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.

    I have been using Veeam ONE for eight years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The stability of Veeam ONE is good.

    Protects our server data in an affordable way
    Pros and Cons
    • "The advantage of Veeam Backup and Replication is that it is very economical. The price is affordable and the cost benefit is good."
    • "My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss."

    What is our primary use case?

    My company is an end user customer of Veeam Backup and Replication and we use it for storing and protecting our server backups.

    What is most valuable?

    The advantage of Veeam Backup and Replication is that it is very economical. The price is affordable and the cost benefit is good.

    What needs improvement?

    My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss.

    Beyond improving on the security measures, I don't have further expectations for Veeam Backup and Replication.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Veeam Backup and Replication for two years. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I have no doubts about the stability of Veeam. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    At the moment it is not necessary for us to scale up our usage of Veeam but I can say that I believe it is very capable of being scaled, should the need arise.

    How are customer service and support?

    The support we get is very helpful, but it is not through Veeam directly. We use a Veeam partner called Netgroup Solutions to help us and they have been good.

    How was the initial setup?

    The installation of Veeam Backup and Replication was very easy. 

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

    A nice aspect of Veeam's pricing is that the cost benefit is good. It's very economical.

    What other advice do I have?

    Veeam Backup and Replication is a good product and I would rate it a ten out of ten.

    User-friendly interface, multiple licensing options available, and the support is good
    Pros and Cons
    • "The interface is very user-friendly."
    • "In the future, Veeam should release a hardware backup appliance that can be integrated with their software."

    What is our primary use case?

    We are a solution provider and we deal with different backup solutions including Veeam Backup & Replication. This is something that we do on a project basis and have been doing for a long time.

    We primarily use this solution for backup and replication; we buy the software and map it to our customer's requirements.

    What is most valuable?

    The interface is very user-friendly. The customers in my region are happy with it.

    What needs improvement?

    No product is 100% and there is always room for improvement. One of the downsides to Veeam is that it's just software-based. In the future, Veeam should release a hardware backup appliance that can be integrated with their software.

    Better integration with other products would be an improvement.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    Veeam Backup & Replication

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    This is a stable product.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Scalability is not an issue with this solution. There are multiple licensing options available to handle different environments. For example, there is a 10-pack of VM licenses available as an option.

    How are customer service and support?

    Based on the communication that I have had with my peers, my understanding is that the support we have had from Veeam has been great.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    We deal with Commvault, depending on the project, and we are also a distributor of Arcserve.

    How was the initial setup?

    As a presales engineer, I have not been part of the installation.

    What about the implementation team?

    If needed, we do the installation for our clients. Our technical process team is responsible for that.

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

    There are multiple licensing options available to handle environments of varying sizes. The price is quite competitive compared to other products in my region.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    The customer is the one that chooses the backup solution. For example, they will come to us and say "We want Veeam Backup and Replication", and then we provide the licenses to them.

    What other advice do I have?

    This is a product that I definitely recommend for small businesses.

    Overall, this is a good product but there is always room for improvement. If Veeam released a hardware appliance to work with their software, then I would rate them a ten out of ten.

    I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Useful snapshot and replication features, but not recommended for large enterprises
    Pros and Cons
    • "It is a stable product with useful snapshot and replication features."
    • "The VMotion feature is not reliable enough to ensure a successful migration operation."

    What is our primary use case?

    It's used to replicate the production environment from the primary side to the backup, or between two data centres.

    What is most valuable?

    The most important are the snapshot and the replication features. VMotion for replication of the production is useful, but it's not really important. We don't use these features every day.

    What needs improvement?

    I'd like to have this kind of solution, but in the Cloud environment. I think there are other solutions that address the same requirements, like Commvault, which can be used easily in AWS on the S3 environment.

    This VMotion feature is not mastered by any expert and we don't use it for replication. If we are migrating and relocating the primary site to another site, we do it in two steps. So at the primary site, we switch it with the backup and then vice versa. We then relocate it to another site. When we wanted to use VMotion to make the switch from the primary site to the backup site, there were some difficulties with it. It's not reliable enough to be 100% sure that there will be no failure in the operation.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using it for eight months.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Once it's in place, the product is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I don't haven't enough knowledge about that yet because I've only been using it for eight months. We haven't had enough transaction volume yet.

    How are customer service and support?

    With this solution, I have an integrator helping me with all the infrastructure. I rely a lot on these experts because they know the solution very well.

    How was the initial setup?

    It was quite difficult to put this solution in place and I don't think we use all the features, like VMotion. 

    What other advice do I have?

    I would rate this solution a five out of ten. 

    VM is suited for small and medium enterprises. In big enterprises with a complex IT infrastructure, the solution is not suitable.
