Great product for VMware disk to disk backups.
What do you like best about the product?
How fast the nightly backups take. The ability to not backup deleted files on a file server is huge! Fast restore options as well make restoring files or full servers very easy and fast. Also the interface is easy to maneuver once you get it down. I really cannot think of a better option to backup our environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
A little steep learning curve if you delve into the more advanced features. Still the product delivers especially when running in a virtualized environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backup of mission critical data is crucial knowing we can be backup and running in hours should a catastrophe happen.. We can backup more in less time with Veeam.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Newer versions of Veeam let you bypass deleted files. Make sure you select this option because it can save you lots of space when backup up a file server.
Solid backup product
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam is fairly easy to get setup and results in fast backup/restores and has a great range of features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need to fully understand the impact of various settings during the initial configuration of the jobs and backup storage to mitigate having to start over.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick backup and restore, easy to manage fail over and testing capabilities.
Nearly a fire and forget solution
What do you like best about the product?
As with anything, there's a bit of a learning curve depending on the complexity of your environment, what you're backing up, how, to where, and over what infrastructure. However, if you either built your environment or have worked with it enough to know exactly how it's laid out, the initial configuration is pretty straight forward. The thing I love most about Veeam is that once you have it set up correctly and it's working as expected, you pretty much never have to touch it again. Old restore points will roll off so you can project storage usage, that sort of thing. And if Veeam ever "breaks" it's almost guaranteed to be because something in your environment changed that broke it, not Veeam itself. I have used Veeam for years now and would never consider another backup solution for critical business and accounting data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost. If I had to come up with a con it would be the cost. Veeam isn't cheap. But then again, I think the stats are something like 40% of businesses who lose most or all of their data are out of business in less than a year. Compare the cost of Veeam to the cost of losing your companies data and it won't seem that expensive. That's how you need to be thinking about it, in which case Veeam is a no-brainer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The assurance that the possibility of a total loss of my data is as close to zero as it can be.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There's a reason Veeam is arguably the #1 name in DR.
Great Backup and Replication Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy deployment and Great functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to complain about with software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backup and Disaster Recovery. Good reporting tools and saves us a lot of time, money, resources and worry.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try and find a vendor that has a great install and support track record. Take a trial run and set a test environment before you make the investment. The interface is straight forward and easy to work with.
I love Veeam!
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam has been a total game changer in the field of virtual backups. It has completely revolutionized how we back up our infrastructure and has saved us immeasurable time and money.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the Veeam Agent is a great way to utilize Veeam for physical machines, but the tool needs further development to be truly useful. For instance, the backups can only be configured on the backup source machine, not the backup server. This makes configuration management difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are now able to back up our virtual and physical infrastructure using one tool, including secondary backups to a DR site. In addition, we are able to monitor the backups and our VM environment using VeeamOne which provides is with tremendous tools for planning and resource management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it! And make sure you get the most out of VeeamOne.
The best suite for backup and replication
What do you like best about the product?
Is easy to setup and easy to use, but is powerful to make any kind of backup and replication, we use for our datacenter in vmware.
What do you dislike about the product?
the price is the only detail, but is really good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a full historic backup of all our virtual server in our datacenter based on vmware.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
is the most complete suite for backup and replication in the market
Perfect backup and replication solution for Hyper-V business environment
What do you like best about the product?
We like absolutely everything about Veeam, it's extremely easy to deploy, extremely easy to use and extremely easy to manage. It always work and never fail. For an IT administrator like me, this product is the most "worry-free" software solution of my entire IT infrastructure. When I need to recover datas from backup, Veeam is always here to help me. We are totally amazed also to see how the data-deduplication and compression features inside Veeam are powerful because it decreased backup and replication times a lot! The integration with Veeam Cloud Connect (online cloud storage) is also amazing and definitely fits ours business needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
We don't have much to complain about Veeam, the only thing we currently have problem with at first deployment is that the software is do huge on ressources that if you don't set throttling rules/schedule, you can completely drain all system ressources of the entire servers infrastructure during backup and replication sequence.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We formerly performed backup using a file copy level script, which is very slow and long because it have to compare all files. Now with Veeam we have 10x more efficient backup as it's working with block changes tracking. We also gained a way longer backup retention period because of the amazing features of deduplication and data compression.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Veeam products are outstanding and the quality of the company's support makes it the perfect solution for backup and replication in your organization.
"The only" choice for virtual machine backups
What do you like best about the product?
So easy to setup backups, replicas and copies. Takes no time at all to ensure you are fully covered for both backups and disaster recovery. Expansion of the solution to tape archiving or replicas remotely is a doddle and if there is any issues, you can get through to a fantastic support team in no time and they work hard to get you sorted and backing up again in no time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Taken a little time to get access to the physical server backup aspect, so we can have all backup under one roof. Its still in its infancy but seems to be going in the right direction.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This was implemented as a means to ensure that our virtual platform was covered with backups and replicas, to meet the need for continuity and recovery from any eventuality. It as done that quickly and easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure you plan out your backup strategy and storage requirements carefully... this product is excellent and you can recover quickly from any issue but if you have chosen cheap backup media (IE slow or manual rotation) then you could delay your team inadvertently.
Veeam meets all our our needs.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of management, Quality of Service and reliability
What do you dislike about the product?
I/we have not identified any issues or concerns in 3 years of use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Seek Training, spend time and test back ups completely. Never try to under-power or under-licence your installation.
Great Backup Solution

Great for a virtual environment and ease of use
What do you dislike about the product?
Veeam just solved this problem by providing a physical option
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recommendations to others considering the product:
