A stable and scalable backup solution that has a good recovery data backup feature
Pros and Cons
  • "Recovery of backup data is the most valuable feature."
  • "The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper."

What is our primary use case?

It is used both as a virtual server and a physical server for enterprise backup that run different applications.

How has it helped my organization?


What is most valuable?

Recovery of backup data is the most valuable feature.

What needs improvement?

The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper. Also, Veeam should provide more training for the partners so that they are able to give better support to customers. In the next release, I want to see full integration with the cloud.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for more than five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution. Stability depends on the implementation. If you make an error in implementation, the environment will not be stable once you get it right through an implementation; remember, it will be stable. Most of the time, the software is very stable; it's human usage and implementation. That's why it's important to do the proper gathering of information and proper assessment of the environment before you do anything.


What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. I rate its scalability an eight out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

Some renew, and some don't renew the support. Those who know the value of it will always renew it because if there's any issue, we can always go to the backend to get the system. After all, they're the experts on it.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy. I rate its setup phase an eight out of ten. The deployment does not take more than a week once you do the initial information gathering properly. Install it on a physical server, maybe Windows or Linux, then install the clients to this agent, in other sense, if there's any agent for it on the respective servers that need the agents.


What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing depends on the number of clients. We pay 10,00 USD per year. On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten.


What other advice do I have?

It is recommended that those planning to use the solution follow the best practices for implementation. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Excellent for aggregation of logs and centralizing the view of different tools
Pros and Cons
  • "Veeam ONE effectively centralizes the view of different tools."
  • "It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is to centralize the view of different tools, specifically the vCenter and Veeam Backup and Replication.

The initial setup is straightforward.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I would rate it 10 out of 10 because it is free with the license that our organization has already purchased.

What other advice do I have?

It's important to ensure that the targets they want to monitor are supported by the solution. It is a crucial consideration that needs to be taken into account before implementing Veeam ONE.

Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten.

Effective on-premise backups, reliable, and good technical support
Pros and Cons
  • "The backups we have been receiving from Veeam Backup Replication on-premise have been good."
  • "The cloud backups from Veeam Backup Replication have not been good. Addiotnaally, the backups of Office 365 and the overall performance can always be improved."

What is our primary use case?

I am using Veeam Backup Replication for backups.

What is most valuable?

The backups we have been receiving from Veeam Backup Replication on-premise have been good.

What needs improvement?

The cloud backups from Veeam Backup Replication have not been good. Addiotnaally, the backups of Office 365 and the overall performance can always be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Veeam Backup Replication for approximately seven years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have not encountered any problems with the stability of Veeam Backup Replication.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is good from Veeam Backup Replication.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support from Veeam Backup Replication is good.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Veeam Backup Replication can be quite expensive for Office 365 because its license is per user and not for the space that you use. You need one license for each user. If the user only uses a few files on one hard drive, you need a license to back up these files. It was better to have a license model, such as in the Cohesity solution. Cohesity has a license for a space that you use. It's more useful in this case because the license for backup data is on-premises is for CPU. The license is based on how many CPUs you have but it does not depend on how many users use the CPU. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have evaluated Cohesity. I have a demo version that they gave me.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Veeam Backup Replication an eight out of ten.
