Veeam Data Platform Reviews

I primarily use the solution for replication, backup, and disaster recovery.

It's basically BaaS, Backup as a Service in in physical and virtual environments, 

and DRaaS, Disaster Recovery as a Service. It allows for backups on-premise. 

The solution allows for incremental backup and incremental reverse. It's very helpful. 

Overall, it's a good product. The tool is very important to our organization. 

They've gone ahead and improved 90% of the tool. They have the software that we need and we've really enjoyed using them overall.

The solution is easy to install and the programming is pretty basic.

The solution can work for companies no matter the size or scope.

In the future, I would like to see the product offer a full backup, virtual machines, and point systems as well as database and application power in the Veeam Backup. There needs to be more integration with VMware and the virtual machine.

For my client, bandwidth is a problem. We do not know the sizing of the environment and it's a problem in every RPO in the time of sizing. This is a big problem.

If the solution could offer a backup for SAN as part of its functionality, that would be a major advantage in comparison to other software companies. It is made for VMware. This is a specialty tool for VMware virtual machines. It would be ideal if it could also be for Veeam and you didn't have to leverage it via VMware. 

I've been using the solution for about three years at this point.

We handle all sizes of company. It doesn't matter if it is medium, large, or small - including government organizations and banks, which can be quite sizable.

I don't have too many tickets with Veeam, however, I do find it hard to communicate with them. They could be better in that sense. I do use them rarely, although I do have an open ticket right now.

I'm also using CloudConnect, as well.

The initial setup is not overly complex. It's pretty easy to install. For us, the implementation is straightforward, as it is what we do. We handle implementations for a variety of clients.

We handle the implementation ourselves for our clients. We don't need an implementor or consultant to help us.

We have looked at other solutions in the past - for example, VMware.

The difference is in licensing. Veeam is licensed via a virtual machine or a physical machine. Other companies have a different setup.

However, VMware is very easy to use in terms of functionality, and the console makes it easier to create jobs from a backup.

We are partners with Veeam.

We have the solution on-premise in our data center. I have platforms in VMware and Hyper-V.

I'd recommend the solution to other organizations. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

We use it to guarantee the uptime of our services and servers. We are using its latest version.

The peace of mind of the backup is very important. Incremental backups make it fast and easy to use.

We can recover from any failures in case of any hardware failures or malware attacks. We can do a rollback and recover our services with a little downtime. We can rollback even in the case of unsuccessful updates.

They have an integration with MS SQL, and you have to license MS SQL. This is something they need to change. They should go for an open-source database or a free SQL because you're already buying this product, and you shouldn't have to buy another product.

I have been using this solution for a little over a year.

It is very stable.

It is scalable. It is just a complaint about MS SQL, but with everything else, it is really scalable. You can just add resources and use what you need. It is really flexible. We have six analysts who use this solution.

I have never used their technical support.

It is fairly easy to set up the solution. The deployment took just a few hours. Generally, two business days would be enough.

I would advise planning your deployments ahead of time and predicting space refinements so that you can set up everything correctly. If you need to change it later, it is a little more complicated.

I would rate Veeam Backup & Replication a nine out of ten.

We use Veeam to back up our virtual machines, software, and data.

We also use it to replicate data that is on the cloud, outside of the company.

It is very easy to restore files and images.

It supports migration on the fly.

If a single file is corrupt then the restoration of the entire backup will fail. This type of dependency is a problem.

I would like to see some customized backup functions that allow the end-users to make copies of files.

I have been working with Veeam Backup & Replication for six years.

Veeam is a stable solution and we haven't had any problems with it.

We have not needed to scale yet, but if required, I think that it is scalable.

We have one group who is using it. Our end-users do not run backups themselves.

This product is supported well.

The initial setup was very easy.

We are happy with the pricing and we pay for licensing on a subscription basis.

We evaluated Commvault as a backup solution but settled on Veeam.

For users who are interested in folder backup, I recommend Veeam.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We use this solution for virtualization with VMware. I have approximately 50 servers. We also use it for replication of the file server.

There haven't seen any changes to the way the organization has improved.

I would like to see the replication and a recovery plan of the servers in the cloud. It's very important.

I have been using this solution for three months.

We use one of the first versions of this product.

It's a stable product. I would rate it an eight out of ten.

It's a scalable solution.

In our company, we have one administrator and one other operator who use it. One person for each server.

Based on the orders we receive, we will continue to use this product.

Technical support is good. I would rate them an eight out of ten.

Previously, I was using IBM Spectrum.

Three months ago, I made the decision to change to Veeam Backup & Replication because IBM solutions are expensive.

IBM is very good software, but the problem is the cost. I would rate IBM a ten out of ten.

I was also using Acronis, but I wasn't sure of it. I did not have the experience with it.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's easy.

It's not complex to replicate and back up the system.

We used an integrator, reseller, and a public consultant, which was very expensive.

The experience was good but it was a bit of a process with a bit of a struggle.

This is an expensive product, so reducing the cost would be an improvement. The difference between IBM and Veeam Backup & Replication is insignificant.

It is approximately $4,000 to $5,000 for the purchase of the product and I paid an additional $2,000 for the renewal.

For large enterprise companies, I would suggest IBM, but for small companies, I would recommend Veeam Backup & Replication.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We do backups of our hyper-real environment and our branch office environment and we have servers running on the 2012 version.

Previously, we had to manage the tapes and backups locally. When we needed to restore data, we needed to ask for people in the branch offices to insert the tapes and manage everything manually. When we deployed this solution, we no longer had to contact people on-site, to make these actions happen.

The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to make use of an appliance to use as a staging disk to allow us to make fast recoveries directly from the bridge. This helps us avoid using the communication links

The cyber recovery and cyber protections need to be improved within the solution. Right now, they are quite limited. They need to be more extensive and more robust. It would be good to have machine alerts within the technician service in order to be more accurate and go more deeply into the process of validation for the backup data.

We see some limitations in the way that data is analyzed and the market update for the archive is handled.

The initial setup was not straightforward at all.

I've been using the solution for about two years at this point. It hasn't been too long.

The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with its reliability. There aren't bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

We don't see any limitations when it comes to scalability. We haven't experienced any either. The scalability is quite good. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

We have about 5,000 users on the solution.

We don't directly contact technical support. Our service provider might if there are issues. However, if there are any problems, we've noticed that they are resolved quickly, and therefore I can assume technical support is pretty good. We don't have any complaints.

We previously used HP's Data Protector. We switched solutions when we switched service providers.

The initial setup was not straightforward or easy. It was difficult and complex. We experienced some issues early on and needed to make some updates and figure out some workarounds to put it into production.

The deployment took five or six months to put everything into action. It was a long process.

I'm not sure exactly how many people are needed for maintenance.

The contract we have for this solution is affordable. It's not too expensive. That said, I don't know the exact pricing. I don't handle billing or licensing at my organization.

We evaluated other service providers, not other backup solutions. Other service providers came with HP Data Protector, NetBackup, and Commvault as solutions they offered.

I'd say that Commvault is a more comprehensive solution if I were to compare it directly to Veeam.

A few months ago, about two months, I was in a meeting and I asked my service provider which version we were using. They said that we were using the latest version. I don't know if it's still the latest version, however, if it not the latest, it's almost the latest.

We access our backup through a service provider.

We're in the process of looking for more protection services to better guard against attacks.

I'd advise those considering the solution to look carefully at the licensing. In the beginning, we experienced some troubles with the licensing models that were acquired by service provider. That caused some limitations. It was a major concern for us at first and might be a major concern for others.

In general, I would recommend the solution. I'd rate it at an eight out of ten.

We are using Veeam for SQL and file server backups.

This product helps because when something has changed that we didn't know about or didn't want to be modified, and we find out about it the following day, we can go back to exactly where we were and when it worked perfectly.

The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast. The restore can be done in a few minutes.

When you want to restore files, you first need to restore the machine, and then you have to mount it, and then restore the files. I wish it were like Symantec, where I can search for a file and it will give me the latest version, no matter where it is. It could be on tape or on disk, and it still restores the latest version.

We have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for between five and six years.

Veeam has 100% stability and I have had no problems with it.

I have not needed to rely on scalability, although it can scale relatively easily. It is only a matter of licensing. The applicability to different sizes of organizations depends on the use cases.

I haven't had any issues with technical support. I'm using a third-party for support and it is working well. In addition, Veeam checks in with me once a year to ask how things are and see if there is anything that needs to be improved.

The initial setup was very straightforward.

The price of this product is very good. In fact, this is why we acquired it in the first place. It was relatively cheap and also good.

I do not use the entire package with all of the features. However, there is nothing I need that isn't in the product. My advice for anybody who is considering Veeam is that for a small or medium-sized business, it is enough. However, for a larger organization, I would suggest Commvault.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The primary use case of this solution is to back up all of our applications and all of our data.

It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable.

We haven't had any issues so far, and the backup and restore works very well.

I would like to see the Veeam cloud solution and Microsoft Office 365 included all in one platform.

I have been working with Veeam Backup & Replication for five years.

We are working with the latest version.

We use this solution daily. It's very stable. We have not had any issues.

It's a scalable solution. We started out with a few issues, and after we purchased Office 365 it was easy to store and proceed with other backups.

This is a backup of the applications and data. We don't have any users who access it.

We contacted technical support one time only. They were able to solve the issue. 

They were good.

Previously, we used a few different solutions. Before Veeam, we were using a solution from HP, and Symantec.

We decided to go with Veeam because we had a few issues that were not able to be resolved in time.

The initial setup was simple. When you compare it with other solutions it was simple.

This solution does not require a lot of maintenance. This component of the solution is very easy. We only need one person to maintain it.

The implementation was completed within the company.

This is not an expensive solution. It's on the cheaper side.

I would recommend this product to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We use Veeam Backup and Replication for image backups.

We use Veeam Explorer for Exchange for single item restores and to restore mailboxes, which is good. With SQL Explorer, you can access SQL, and it's got some good tools that are integrated into the product. 

The Veeam physical backups for Windows is good, but I'm not sure about other operating systems. If you have a lot of central sites and remote sites, you can easily set up the replication and make it easier.

Veeam Backup and Replication is a very good product, but there's room for improvement. For example, if you have to set up multiple servers, there's a lot of work to configure and set up projects. But once it's set up, it's very easy to manage. I think you have to resize it in the data center, and then it's pretty simple. We can integrate the storage, and you can use data resizing and do a lot more.

The reporting feature can also be improved. Version 10 has come up with a better report, but version 9.4 isn't so good. I mean, it doesn't show whether we can allow customization of reports and more.

I have used Veeam Backup and Replication for one year. 

Veeam Backup and Replication is very stable. I haven't faced any problems with it so far.

Their technical support is excellent. Whenever I have contacted Veeam support, they were very good, very helpful, and supportive. Their website is a very good support site as well.

The initial setup is straightforward, and it took us about an hour to deploy.

I'm told that Veeam Backup and Replication is a cost-effective solution, and it's very competitive in terms of pricing. It's cheaper, and it's going to be up ahead of the competitors in terms of pricing by sockets. Compared to other vendors, they're much cheaper, and Veeam is almost everywhere now.

Veeam is very good. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Veeam Backup and Replication an eight.
