Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Dealing with cloud solutions is simple and removes many headaches from troubleshooting and implementing the solution."
"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering."
"The application backup is excellent, and using Veeam for backing up Kubernetes environments is a valuable tool."
"I find Veeam to be a good tool for backing up Office 365 and virtual machine environments."
"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud’s most valuable feature is data backup and replication."
"I recommend it to other companies due to its reliable solutions, significant cost reductions, and comprehensive functionality."
"The flexibility provided by Veeam Data Platform's hybrid deployment options is very simple, efficient, and user-friendly."
"It helps with process restoration. With Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"One of the most valuable features is the integration. Another good feature is the instant recovery."
"The solution's instant recovery feature is good and allows you to capture and copy individual files."
"Integration with various applications, such as on-premises laptops and desktop backups, as well as applications and databases, is excellent."
"The platform has a useful disaster recovery feature."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its ease of management, it is not complicated, it is very reliable, has good support and a lot of knowledge on the market for integrators."
"The initial setup was not overly complex."
 

Cons

"Some of the prerequisites for Veeam are challenging."
"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."
"I do not have notes for improvements."
"There could be a feature to take a snapshot for version backup."
"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."
"Agent backups could be better. I have many problems with agent backups, particularly on Linux and MySQL databases. MySQL works well with Microsoft products but not with other products. The database backups are not working correctly, and we are losing business. I am not getting any support; administration is also a significant problem."
"The replication functionality only works for VMware environments. Veeam has a backup agent for AIX operating systems, and we will like to see the replication functionality available for the AIX operating system. Additionally, if the backup functionality for AIX to be included in the Veeam console would be an advantage."
"I have issues with the licensing."
"It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."
"Its licensing needs to be improved. Its licensing has become complex since last December. They have changed the way the product is licensed, and there is a lot of confusion. Sometimes, when a new version comes, it seems that it has not been tested enough because I usually find some bugs in it. It could also have more integration with other virtualization products, such as desktop virtualization products and open-source virtualization products."
"Sometimes Veeam is not that effective when it comes to legacy environments."
"There is always some room for improvement, especially with some of the different technologies such as DB2. Commvault has a DB2 agent, but Veeam still doesn't have it. We have to use the universal one for it."
"Veeam ONE could be improved if it had a better data recovery feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is affordable."
"Veeam is more reasonably priced than some competing products."
"We use the community edition of the Veeam Backup Replication and it is a software-based license. It can be a little expensive."
"It is not expensive and I would rate it five out of ten."
"I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."
"We are fine with its pricing policy."
"The price is a bit high."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"For what it does, the price is acceptable."
