Easy to use and manage
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication."
  • "The price is an issue. If one has a large number of servers, say... 100-plus, and wishes to add more, an exhausted budget may hinder this ability."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution for many environments involving various projects. 

What is most valuable?

The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication, which works fine. Its environments are good. It is easy to manage and allows one to easily migrate in different data center sites and firewalls. 

What needs improvement?

The price is an issue. If one has a large number of servers, say... 100-plus, and wishes to add more, an exhausted budget may hinder this ability. This is the only issue of note. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for one year. 

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

The solution should have a more cost-effective price. This can be an issue if one wishes to expand on a large number of servers, such as those exceeding 100, but does not have the budget to do so. 

What other advice do I have?

The solution's backup extension is easily manageable and its reporting tool is easy to manage by name and to read. 

My role is that of a customer.

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

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Good portability, good scalability, and easy to set up
Pros and Cons
  • "Its portability and being able to back up between different platforms are the most valuable features."
  • "There is always some room for improvement, especially with some of the different technologies such as DB2. Commvault has a DB2 agent, but Veeam still doesn't have it. We have to use the universal one for it."

What is most valuable?

Its portability and being able to back up between different platforms are the most valuable features.

What needs improvement?

There is always some room for improvement, especially with some of the different technologies such as DB2. Commvault has a DB2 agent, but Veeam still doesn't have it. We have to use the universal one for it.

Although this is not really something that comes too much from the Veeam side, there could be more integration with the storage for snapshots. I know that some products that we use would need it, but I think that also comes more from the storage suppliers.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for about 10 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is very good at scalability.

How are customer service and support?

Their support was very good when I needed support back in South Africa.

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

We currently are on Commvault, and we're also on Veeam, but we are busy putting forward a design to migrate from Commvault to Veeam for our company.

How was the initial setup?

Its initial setup is easy.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate it a nine out of 10.

Limited integration, but it's affordable and setup is easy
Pros and Cons
  • "Setting up Veeam is easy, and it's portable, too."
  • "Veeam's biggest limitation is the lack of integration. I can't use the tool because there is no integration between the tool and the environment."

What is our primary use case?

We just are using it for backup and replication. Only two people at my company are working with it now because it is only a backup area. All the other products in my environment are not integrated with the tool. 

What needs improvement?

Veeam's biggest limitation is the lack of integration. I can't use the tool because there is no integration between the tool and the environment. Honestly, we can't use it with the rest of the environment— the hardware and software and so on. It's a huge problem.
We are just using it for backup monitoring. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've only been using Veeam for few months now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Veeam is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Veeam is scalable.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Veeam is easy, and it's portable, too.

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

Veeam is somewhat expensive, but it's affordable. For a backup and replication program, it might be expensive.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Veeam four out of 10.

Easy to use, simple installation, and stable
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is simple to use."
  • "The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment."

What is our primary use case?

We are using Veeam ONE to monitor our environment.

What is most valuable?

The solution is simple to use.

What needs improvement?

The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for approximately eight years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is highly scalable in the virtual environment.

How are customer service and technical support?

The support team Veeam can be available 24 hours a day seven days a week depending on your license agreement. However, in Veeam ONE the support query availability is not as good as other solutions they offer.

How was the initial setup?

Veeam ONE is straightforward to implement.

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

If you have Veeam Backup and Replication with the essential license then this solution is free. If you were to purchase Veeam ONE by itself it is priced cheaper than competitors.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Veeam ONE a nine out of ten.

Stable with simplicity a key valuable feature
Pros and Cons
  • "Simple and stable."
  • "Immutability could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case of this product is for disaster recovery and ransomware protection. It's also used for testing development. 

What is most valuable?

I like this solution for its simplicity and stability. 

What needs improvement?

The solution could be improved with easier immutability.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been consulting on this solution for eight months. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is fairly straightforward. Depending on how the system is deployed, the implementation can take anywhere from one to six hours. We currently have five customers who have deployed Veeam Backup & Replication. We have two engineers who deploy this product. 

What other advice do I have?

I recommend this solution and rate it eight out of 10.

Offers great reporting with good visibility on the dashboard
Pros and Cons
  • "Provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred."
  • "The solution requires a lot of bandwidth."

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case of this solution is to take the complete backup of our Nutanix server and to dump it on our BR site. That's the feature we utilize. We are resellers of Veeam Backup & Replication. 

What is most valuable?

The solution provides two good features; backing up of the complete server in a plan, as well as copying or migrating it to another BR site. The solution provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred. If there is any kind of error you receive an alert message and everything can be configured. It does both these things without impacting performance. 

What needs improvement?

The solution requires a lot of bandwidth because our servers are heavy.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward.

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

Licensing is on an annual basis. 

What other advice do I have?

This is generally a good solution. When I take actions on it, it gives a lot of visibility and reports on the dashboard. Technically speaking it's good.

I rate this solution an eight out of 10.
