Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use if you have good backend space and good network connectivity between local and remote sotes
Great product for disaster recovery and short term backups, lacks archival choices
What do you like best about the product?
It is a very competent product that backups and and understands most kinds of enterprise data. Data can be replicated and copied easily between other sites.
What do you dislike about the product?
Veeam does not offer legal holds, or other forms of long term retention without requiring some workarounds in software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to backup and recover from disasters in our environment. It is our goto recovery for application level recovery as well.
Veeam is probably the best, most comprehensive, and easy to use Backup and Recovery platform!
What do you like best about the product?
The things I like best about Veeam:
1) Ease of use for day to day operations
2) Good documentation and support network
3) Relatively affordable licensing models
4) Lots of features built in to help you keep track of your backup and replication jobs

What do you dislike about the product?
The performance of hot-add disks during backup and/or replication sometimes isn't the greatest, but much of that blame is actually on the storage.
I do find that occasionally my jobs take longer than they should and don't update their progress bar unless I leave the job and come back.
I also don't like the fact that very rarely, when a job falls apart it can fail to remove the snapshots and leave way too much of a footprint on your datastore(s).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Veeam for VM backups and replication to an offsite datacenter. It allows us to have pretty good confidence in the quality of our backups and replicated VMs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's probably going to be tough to beat. They just introduced a Linux agent too, which will help plenty of people. I plan to deploy it on my Linux guests within the next 3 to 6 months to gain file-level granularity and exclusions, etc.
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.
Easy and reliable
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam is easy to setup and to maintain. You can configure pretty much everything and setup some automation with cli.
Highly recommended

What do you dislike about the product?
I think it can be quite expensive. Snapshots for backups can freeze vms and apps
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation of backups.
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.
One of the best DR suites I have used.
What do you like best about the product?
Block level backup so it's fast. Does both backup and replication. Replication allows both failover AND failback so you don't have to manually move data back to production after an issue. Also integrates offsite DR solutions to cloud storage. Now they also do physical machines. Really a great suite.
What do you dislike about the product?
Requires a certain skill level to implement on your own. Make sure you have your DR strategy planned out well. But, this might be a good thing. Lack of planning and over reliance on tech is dangerous.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Increased up time and reduced loss during problem times.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A strong contender.
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
