VEEAM for backups your way!
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility in fitting the software to an environment. Lots of ability to customize jobs to the specifics of the environment.

The flexibility also makes it feel like it takes longer to setup and ensure that everything is configured properly. Some customers might want a solution that covers you more quickly "out of the box".
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Went from an aging backup product to Veeam. Veeam integrates with HPE storage and provides a mechism for backing up our VMware environment.
Useful for workstation and infrastructure backups

It integrates well with vCenter and allows for full VM replication

There are a few Linux OS's that have an outdated client

Veam Backup and Restore
What do you like best about the product?
The ease and simplicity of Veam is much better than other software we have used.
What do you dislike about the product?
The configuration could be simpler. Also some of the plugin updates are lacking functionality.

It allows a fast restore of our Virtual environment. Either a whole VM or just file level.
Improved our backups as a small company
What do you like best about the product?
Super easy to setup and while veeam is expensive, backing up to an S3 container ended up making it cheaper than our previous solution. Customer support was great, even when we were trailing the software they treated us as if we owned it.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's complicated (but only because it can do so much) and there's a sticker shock for a small business upfront.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backing up our entire HyperV server. Before we were only making a copy of our file share and sending it to a remote server via ftp.
Veeam Data Platform
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using Veeam for many years and we have never had an issue. The installation and integratikon with our systems was easy. The recovery process is easy. For us, it is truly a set it and forget it solution. We use it for onsite VMs and local file & App data. We run multiple sessions - some hourly, some daily, and some archival monthly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have any complaints with Veeam.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Veeam provides a good mechanism for us to back up local VM's, files, and app data. It integrates with a third party program to send our data offsite backup location.

Really Like Ease of Use
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use the backup and replication console to backup and recover data/servers. Use it on a regular basis to restore files deleted by users. Their customer support has been great. Quick response time and very helpful. Easy to install.
What do you dislike about the product?
User friendly, however the software used to stop working every so often and require a reinstall but that has not happened in the last year at the very least so an update must have fixed that. Really no dislikes that I can think of, works well in my environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Makes recovering servers and data easier. We don't have to completely rebuild a server from scratch when something goes wrong. Makes it easier when we upgrade and have to transfer data. Has really saved us work this past year when we had to recover a couple of servers.
