Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows [EOL] Reviews

I am a senior backup and recovery administrator and I am concentrating on these solutions.

This solution was deployed in a private cloud environment. We have switched to Commvault from this solution due to problems arising from its use with Hyper-V.

This solution is very compatible with the virtual environment.

Application awareness is very good and the speed of this solution is good.

We can power on the virtual machine from the backup site, without having to move it to the main site.

This solution provides the best storage value.

The interface is very easy to use.

This solution has many issues with the VSS (Volume Snapshot Service) when working with the Hyper-V solution. They are related to networking and a need to restart the host.

The stability of this solution needs to be improved.

We used it with windows server 2012 R2 and we faced many problems related to the VSS service, the backup failed due to some issues with the VSS service and the solution was to restart not the service but the host totally to back again in full function. it was very bad situation especially we are talking about Hyper-V host with many production machines.

Honestly, i ca't be sure that the reason in veeam, may be in the window.

This solution is not as stable as some others that I have used, such as Commvault and Veritas NetBackup.

This is a scalable solution.

Technical support for this solution is very good. They care about the customers and their needs.

I have worked with many backup solutions over the years, including:

• IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (IBM TSM)
• HP Data Protector (now Micro Focus Data Protector)
• Symantec NetBackup (now Veritas NetBack, nine years experience)
• Veeam (four years)
  

The problems that we were experiencing using this solution led us to switch to Commvault. We spent some time researching the best solutions for the Nutanix environment, and we concluded that Commvault was the best choice.

I am aware that a new version of Veeam has since been released, but we needed a backup solution for Hyper-V and Nutanix. 

The initial setup of this solution is easy for a technical person.

If you are using a virtual environment, are concerned with application awareness, and want a solution that is easy to use and administrate, then I recommend using this product. 

In general, it depends on the environment.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for backup and restore purposes.

So far, I've found the solution to be easy to use. It's fast and reliable as well. I can access whatever I need on very short notice.

Also, with Veeam I don't need to install Agent on every machine, unlike Veritas, one of its competitors. This makes it a more efficient solution.

So far, the solution has been working very well for us.

Maybe in the future, they could do something better with the user interface and the performance, but so far it's a really good, efficient solution.

The solution is still new to us, but so far I haven't faced any stability issues.

Technical support has been good. I haven't needed them so far, but they did ask if I wanted help with the implementation and the deployment. I didn't need anything, but they were very friendly. 

The initial setup was straightforward. It was very easy. Deployment only took about one hour with configuration and everything considered.

We are using the solution for different types of software, including Windows, Linux, SQL databases, etc. We use the on-premises deployment model. We have five or six administrators using the model currently.

I would rate this solution ten out of ten. I'd recommend it to others.

We are a solution provider and we supply backup solutions to our clients. This solution is used for backing up Windows Servers. We do not use it in-house.

We are using an on-premises deployment model.

I have found that this solution has many good points.

The problems with this solution are generally tied to the Windows environment.

I would like to have a more automated installation process.

We have no complaints about the stability of this solution.

We only work in a small environment, so scalability is not something that we have had to address.

I have never needed to contact technical support.

Veritas was the leader in the market perhaps ten years ago. But since that time, many other companies like Veeam have come to the front. Veeam is a really good software application, whereas Veritas is a very complex product.

The initial setup of this solution is simple and it is very quick to deploy.

We use and evaluate many different backup and recovery solutions.

This is a good product with a simple environment. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I use the Veeam backup solution for our VR infrastructure.

We are using the on-premises deployment model.

The most valuable features are the flexibility and stability of the product.

The technical support is also very good.

If I'm trying to locate an item to restore from one of the backups, I would appreciate the ability to perform a global search on the catalog. This includes all backups from the entire infrastructure.

I would like to have more flexibility in terms of reporting details about the backup. Specifically, I would like to get it from the whole infrastructure, instead of each one of the jobs.

We use this solution on a daily basis.

For our needs, this solution is very scalable. We have approximately four hundred users.

I am very satisfied with the technical support and availability.

The initial setup of this solution is very straightforward. The deployment took a few hours.

Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis.

This is a solution that I recommend.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We use the solution for disaster recovery of backups and applications.

The solution's most valuable features are performance and stability.

There should also be an option to use the solution for physical machines.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution.

We have been using Commvault for some time. It works well.

The solution's initial setup is straightforward. It takes around six hours to configure. The process includes knowing prerequisites, like the sizing of the environment, the bandwidth, the CPU, the RAM and the number of virtual machines, storage capacity, etc.

Our in-house team implemented the solution. We require four executives for its deployment and maintenance.

They provide subscription-based as well as yearly-based licenses for the solution. The costs are reasonable and as per industry standards.

The solution is straightforward to deploy. Once installed, it's easy to manage as well. I rate it an eight.

We have one solution that is purely on-premise and another where we make the initial backup on-premise but send a copy to the cloud provider.

We use Veeam Agent for security as well as to ensure we have a backup should the server or discs fatally die. We are a small company with just one building, we want to be sure that should a server be gone we have a backup in the cloud so that we can survive.

We currently have between two and three users for this solution and one team member responsible for the maintenance and deployment.

The performance of Veeam Agent for Windows is good.

I have been using Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows for three years.

Veeam Agent is a very stable solution.

Our environment is not very large, however, in a bigger environment, I don't believe it would be a problem.

In the past, we had been using Backup Exec.

The installation of Veeam Agent is straightforward. The initial setup takes two to three hours.

We pay a license fee. A lower price would always be beneficial.

I recommend using this solution. I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

We have one customer that has three or four servers and those are Windows servers. We have to use the agent only.

Any laptop or desktop that is Windows can use it, as well as physical servers. We don't use this with virtual servers.

The solution works really well. 

It offers all the features we need.

Normal file recovery is there and quite helpful.

You can mount the shared folder, the backup folder, in order to do the backup. 

The solution is stable.

The product can scale.

We found the initial setup to be quite simple. 

The solution lacks instant recovery.

Specific file and file-level backup are not there. That is the challenge.

We have a customer that has been using the solution for more than two years, and another customer that has had it for a year or more.

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

We have three or four customers that are using the solution. 

Even if you have different licenses, the technical support remains the same.  We haven't had any issues with support in general.

The implementation process is straightforward. It's not overly complex or difficult.

Anyone who understands the installation just has to go through and click, click, next, done. There is not much configuration needed as everything is done on the management console.

You only need one technical person to handle the initial setup and any maintenance. We have three or four individuals who are capable.

We were able to handle the installation ourselves, in-house. We did not need a consultant or integrator to assist us.

You don't have to pay a monthly or yearly licensing fee. It's already built-in.  

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. I've mostly been quite happy with the product.

I would recommend this solution to other users and companies. 

We use this solution in Windows and in Linux, to pick up individual files to create a system image on the server.

It is easy to deploy.

In the next release, I would like to see it easier to implement. It may be an issue internally, where something was missed in the installation.

We have been using this solution for a year and we are using the latest version.

It's a stable solution.

It's a stable product.

We have two servers with Veeam Agent for Windows.

We are always satisfied with technical support.

Previously, we had not used another solution.

 I was not involved in the installation.

You only need one admin to maintain this solution.

We have a license package.

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

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