Veeam Data Platform Reviews

Veeam Backup & Replication is useful for disaster recovery. Apart from that, it happens now and again that you make a mistake somewhere, and you have to go back to a previous state of a machine. 

I work with both on-premise and a mixed environment. 

One of the most valuable features is the incremental backup. It is, of course, perfect because you have a lot of restore points, but you don't need all the space. The stability is also perfect. 

The only improvement I could think of is it could be cheaper—cheaper is always good. Sometimes the product is just finished. Cheaper is always nice for the customer, but the company needs to benefit so that they can keep maintaining the product. New Windows versions, etc., always take some work. At the moment, I wouldn't switch to another solution because of the money. 

I have been using this solution for about four years now. 

The stability is perfect. 

I've never had a problem with scalability. I've got very big environments, but the biggest problem with Backup could be that you need a lot of space and you don't have that with Veeam. 

We have contacted technical support a few times and they reacted fine. 

We switched to Veeam a long time ago because it just works better. We get more consistent backups of our backup software. The previous backups gave us problems and Veeam just doesn't—it just works. 

The initial setup is really easy. I don't remember the timeframe because it was too long ago, but with a new product, you always have to do a bit of reading. If I were to implement Veeam in a new network, I would guess I'd be done in the morning, no more than that. 

There are two or three people in our organization using this solution. As far as a technical team, you need to be aware of the systems youʻre backing up. If you're backing up SQL service or exchange service, then you need to know about your SQL server, but basic Windows knowledge and knowledge of the applications youʻre backing up are all you need to know. 

With this one, we had one side set up by an integrator and the other, I did myself. If you are going to implement it, do a bit of reading yourself or let somebody who knows what they're doing do it for you, or do it together. 

I rate Veeam Backup & Replication a nine and a half out of ten. I absolutely recommend Veeam Backup & Replication. I have been looking at a competitor lately and they seem to do the same thing as the vendors, however they were a lot cheaper, but we just couldn't get it to work. 

We use Veeam Backup Replication for our VMware 6.5 and vSphere VMware 6.5 solutions.

The most valuable features are the backup and restoration of our VMs. Additionally, they add features regularly.

I have been using Veeam Backup Replication for approximately 

The pricing of the solution could be reduced.

I sometimes attend Veeam's annual meetings when they have them. Because of COVID, I didn't attend one or two of them, but Veeam seems to be very proactive in adding features.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication a nine out of ten.

We are using Veeam Backup Replication only to replicate things from one server to another. We are in the testing phase, not in production. We are only using a small part of the solution.

The replication is the most valuable feature for us.

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

The stability of the solution is perfect.

The technical support is very good. The one or two times that we needed something from technical support, they answered quickly and right to the point.

The initial setup of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward. The process took approximately two days. The setup could be streamlined to take less time.

We did the implementation ourselves.

The license cost is per socket, per processor. We can have one license with two processors and we can cover everything inside of the test environment that we have.

We wanted the best software in the market and the best software for what we needed is Veeam Backup Replication. We did not compare other solutions, we only selected the best-reviewed solution.

This solution is perfect for replication.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication a nine out of ten.

Veeam doesn't have the reporting part quite right. Its data visualization isn't as slick as other solutions like Veritas. For example, in Veritas, you can see a calendar that shows you which days are backed up. Veeam lacks features like that.

I've only been using Veeam for a couple of months. 

I'm a new client, we only use Veeam on three servers, so I'm not sure how scalable it is, but Veeam claims it's scalable. It's usually deployed in medium-sized enterprises. 

Veeam's installation was hectic. It was tough in the beginning, and the installation process took us a lot longer than we expected. It requires several other applications and has lots of dependencies.

Veeam is in the same price range as Veritas and similar solutions in that segment. 

I rate Veeam eight out of 10. Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent. 

We work with Veeam for structure for the backups.

The product responds above our needs. We are very satisfied with it.

The initial setup was not overly complex. 

We've found the solution to be quite stable.

Technical support is helpful and responsive. 

We're looking into the feature for the backups into the cloud and so far we are happy.

For the moment we do not necessarily need an improvement in the solution. The solution responds to our needs.

The price can be a bit expensive. 

We've used the solution for 15 years or so. It's been a long time. 

We've seen an approximate rate of 95% stability. It's quite reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

From what I have experienced, technical support is good. When we open a case with Veeam, they respond quickly. We are very satisfied with the level of support we get.

The initial implementation was easy. It was not overly complex or difficult. 

The pricing is high. It's not the cheapest on the market. We'd prefer it if it was lower and more affordable. 

I'm a customer and an end-user.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten overall. We're quite happy with its capabilities. Of course, it could always cost a bit less. 

We use the solution for backing up software from the computer to the server to VMware.

I am not in the best position to discuss the solution's most valuable features, as I am not the one who is really using it. This is more a question for the high level-three technicians who are doing so. 

I know that the solution does not have any issues and that they love it. It is easy to install and very stable. We are really not inconvenienced by it. 

The tech support could be better. I rate it as a six out of ten. Though this is not frequent, when we have had need to resort to it, we found it to not be good. 

The solution is very stable.

The initial setup is straightforward. 

The solution is easy to support once it has been set up. 

I am not familiar with the licensing fees. 

I do not have any particular advice to impart to others looking to implement the solution. 

I rate Veeam Backup & Replication as a nine-point-five out of ten. 

We are running the entire infrastructure on a Veeam host.

It serves its intended purpose and it works well. It's good enough for us.

It integrates very well.

I believe it is an excellent product for us. I'm not sure what could be improved.

We have had problems with some jobs. For example, when we have a VM with a large SQL Database, sometimes we cannot adjust the time for transaction logs to back up and overlap time.

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

Veeam Backup Replication is a stable product.

I have experience with Sematech, as well as HP.

I don't have an issue with the price of Veeam Backup Replication.

Veeam is a recommended product, but I have no evidence of other products. I have not researched other similar products.

I would rate Veeam Backup & Replication an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for its basic features, such as storage, backup and restoration. 

While I have not made use of the disaster recovery option myself, I know it to be pretty good. 

We encountered a ransomware virus issue, after which we made the environment so that the Veeam server is not in a domain, but a local one, and this helped us resolve the issue. As such, Veeam should state that it's best to have the Veeam server in a non-domain environment, for the preventing of any ransomware issues, with local authentication instead.  

When in a domain, the virus can easily attack the Veeam server, something which happened to us. Even our own antivirus solution - whose name I wish to withhold - failed to detect this. Ultimately, we had to go for the Microsoft scanner, which actually helped us to rid ourselves of the virus. 

While Veeam does provide the latest patches, it states that it is even fine to have a non-domain environment. It should have that frontline statement that the Veeam server should not be part of a domain for best anti-ransomware practices. 

I have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for probably around two years.

I did not have personal dealings with tech support. One of the IT managers did. 

The good thing about Veeam is that its initial setup and usage are straightforward. 

The solution is simple and easy and there is no need to be an IT architect to deploy it. This can even be handled by an engineer.

The maintenance of the solution for pulling updates is not a big deal. It's manual. It only involves the operation of Veeam agents to the latest version. 

I feel the solution's features to be comprehensive, although I did not make use of all of them. 

I rate Veeam Backup & Replication as a seven out of ten.
