Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows [EOL] Reviews

We primarily use the solution for the backup of Windows on Oracle machines. We use it for the back on other machines as well. 

It's a simple way to back up the database. 

The initial setup, if it is error-free, is very simple. 

The solution is inexpensive.

We've had several issues with Veeam and one of our customers. For the last three to six months, the client had to deploy all of their VMs on both sides. After the redeployment, it's been easier. The initial implementation was not so easy.

There need to be more error codes to help us understand when something is going wrong. 

The VM databases can be a bit difficult as there are not enough error codes available to understand what is going on. It would help us resolve customer issues if there was more visibility on errors. 

Troubleshooting is very hard. 

It would be nice to have some sort of GUI interface as opposed to dealing with the CLI or PowerScripts. 

We've used the solution for a while. We've used it for the last six months. 

The stability is good. I'd rate it seven out of ten. Troubleshooting I'd rate at zero out of ten. When you run into issues, it's complex. 

This is a physical solution. It doesn't scale per se, although it comes in different sizes. 

We have three to four people using the solution. 

Our customer does not have an active technical support contract. Therefore, we do not deal with support.

The installation is not the simplest. We've had issues and had to redeploy our client's VMs.

The initial setup is very easy. The problems start when you run into errors. 

The ease of setup, without issues, is ten out of ten. 

The deployment takes several hours. We had one person on our side and one person on the customer side to handle the deployment. Only one person is needed for maintenance. 

We handle the deployment of our customers. They supervise the process. 

The solution is very cheap. I'd rate the affordability ten out of ten. 

A customer might use the product for up to five years before having to replace it. 

We previously were partners with Veeam.

Aside from troubleshooting issues, which are difficult, the solution is good. 

I would rate the solution seven out of ten overall.

I rate Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows a seven out of ten.

We bought the Veeam Enterprise license for Linux and Microsoft backup for the virtual machines running on those operating systems. The reason we bought this software is that I have a lot of experience with Veeam software. When I compare Veeam with the storage manager from IBM or data protocol from HP or Exeter or some backups from Dell, Veeam is superior. I could buy these other products but Veeam is best because it is very user-friendly as well as being a very great solution.  

In addition to my personal experience and opinion, when we bought this software, our virtualization software only had a standard license and it did not have a replication function. Veeam Enterprise has the replication of function. We chose this backup software because Veeam has a backup and replication center which is additional functionality that we needed.  

The most valuable feature in Veeam is that it is a very user-friendly and intuitive software.  

The only things that I can think of where Veeam can improve are in very small details. For example, there are some things that I would prefer included in reporting on backups that are currently missing. This is not a problem with the product that needs to be repaired, it is my personal use case that I hope can be addressed.  

We have been using Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows for about one year.  

I think that Veeam helps to create a stable environment with virtual servers. I only restart the windows server after installing Microsoft updates, not because something has become unstable. Veeam is very useful in the installation process and it is useful software. I do not have any problem with this product.  

Veeam's scalability is perfect. I don't have any problems scaling if needed.  

The initial setup is not complex and I find that it is very straightforward. It is also very quick. It only takes maybe three hours.  

Pricing is primarily a concern for my managers and our management team.  

The pricing model for Veeam has changed. I bought an older license and I thought that when I bought one CPU license for a virtual machine that I could use that license for Microsoft or VMware. Now, with the change in the licensing model, I have to choose if this license is for VMware or Microsoft before I buy a new license. It just means that users need to be somewhat more careful when choosing which license they need.  

On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate Veeam on Microsoft Windows as a nine-out-of-ten.  

What I would expect in order to make this product a ten-of-ten is that they will add some details in reporting about the backup jobs. They need to just fill this little hole in the software by adding details in the reports that are not currently included and it is really giving me everything I need as a user.  

I would recommend Veeam to others who are looking into implementing it.  

We use the solution to function as our backup infrastructure.

The solution is straightforward to use.

They should improve the solution's automation features.

We have been using the solution for a year.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution. We have implemented it on around 1000 servers. We have plans to increase the licenses, but it depends on the infrastructure and usage.

I used NetBackup earlier. I found its license assessment, setup process, and infrastructure more complicated than Veeam.

The initial setup process of the solution is more accessible than other products. It takes a few hours to deploy it. The process consists of setting up the infrastructure and deploying the solution to the endpoint.

Our in-house administrator executes the deployment and maintenance of the solution.

It is easier to generate ROI for other products compared to Veeam.

We purchase a yearly license for the solution. It is less expensive than Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.

I rate the solution as an eight.

If you need to back up a Windows environment, then Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is a good choice, because it works. This is our use case for the solution.

The compatibility of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows with other solutions is good. Its integration with other solutions is also good. I also find the product user-friendly.

Everything is good with the solution. The only thing that's not as good with Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is the compression ratio and the application ratio.

They should also offer better reports, for better monitoring.

We've been dealing with the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows for a few years now. We've been more focused on the Windows version of the Veeam Agent compared to the Linux version, so we've been selling it longer.

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows has good stability.

The scalability of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is very good.

The support for Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is quite good, as what I've heard from our technical team. Support can always be faster and more knowledgeable, but it's working fine currently, so that is not an issue.

The initial setup for the product was straightforward.

For the licensing of the product, it will be your choice as a customer, e.g. if you want to pay monthly for it, or pay yearly, it's up to you.

We were able to evaluate Veeam Cloud Connect.

We've been dealing with Veeam Cloud Connect. We're also dealing with Veeam One and all the other products there, and it depends on what the customer needs. We've been selling all of those solutions, including the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows.

We have under 1,000 users of the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows.

I absolutely can recommend the product to other people.

I'm rating the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows an eight out of ten.

The solution is primarily a backup and recovery software, offering data protection and disaster recovery solution for physical virtual machines, for the local virtual machines on the physical servers using the Veeam backup solution. 

It works fine. I don't have any major problems with the agent connectivity with Microsoft applications or Microsoft Azure. It's working fine for the local and the cloud application for backups.

The product is stable.

I have found the solution to be scalable.

My understanding is that the initial setup was a straightforward process.

The solution could always offer a bit more. 

With the currency exchange, the solution ends up being quite expensive. It would be ideal if they could make it so that it was cheaper for users in our region.

I started working with the solution about two to three years ago.

The stability is good. The solution offers good performance There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and we haven't had any problems with it at all so far. 

If a company needs to scale the solution, it can do so. It's not a problem.

We have ten customers that use the solution at this time. 

We've dealt with technical support in the past. We asked them two times about an issue, and they were very helpful and helped us to solve our issues. We are satisfied with the level of support they offer.

Another person on my team handles the implementation directly. I simply supervise the process. From my supervisory role, I'd say the implementation process was straightforward. 

We have one person that's able to handle deployment and maintenance tasks. They are an engineer and an implementor. 

We can provide implementation services to our clients. 

Customers need to pay for a license for Veeam Agent for Windows. Typically, it's a yearly licensing fee.

For us here in Egypt, it's very expensive, as the dollar versus the Egyptian pound is at a high rate. When we change the currency from the dollar to the Egyptian pound, we end up with a very expensive license.

We are solution providers.

I would recommend the solution to others. Overall, I'd rate it at an eight out of ten. 

The solution is useful for taking backups for end-user laptops and end-user workstations where data is involved. An example would be that of my CEO's laptop, which contains political business. We simply take a backup of it and store it in an external drive. 

The support could be improved and made faster. There is zero support. The reporting part and customization for backup policy can also be improved.

I have been using the solution for two years. 

When it comes to scalability, I have no choice but to continue using the solution, as I have already paid for it. 

The support could be improved a lot, as it is currently non-existent. 

Installation is very easy and takes around ten minutes.

The licensing costs are a standard annual fee of one thousand dollars.

The price is fine. The solution is inexpensive, more so than other products.

As mentioned, the support is our primary issue.

I rate Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows as an eight out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to other users.

We primarily use the solution for business continuity and backup and recovery.

Mostly, the solution offers very good peace of mind. We feel safe and secure and know that we are able to recover anything we need to.

I haven't had any disasters, so I haven't had to actually do a full restore.

The solution is extremely stable.

The ability to go into the virtual machine and do a file extraction has been quite useful as I have staff members and teachers that will either misplace or accidentally delete a file. They then rely on me to go get it for them. It's quite useful.

I basically just set it and forget it and use it to check my reports. If my reports look good, I don't even mess with it, I just let it do its thing. It's very hands-off.

The solution is very affordable for small businesses.

I can't think of anything that may be missing. I have basic replication and backup in place and it's doing what I want.

I've been using the solution for 2014. It's been a few years at this point. It's been about six years. I have nine virtual servers and two physical hosts that I am backing up with this.

The solution is very, very stable. It's extremely reliable. There aren't issues with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash and freeze. We've had it since 2015. I've updated it once, and so far, it's been working great.

I'm unsure of the scalability aspect of the solution. It fits my environment and works great. The solution is very good for smaller entities such as businesses and schools. I haven't however, tried to scale anything.

I would at a K-12 school and all students and teachers benefit from the technology.

I've had to reach out to technical support in the past. They've been great. I'd rate them ten out o ten. The couple of times I've called in, they were wonderful. They were very fast response and resolved my problem quickly.

I didn't previously use a different solution, and I also don't plan to change from this one. I have a quote with me right now that I will fire off in order to start the renewal process.

The initials setup was not complex. It was very straightforward. We didn't face any issues during the setup process.

We've found the solution to be very reasonably priced.

I'm just a Veeam customer and end-user. I don't have a business relationship with the company.

I've got a Veeam agent for Linux and I've got a Veeam agent for Microsoft Windows. I've also got Veeam Cloud Connect and backup for Office 365.

I'm using Veeam Backup Essentials for Enterprise. The two-socket edition is currently what I'm running on this site.

I tend to do an on-prem backup and then I replicate to the cloud.

I would advise other organizations to talk to your local rep to get full details on what the product can do for you. That way you can use it to its fullest capability.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. It's functioned well, saved my butt for firewall retrieval and pulling some data that was corrupted and customer service has been great.
