A comprehensive solution for protecting virtual machines and physical servers
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for protecting virtual machines and physical servers, as well as backing up data. The data platform mainly focuses on virtualization and physical environments, including database backup.
How has it helped my organization?
Veeam recently enhanced some features related to ransomware. Within these updates, its built-in protection feature or cybersecurity features included in the Veeam data platform now provide added protection for all customers. The solution effectively safeguards data, particularly against ransomware. This benefits Veeam, although it may rely on other third-party solutions for business continuity and data protection.
What is most valuable?
The solution focused on on-premises data and covered all virtualized environments, including physical servers. This product offers scalability, flexibility, and a simple user interface.
What needs improvement?
The licensed schema needs to be simple because it is more complicated than the previous one.

The product’s stability is good.
I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution can integrate with Azure storage and other storage vendors. It is more scalable than the cloud version.
10-15 users are using this solution. We cater this solution to small to medium companies.
I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten.

I have been working with the Veritas backup solution for about 20 years. Veeam has gained a significant market share and caters to many customer needs in the backup sector.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy and takes a couple of hours to complete.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution has affordable pricing for old customers.
I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

The solution has excellent reporting but needs to invest in AI and ML features to counter ransomware
Pros and Cons
- "Veeam One is easy to use. You don't need to get very technical or specific class training. Anyone can start using it."
- "Veeam One has its ransomware monitoring, but it's based on static parameters."
What is our primary use case?
My clients use Veeam One for monitoring. Veeam One offers backups and VM monitoring.
What is most valuable?
Veeam One is easy to use. You don't need to get very technical or specific class training. Anyone can start using it.
In my customer's feedback, one thing they liked a lot was the reporting. There is a reporting tool from Veeam One. My customers use reports and can generate reports based on anything they want. They can then compile the report and use them for multiple purposes. My customers use the reports for auditing and reporting, such as quarterly reports.
What needs improvement?
Veeam One has its ransomware monitoring, but it's based on static parameters. Maybe they can put in AI or ML to get an understanding of our customer's environment, so we don't need to manually tweak the static parameters to meet the customer's environment.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have about two years of experience with Veeam One, but my company deployed it three or four years ago.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Veeam One's stability an eight out of ten. I don't hear any issues from my customers.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate Veeam One's scalability a seven out of ten. The solution has some limitations with scaling, so we need to put in some workarounds to scale it. However, the solution is still scalable.
In Malaysia, we have SMB and even enterprise customers. We have two banking customers using Veeam One.
How are customer service and support?
Veeam One has different support centers around the region because of the time zone. In Malaysia, the morning support will be in Australia. After three o'clock in Malaysia, Australia's shift ends, and if we need to continue to work on a case, we need to get the support team to transfer the case to another team, and it takes time to do the handover. That process could be faster.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Veeam One, I tried Veritas. In Veritas, if we want to monitor the virtual infrastructure, that is a separate license. Veeam One is very straightforward because it's called the virtual machine. If you have 100 virtual machines, you have to get 100 licenses. Veritas needs a capped speed license, which means I need to understand the customer's environment around the capped speed they use for the virtual machines. The license structure is complex for Veritas. And it is difficult to forecast the capped speed for the next few years of growth.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is really simple.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Veeam One's cost is cheaper. I rate its pricing a seven or an eight out of ten. The price is pretty cheap for our market. It's a really good price for the quality of the product.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Most clients don't want to use vRealize Operations since it is expensive.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Veeam One a seven out of ten. There are some improvements, but for the price point and features, I think that Veeam One is a great product.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Scalable product with a good user interface
Pros and Cons
- "It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
- "Veeam's support services need improvement."
What is our primary use case?
We use the platform to take backups of virtual machines and Office 365 mailboxes.
What is most valuable?
The product's user interface is easy for creating and restoring Windows and File Explorer backups. It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well.
What needs improvement?
Veeam's support services need improvement. Whenever we create a ticket regarding production issues with high severity, their team takes a longer time to respond. It could be better.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Veeam Data Platform since 2022.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the product's stability an eight out of ten. We encountered a few downtime issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the product's scalability a ten out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support team can resolve all technical queries. However, it could be improved in terms of response time.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy because the server can be connected to the internet during installation. It downloads all the required features and configures all functionalities automatically. It takes a lot of overhead from the admins and engineers working on the process.
The implementation process takes around two days in our infrastructure as we only have a few workloads and know all the details about the policies to be configured. It requires three engineers, including system and network engineers, to execute the process.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend Veeam Data Platform to others and rate it a nine out of ten.

A good management tool that offers a very good technical support
Pros and Cons
- "Veeam ONE is a very good management product...The technical support is very good, and I think it's one of the best. The response time is very quick."
- "Creating reports is a bit difficult, and you have to spend some time on it."

What is most valuable?
The fact that it can make very good reports on Veeam Backup is a valuable feature. It offers very flexible reporting.
What needs improvement?
Improvement is required in infrastructure control because it generates reports on the infrastructure.
It would be good. It could be extended with, for example, collecting data from storage devices because you have the environment, which includes servers and storage devices. So, it would be good to have such integrations. It should have the ability to collect data from storage devices.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Veeam ONE for a year and a half. My company is a reseller and partner of the solution.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten. Only three or four system administrators are using it.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support is very good, and I think it's one of the best. The response time is very quick.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
There are other products for virtualization, but not for Veeam. I don't know any other product that covers Veeam, VMware, and Hyper V.
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial setup process is not very complex. The setup phase is not difficult. Creating reports is a bit difficult, and you have to spend some time on it.
What about the implementation team?
The implementation was done with the help of our in-house team.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Veeam ONE is offered at a good price. Compared to its price, the functionality and features of the product are more important.

What is most valuable?
The aggregation of logs is the most valuable feature.
