Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] Reviews

We use the latest version of this solution that's on-prem. Our primary use case of this solution is to back up our system. It's our main backup.

This solution has improved my organization because if someone accidentally deletes or corrupts something, we have multiple sources to restore them. If we lose a whole server, we can restore that server. It's quick and easy. If a site blows up, I get to rebuild that site. 

They update quickly. 

The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution. 

It could use deduplication features.

It's incredibly stable. I've never had any issues or a corruption of the software itself. 

It's absolutely scalable. From one local site to multiple hundreds of sites around the world. Mostly local IT interact with this solution. The infrastructure staff also looks after it. Anywhere between ten to thirty people use it. 

We use it as our primary backup resource and we use basic copy backups. It's fully utilized across our whole system. 

Their technical support could be better. I will often find a solution to a problem before they get back to me. If it's marked as an emergency it won't take as long. It really depends on who you get. If it's an experienced technician or someone who's on their fourth day and doesn't have his act together. 

We used Symantec as a backup application and we used a Windows backup. From a commercial and scalability point of view, the system just needs it. The fact that we have backups there that are actually off the main system even if there is a corruption or hack it won't affect the backup.

The initial setup is very simple. It's a standard part of our process. We build a site, we install backup servers, and we install drives in remote backup locations. Then we continue clicking the "next" button until we're finished. It's easy. 

The deployment is instantaneous but you have to run your own job input into the servers and decide what time you want them to run. It's easy to do an entire site. It takes a couple of hours. 

I did the integration myself. 

The licensing model depends on the usage, size, and features that you use. We are at an enterprise level but there are higher levels that you can get to. The standard level and essentials can give you what you need. 

We looked at quite a few different options. At the end with all of the usability, scalability, and information, I used to get most of that from Symantec. It's going to integrate seamlessly into the system. 

If you have the money to buy this solution, you should because it makes life a lot easier. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten. Not a ten because sometimes the reporting is lacking. Sometimes you can get an error. Something will go wrong but you can't clearly see what. 

We sell the latest version of Veeam Agent for Linux. 

It's simple to use.

There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible.

It depends on the customer, but we have been using Veeam Agent for Linux for some years now, and we have no problem.

It's stable. You just have to deploy the updates regularly, and that's it.

I don't have direct experience but one of our customers had. He was quite positively surprised. He opened a support case with level 3, which means it's not so urgent. After a few days, when there was no response for him, he opened a new case with level 1. Then they called him straight away and solved the problem.

The initial setup is straight forward. It's simple to install, but then you have to configure it. There are always some specific situations to be considered and put into the plan and then accordingly, consider the solution.

The deployment depends on the configuration, that is, whether you have big environments or small environments. If you have just a few servers, then deployment takes two to three hours altogether, but if you have a big environment, then it takes a couple of days.

If you have a Linux environment and you need to protect it via an agent, that's when you have to use it. Otherwise, you just don't use it. You back up this little machine without initiation.

It is very good, and it fits the purpose. That's a 10 out of 10.

The primary use case of this solution is for backup and recovery.

The most valuable feature is that I can restore single files.

The user interface is good.

I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server.

If I can make the VBR (Veeam Backup Replication) a proxy on Linux instead of Windows it would be an improvement in regards to security.

Also, I would like to see Veeam take a backup for shares. If they can take backups from storage then they should be able to backup up for just shares.

This solution is stable.

I haven't been using it heavily in the four months that I have been using this solution, but so far I would say that it stable.

I haven't tried to scale this solution yet, but I would say that it is easy.

I have not contacted technical support yet.

I have only had one issue but I was able to solve it.

The initial setup was straightforward, not difficult.

The documentation available is good.

I did not implement this solution through a vendor, I implemented it myself for a medium-sized company.

I haven't explored all of what this solution has to offer as I have only been using it for four months, but so far it's good and I would recommend it.

In the next release, I would like to see Veeam installed in Linux instead of Windows, that is the main concern for me. Some locations avoid using Veeam because of this, being installed on a Windows Server and not Linux. This would be a huge improvement.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple. The support is great. There is a feature for this type of category and for replication and there is also good monitoring and analytics. I also like intelligent testing and intelligence recovery. The solution offers good data management.

I am really satisfied with this solution and I don't see anything that needs to improve.

The solution is very stable.

We have about 500 users and it is very simple to scale. Veeam comes with all the software to scale, so it is just the license that is an issue. Now they have better hardware to go full scalability. 

The technical support is good.

The costing is very competitive.

Everything works well and the solution is user-friendly, so I will rate it nine out of ten. In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location. I would recommend Veeam to others.

Currently, we have an SAP server that is doing the snapshot. We use Veeam Agent to avoid the snapshot from freezing on the server.

The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files.

The integration needs improvement. It should be easier for my admins.

We have used Veeam for 10 years and added Veeam Agent for Linux recently because we had a need for it.

We started using this solution a couple of months ago.

We are using the latest version.

The stability is pretty good. We are satisfied.

We have a new project that is coming up in the next couple of months with 100 servers with agents. It will be very good.

We are in France, Vietnam, Mauritius, Canada, and Hong Kong. Globally, we have 800 users.

We are very satisfied with Veeam's technical support.

My colleagues have installed the agent on the server. After that, we chose to deploy the agent from the Veeam VBR server, which is more practical for use and more available.

I am a part of a team with 50 people who deploy and maintain this solution.

Licensing costs are monthly.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Veeam Agent for Linux an eight out of ten.

I like the backup features of this solution and the integration is very useful. 

In the next version, I would like to see inclusion for functionality and an improved operating system. 

The technical support is good.

The initial setup was easy and straightforward. The deployment was done by myself and it was not difficult at all.

The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high. There are also additional costs that are not included in the standard licensing. 

On a scale of one to ten, I will rate this solution an eight. Something that needs to improve is compatibility with all the operating systems so that they operate smoothly. That will improve the backup function. 

The primary use for the solution is to protect production servers, as well as endpoint and desktop protection.

The solution is very simple. Management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution.

Right now, the solution has responded to our needs, and there are also lots of new functionalities that we are not even yet, so I can't speak to features that may be missing. For us, it works very well.

The solution is extremely stable.

The platform is so stable, we haven't had any reason to reach out to technical support. In general, our own IT has been able to troubleshoot the solution without needing the help of support.

The initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment took about 30 minutes.

My colleague deployed the solution.

We use the on-premises version of the solution.

I would rate the solution at 8.5 out of ten.
