Veeam Data Platform Reviews

We use it for backup and replication in small environments.

It has not improved anything. It is just a backup solution. Our customers needed something for disaster recovery in case something bad happens. It is something they needed, and it is something they have got.

The backup and replication features are most valuable.

I would like them to move back to host licensing.

Everything should improve over time as new functionalities come along. The product needs to follow new technologies and integrate them.

We have been using this solution for about 10 years.

It is stable. It is almost fire-and-forget.

We don't have experience with large environments. We only have small environments with a host of virtual machines. It is scalable for our use. There is no problem.

Its users are system administrators. Any increase in its usage would depend on the pricing. Veeam has changed its licensing policy. With their universal licensing, things have become a bit expensive. It is a free market, so we'll see.

It should be good, but we have not used it.

We also use other products. This is not the only one. We use Micro Focus Data Protector, Arcserve UDP, and Microsoft Data Protection Manager.

Microsoft Data Protection Manager is more windows-oriented. It is not as good as Veeam for sure, but it is good enough for certain environments.

It was quite straightforward. We are using it in relatively small environments. These are not big installations. 

It took a few hours. The deployment is quick, but you have to test everything and make sure everything works. 

We are an integrator. For its deployment and maintenance, one system administrator is enough.

We try to use perpetual licensing, and there are no additional costs. 

They have recently moved to universal licensing, which is more expensive, and I would like them to go back to host licensing.

I would advise others to decide for themselves if it checks all the boxes. 

I would rate it an eight out of 10 because it is now more expensive with universal licensing.

The most important feature for me is the security - you can trust that Veeam is working without having to test or check it.

An area for improvement would be the product's high use of resources and memory.

I like Veeam a lot because it solves problems, is stable, and runs very well.

The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully.

Our customers use Veeam for its good price, quality, and performance. I would give this product a score of eight out of ten.

We use Veeam to protect and replicate the data. We need another tool for protecting the information.

Veeam's file monitoring capabilities are strong and consistent. 

The Veeam portal should be better integrated with all the parts of the new release. But there's always a workaround to replicate the new solution. I'd like to have better integration with other solutions like SAP.

I've been working with Veeam Backup for three years. 

Veeam is highly scalable.

Veeam support is integrated across phone, chat, and email, and they have excellent discipline.

Veeam is relatively easy to deploy and you have two options. It only takes one engineer to deploy and maintain.

I rate Veeam nine out of 10. Cloud integration is a good option. They have many ways to provide integration. Some on-premise elements are part of the integration with Google. You can add part of the center to the backup to create a hybrid setup. It's not enough to have all the backup with RAMM or ERMA. The portfolio that comes with Veeam is easy, and that's also good to have — to cover all the enterprise and part of the availability suite. 

My primary use case is as a backup for VMware Hypervisor and SAP HANA.

Veeam communicates with the vCenter in VMware, which means it's very smooth and doesn't interrupt production on VMware and you can backup or restore anytime, anywhere.

The most valuable feature is the virtualization backup - Veeam is the best for this.

The deduplication feature could be improved by changing to global deduplication. I am also concerned about the master server landing on Microsoft Windows only, which means that if there is a ransom attack on the Veeam server, all the backup features will go down, and the data will be lost.

I've been using this solution for over seven years.

This solution is very stable, including its support for Hyper-V and Nutanix.

This solution is scalable - you can backup to several locations without additional cost.

I previously used IBM TSM, but the IT environment in Thailand changed from Linux to Intel, which TSM did not support, so I switched to Veeam.

The initial setup is very easy, it takes about one to two hours and requires only one person.

The license can be expensive if you have a lot of VMs, as that's what the cost is calculated from, but it's also flexible in terms of what kind of backup you can use.

Veeam is really easy to deploy and easy to use. I would rate this solution nine out of ten.

We are using Veeam for regular backups and disaster management.

The backup and restore features are the most valuable.

The user interface needs to be improved. It could be simpler to use.

I have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for approximately four years.

This is a stable product.

Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution. We have approximately 300 end-users and we don't plan on increasing this by very much.

I have not been in contact with technical support.

Prior to Veeam, I was using the regular Windows Backup utility.

The initial setup is straightforward and it takes roughly an hour to deploy.

Our in-house team was responsible for the implementation.

We have four people in our IT team. They are all administrators.

In summary, this is a good product and I recommend it for those who are interested in using it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We are a system integrator and we implement backup software solutions for our customers. Veeam is one of the products that we provide.

The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V.

The interface is user-friendly. It's easy to deploy and easy to manage.

I would like to see more broad support for other applications such as databases, or other operating systems. Veeam is currently developing some of these features but they are not as mature as those found on backup products for physical servers. Essentially, integration with products from other vendors should be improved.

This product should be integrated with Kasten for Kubernetes backup. It would be helpful for backing up a container environment.

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

Stability has always been good with this solution.

Most of our customers do not have a large virtual environment. Veeam is capable of quickly scaling up or scaling out to meet the requirements of our customers. 

The technical support from Veeam is quite helpful. They have a capable team.

We also use Commvault, Veritas, and IBM Spectrum Protect.

The IBM console is definitely more complex in terms of implementation and monitoring. The user interface for Veeam is better.

The support available is similar from all of the vendors. Most of the backup software and principles are quite similar and we can handle problems with the help of support.

There were no complications with the initial setup.

Several licensing schemes are available.

My advice for anybody who is implementing Veeam is to learn about the various licensing schemes. There are several available to choose from.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We are a solution provider company and have several support contracts with our customers. We try to select the best solution for each of them. In a small environment, we prefer using Veeam Backup. It's useful in many small businesses where they use virtualization.

We use Veeam because it's easy to use. The interface is very simple.

Integration with the other equipment could be improved. For example, Tape Autoloader integrating with other storage products that are customized for backup solutions, or EMC Data Domain integrating with NetApp storage. Backup solutions today have a critical role in many data centers. We face a lot of malware attacks and ransomware. I think backup solutions are critical and this backup solution should be flexible. 

It would be great to work with other solutions and new technologies like Kubernetes, or Docker integrating with private cloud solutions such as Azure, Google, or OpenStack. Veeam is not as efficient as Veritas NetBackup. 

We've been using Veeam for more than six or seven years.

It's a stable solution.

If you have a simple environment, Veeam is useful, but when it comes to scalability and you have a more complex environment, it isn't a good solution for advanced customers that want business continuity or have more complex data centers. For example, if you have three data centers and you're looking for replication between them, or you want to replicate your backup, Veeam isn't the most useful.

This solution can be set up without any external support and it can be done in many environments. In general, we didn't have any problems with installation.

Pricing for Veeam is very reasonable compared to Veritas or other products in my care. It suits many customers.

Between Veeam and Veritas Backup, Veritas is a unique product in several aspects. When you want to transfer your data over SAN, backup is needed and the solution in some environments is very important because window time is limited for them. When it's a huge amount of data that takes five or six hours a day to transfer, we have to use the SAN backup feature. In this area, Veeam isn't as good as Veritas NetBackup. 

When you want to use this feature with Veeam, you have to share a lot of storage and many customers refuse this way of using the SAN backup feature. You can miss it easily. Many customers prefer compromising their source of data than using a SAN backup. For this reason, like IBM TSM, Veritas is one of the best.

I would rate this solution a six out of ten. 

We are using Veeam Backup Replication for server and virtual backups.

The integration of Veeam Backup Replication is very good.

The parallel backup process from the Veeam server to Veeam has some limitations. The number of parallel backups should be increased and the compressional is very low. Sometimes it is half or one-third, but other backup solutions' compression levels are very high.

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

I have found Veeam Backup Replication to be stable.

The solution is scalable. However, with other systems, such as physical Linux servers, the integration with different applications is not very good and there can be some issues. Sometimes they are not fully integrated with the application.

 In my case, there is no technical support needed.

The Veeam Backup Replication initial setup was very easy.

I did the deployment myself.

We use the community edition of the Veeam Backup Replication and it is a software-based license. It can be a little expensive.

We did not evaluate other options.

I would recommend this solution.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication a seven out of ten.
