Veeam architect
What do you like best about the product?
Super easy backup and restore and replica platform
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing super easy and non vendor lock platform
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solve data loss from data corruption and malware
Has valuable disaster recovery features and good technical support services
What is most valuable?
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 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.
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.
Amazing Backup Solution
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam is easy to use and setup, support is top-tier, and the backups "just work." The scale-out and scale-up options are great for growth, and Veeam really fits any business backup need with plugins for most cloud services.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit OP for my specific needs, but I'm glad those features exist. Somethimes it can be confusing to know what components I need or don't need, and how all the pieces fit together (confusing because I'm not using them, not because it's inherently confusion).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Veeam backups up everything to local and cloud storage, and has features to follow the 3-2-1 rule of backups with minimal administrative effort. REstoration of lost/damaged files is a breeze.
Since Veeam v1.0 to today, they always provide a great and consistent experience!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how it backs up everything I throw at it! They have added Postgres and allowed the choice between that and SQL. Options are great!
What do you dislike about the product?
It can even backup physical Solaris boxes, and Mac workstations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving our backup and disaster recovery options by providing us multiple options for recovery and the flexibility of putting them where we need them most. We have even started leveraging our on-prem S3 solution to back up to and increase the security of our backups.
Backup made easy and fast
What do you like best about the product?
I'm quite new to this backup game, but Veeam just blows the competition out of the waters.
1. Speed in backup and restore
2. Robust secure configs
We could restore an entire VM of 1.5TB to ESXi in about 15 minutes from a local drive to local. We benchmarked against other backup software but nothing is as close to this speed.
We run hourly backups and the ease of intergrating them into multiple vCenters is just excellent.
Maybe the next step is to actually get a higher tier subscription for malware scannning.
Try the community edition for yourself and experience it.

What do you dislike about the product?
If you're new to the platform.
Navigating isn't the easiest. Config is feature packed. Security is so tight you would love to hate it.
But better secure than insecure.
One small drawback might be the backup size that Veeam creates. They are so massive that you might have to upgrade your datastore just to accomodate the backups.
I had to call Veeam support a few times just to get my head around where is everything and how to configure everything.

physical, virtual, cloud veeam can do it all
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam is our backup software par excellence that we recommend and use with our customers, the integration with veeam one is great and for us it is easy to carry an implementation to be used easily, for us the frequency of use is daily since we have from vms to SAP and so far the support has been helpful in all its functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
L1 support are not very accurate, they need to get better at it.

restore virtual machines that have been deleted by the customer.
restore machines that have been infected with malware.

Easy and secure backups with Veeam Backup & Replication.
What do you like best about the product?
I am so grateful to Veeam Backup & Replication for making my daily and weekly backups such a breeze. The automated features guarantee that our backup processes are not delayed, which is very important for the DR planning and execution. The security features are of the highest quality, thus I am assured that our data is safe. Besides, it is very easy to use and well-documented which saves me time when I am configuring and managing backups.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only small problem is that the licenses can be quite pricey, especially when you have to protect many machines. Besides, the monitoring feature through Veeam One is not free and therefore we need two licenses which seems like an extra switch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Veeam Data Platform is the solution to the problem of unreliable backups and complicated disaster recovery processes. The automated backups and strong security features of CrashPlan let me concentrate on the other important things without being afraid of data loss.
it is a must product on your system
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam can backup our local severs, plus replicating to our remote site with much of an afford. Their tech and sales support is the best in the industry. They always there to help out, and care of what I want.
What do you dislike about the product?
initial settings may be confusing. Also some changes need to be make on the databases instead of on the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
accidents do happens. if an admin removes a server unintensionally, Veeam can easily bring it bring.
Replcation to the remote site: least efford on changing settings.
