corruptions so it's saved us a lot of time rebuilding VM's or critical server roles.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Lot's of choices out there. Many bundled with the storage vendor. Leverage that.
