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.

Offers detailed reports to users, and it is easy to maintain
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution in my company to monitor the backup status and to plan in areas like capacity planning, such as how much current backup utilization is used. The tool can maybe predict the future trend of the data groups and their growing size.
What is most valuable?
The solution's most valuable feature is that its reports are detailed compared to other tools. It can integrate with VMware, and it can see VMware's recent status while it can receive alerts for Veeam Backup. The tool can be highly integrated with VMware and other Veeam solutions. Reporting-wise, the product is good. You can choose any templates for your report from the solution's consolidated data.
What needs improvement?
The tool should add more hypervisors inside it, like Hyper-V or Nutanix since it is an area of concern in the solution currently.
I feel that the product's support team needs improvement.
I feel that there are some new features in the new version of the product, which is Veeam ONE 12.1, and it also has some anti-malware functionalities. I have not found the new features in the product to be useful because it has so many false positives. The product needs to be integrated with some antivirus solution so that its new features can be used in a better way.

I have been using Veeam ONE for three to four years. My company has a partnership with Veeam ONE.

Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
My company uses Arcserve and some products from China, like Vinchin. Acronis was also a solution that was used in my company in the past. So far, we found that Veeam ONE is quite good compared to other products. Veeam ONE is balanced in terms of its interface, backup design concepts, and backup infra.
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase was quite straightforward.
One person can manage the product's installation phase.
The solution can be deployed in two to three hours. You just let it run with SQL and some other things. The installation process is quite straightforward. I just follow the installation steps, and it can be done easily.
What was our ROI?
I have seen some time-saving benefits from the use of the product in my country, up to 20 to 30 percent.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I consider that the product's price falls under the middle range category.
What other advice do I have?
The solution is easy to maintain, but so far, we didn't have any major issues with the tool.
Actually, in our organization, we didn't go for any compliance parts with the tool. For our customers, we went for some audit purposes to meet some compliance requirements. Veeam ONE can generate some particular compliance report files from its users' available data.
I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

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.
