Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows [EOL] Reviews

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.

We use Veeam for backing up our ESX servers. We back up all of our VMs on a daily basis and we replicate them off-site.

The Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is easy to use and performing a recovery is easy to do.

It is a lightweight application that does not consume a lot of resources.

We started with Zerto and moved to Veeam to save costs. It did the job but I wasn’t as impressed with the orchestration as it didn’t do the re-IP and spin up automatically. It caused some delays during the snapshot and replication process. We went from a 30 second RTO to a 2-3 hour RTO. Since that was still within our requirements and cost reduction was the goal, we stuck with Veeam.

This experience was at my last company so it’s 2 years ago. Had we started with Veeam, it’s likely we would have been fine with it but I was a bit spoiled starting with Zerto’s polished replication. We will likely go down the Veeam route again as we are about to initiate a DR project at Ariens and believe Veeam will be “good enough.”

I would like to see the capability for remote installation of third party applications added( Like installing WinRar MS Office etc..) , and Firewall for servers.

I have been using it personally for about five years, and for about one year at my current company.

The Veeam Agent is very stable. For the most part, this solution works successfully and we don't have a whole lot of failures.

I don't think that we've ever had any trouble scaling it out. We've never had a performance issue due to scalability and the backup has always run great.

The initial setup is probably more complex than we would like it to be, although, at the same time, I think that it is very reasonable. It took several weeks for us to get it set up.

We had to go through a partner to get their end set up, and getting permissions configured on the remote end was a little bit tricky. We had to have the right level of permissions, but once we got through those hurdles, I think that it was pretty seamless.

The next challenge was just getting Snapshots to replication quickly enough.

The pricing is good.

We are currently investigating Zerto. Our intention is to keep using Veeam, although we may be supplementing it with another solution. The goal is to get better RTOs on some of our critical servers.

My advice for anybody who is considering Veeam is to do a proof of concept first, to make sure that it works in your environment.

Overall, we are pretty happy with this product. Compared to what else is out there, it works well and it seems to have a lot of options.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

This solution is used for our private clients and customers. It is used for data protection in a data center.

The interface of this solution is quite good. 

We use all of the features that this solution offers to us. There is not one more specific than the other, so it is difficult to just select one feature as we are satisfied with all that is offered in this solution.

There is no trouble or lack of features within this solution, which is the reason we have chosen this solution to work with.

An area that this solution could be improved would be with the licensing.

This solution is quite stable. If a process or a service fails it is not always an issue of the instability of the solution itself. You can have some trouble with the infrastructure that lies right below the product itself.

They release periodic updates that sometimes fix bugs or glitches.

With our latest licensing, we have had no problem with scalability.

I have had recent experience or contact with technical support and I have no complaints. They work well and reply within a short time. 

Previously we used Nakivo, Veeam Backup and Replication, and Veeam Agent for Linux.

The deployment method is normally on-premises. 

For the most part, the setup is straightforward, depending on the solution that we implement for the customer. The complexities would depend on the customization.

The deployment time varies depending on the difficulties after implementation. A day after the implementation you have to do some fine-tuning activities. The tuning activities depend on the project. Sometimes you can implement and leave it with the customer as it is, whereas at other times it requires more tuning activities. When that happens you can expect that it will take days.

There are costs in addition to the standard licensing fees, and pricing can be a disadvantage or a weakness for this solution.

The monitoring of the management tools that you find embedded within the package that you buy, is quite enough. It's enough to manage a typical installation. 

If you need anything else then you will add onto the package that you buy. Moving from a standard to an enterprise version, you will add more features.

We are partners and resellers of Veeam Software.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten. I would recommend it, it is practically perfect.

The primary use case of this solution is to back up data.

The most valuable feature is the ability to navigate inside a backup point to look for a specific folder or data you want to recover.

I would like to see the ability for incremental backups and reverse backups.

The size of the installation can be reduced. It is currently around 300 megabytes compared with other solutions that include many features and have less of a storage footprint.

I have been using the solution for a few months.

Veeam is quite stable.

It can be installed on as many machines as you require.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The implementation was completed in-house.

The solution is free of cost for end users but for enterprise use, a license per user is required.

I give the solution seven out of ten.

The solution is resource-friendly and it doesn't consume much CPU and memory. You have the ability to continue working because it runs the backup in the background and does not slow down your system, especially with an SSD or NVMe drive.

I recommend this solution to anyone who doesn't require enterprise-grade features.

I use Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows for my VMware environments, all my production workloads, and Unix database boxes. It's for production and developers.

The most valuable features of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows are the backups, ease of use, and report manager.

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should improve by having more features, easier deployment, and compatibility with Unix boxes.

I have been using Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows for approximately five years.

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is stable.

The scalability of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is good, it can be done easily.

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is simple. It can be difficult for Unix boxes to be set up. If there was a script to set up the Unix boxes it would be good, there are not a lot of automatic configurations. There are a lot of configurations I have to do in the Unix box and the backup server.

We have two people that support Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows.

I would recommend this solution to others.

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

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is used for system backups.

The solution is meeting all of our client's requirements. It has good performance.

The solution's compression ratio and high speed for backing up can always improve. Aspects that need improvement are less time, better quality, higher security, and more compression. These are continuous requirements for any customer.

I have been using Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows for approximately six years.

The solution is stable.

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is scalable.

The difficulty of the installation depends on the environment of the business.

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

I primarily use Veeam Agent for backing up data and restoration. 

This solution is deployed on-premises. I'm not sure which version we are using, but it should be the latest one. 

The most valuable features are backup and restore. This solution is also easy to use. 

There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure. 

I have been using this solution for about four years. 

This solution is stable. 

This solution is scalable. In my organization, there are about 300 end users of Veeam Agent. 

The installation is straightforward. It took roughly 30 minutes, and I did it myself. 

We implemented this solution through an in-house team. For deployment and maintenance, we have a team of four admins. 

We pay for a three-year subscription to use Veeam Agent. 

I also evaluated Windows Backup. 

I rate this solution a 10 out of 10, and I would recommend Veeam Agent to others. 

We primarily use the solution for backup purposes. 

The solution is very easy to use. It's simple to navigate and it isn't over technical. It also has a very nice user interface with is very simple, especially if you compare it to other products.

The solution is extremely stable so far. 

The product is free to use. We don't have to pay for a license. 

Technical support has been very helpful and quick to respond.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

It would be ideal with we could move the data to a physical server. Right now, we can only make it move to the standby server, however, it must be the virtualization, must be the Veeam servers. I'm speaking of replication. If they could let you can do replication to physical servers - a backup from physical servers and a replication to physical servers - that will be better.

Other than that, the solution really isn't missing any functionality or features. We're quite happy with it.

We've used the solution for the past five years or so. It's been a while. I have a lot of experience with it.

The solution has proven itself to be very stable. Its performance is good and it's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

The solution is scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so rather easily.

We have about 20 customers that are using the solution currently.

We've been in touch with technical support in the past and they have been very quick to respond to us. They are knowledgeable and helpful. We're quite happy with their level of support.

The solution is very easy to implement. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

The deployment times vary. It depends on how many servers you have to deploy. For reference, one server typically takes between ten to 20 minutes to set up.

We are capable of implementing the solution to our clients if they need us to.

The solution is free. It doesn't cost us anything to use it. We don't pay any licensing fees. 

We are both using the solution and implementing it for our customers.

We are using the latest version of the solution at this time.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. We've been very happy with it so far.

I would definitely recommend the product to other users, companies, and organizations.
