Product Test
Excellent backup alternative compared to Windows 7 Backup Utility
The best virtual and cloud environments for backup and replication is Veeam.
What captured our attention is the convenience of use of Veeam’s flexibility. It is compatible with almost any hardware so there are no limitations. The simplicity of the product setup and operation is outstanding. The fact that the premium platform's DR orchestration feature can be enabled was also especially noteworthy.

Veeam architect
Has valuable disaster recovery features and good technical support services
What is most valuable?
The platform's most valuable feature is continuous data protection. It is useful for data management and maintaining availability. It helps mitigate points of failure.
What needs improvement?
The product's initial setup process could be complex for application backup and database agent installations.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Veeam Data Platform since 2015.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the product stability a ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product is highly scalable in a cloud environment, which I would rate as nine out of ten. However, in a local environment, its scalability is constrained by the existing infrastructure.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support services have always been good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup process's rating varies depending on specific requirements. For server backup, I rate it a ten. It can be more complex for application backup and database agents, so I rate it around seven. On average, I rate it eight or eight and a half.
It is deployed in both cloud and on-premises environments. A simple agent installation might take an hour, while a full server setup with all features could take up to a week.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment.
What other advice do I have?
Veeam is highly effective in supporting disaster recovery. It provides detailed configuration options and generally performs better than Acronis.
The product's key features for managing data recovery include performance improvements and backup capabilities for various systems and virtual servers.
Its impact on operational costs and recovery time objectives depends on the defined policies, such as differential or full backups, and recovery time objectives.
AI in Veeam is still developing. I have seen some documentation but still need to engage with it fully.
I recommend it to others and rate it a ten.
Efficient for data protection and simple to use
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
For data recovery, we do some tests. We haven't had any problems yet. The tests we've done work fine.
What is most valuable?
For me, it's perfect. We don't have any problems with backups and applications.
Immutability is the most important aspect of data protection in terms of Veeam Data Platform. That could be one critical factor for us.
Data protection is the most valuable aspect.
What needs improvement?
We had one problem once with the multinet in the network, but it wasn't a big problem. It was a problem with the network itself. That is the only problem we have had.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for two years. We use the current application tool, the new one, that's the tool server that I use.
How are customer service and support?
I personally haven't requested any support, but my coworker has and says it's good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have also been using Veeam ONE for about two years to monitor traffic and jobs. So, mainly as a monitoring tool.
We use it to monitor everything. We don't have any other tool like it. We used to use vRealize Operations Manager, but we don't have that anymore. That's why we use Veeam ONE. It's easy to view all the infrastructure.
How was the initial setup?
The infrastructure we have is simple.
So, the initial setup is very easy as our environment isn't complicated.
We finished the deployment in about three weeks. We didn't deploy the solution solely for the strategy part. It took us three weeks because it wasn't a priority for us when we deployed the solution. So, the deployment time could have been less.
We didn't have any problems with integration into our existing ecosystem.
In my opinion, maintenance is very simple. We don't have any problems with updates.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is not expensive.
What other advice do I have?
I would give it a ten out of ten because I haven't had any problems with maintenance. It's very simple and our environment is also very simple.
So for simple use, it's a very good tool and fulfills all our needs.
I highly recommend it.
