Veeam Data Platform Reviews

We use the solution mainly for backup and redundancies. We keep historical VM images and replicate them to other data centers that we have.

The solution works well in two different environments, whether it is on-premises, cloud, or a combination.

If you do not use the standard software and you go with a third-party solution such as this one, it might not work the same. There is an integration issue I understand between the database standards.

Additionally, the solution can be difficult to manage if you do not have the training.

I have been using the solution for approximately three years.

The stability of the solution is good.

We have deployed this solution mostly in medium to large size businesses.

The installation is very straightforward.

When it comes to pricing for a backup solution for data centers, you do not care about the price. We just care about the service and want it to be reliable. In terms of subscription, it really makes sense. When you want to use all the functionalities it is good that Veeam did the subscription-based model, this is what gives it the most strength on the price.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication an eight out of ten.

We use Veeam Backup & Replication to backup, restore and replicate data across our storage locations.

I know it's not exactly a feature, but I accept it works and it's easy to use. With Veeam Backup & Replication, we have no problems in managing restore. Obviously, the most important thing about backup software. I used to say that every backup software can make backups, but only good ones can make a restore.

The features that we use most of Veeam Backup & Replication are SQL backup and tape backup. For us, tape backup is really important because we have to keep all our data on the site. We cannot use it for our sites in terms of policies or a cloud backup. We are using tape backup as a secondary repository. We use the tapes regularly. We also make a regular list of tests for tapes and are quite happy with how we are managing the process.

It's hard to answer because managing cloud storage in our version could be better, but now that they have improved it in the recent version, I cannot say it's a better point because I know it should be already fixed.

My point of view is not general but in particular because I can only tell you about the things that we need. For the things that we need, I mostly SQL backup, we have no issues with Veeam Backup & Replication. It's difficult to answer because I am waiting to try new features in the next version that we plan to install next month. So, I can't answer before I try these additional features that I will find in the next version.

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

For our space, we are using not only Veeam Backup & Replication but also Veeam ONE for monitoring, not only backups but for the environment. We have alerts if we have any problems with the backups. The only problem we are facing sometimes with Windows backup is that it is not large enough for periodic full backups, but this is not the problem of Veeam Backup & Replication, it is a problem of our environment. Veeam Backup & Replication end synthetic backups the following day without requiring a configuration plan and full backup.

When we had Windows problems, Veeam Backup & Replication had no problem at all. It also manages other problems with no intervention.

We used the service of the Veeam technical support once on the fifth day after installation, and it was a good experience. But that was a few years ago, so I can't tell you how their support works now. Fortunately, we didn't need to consult for the rest of the year.

We have used IBM Cloud Backup before, and one of the reasons that pushed us to change the Veeam Backup & Replication was that IBM Cloud Backup was really difficult to use. We have been using it for almost 10 years only to visualize the environment. When we started with IBM Cloud Backup, we also had physical servers. We currently don't have any physical servers. This is another reason we moved to a new generation backup solution.

Veeam Backup & Replication is absolutely straightforward. We had some issues with the initial setup, but it is normal. The initial hardware configuration of the tape library was unclear because we are using a fibre genetic library, so we needed to configure our storage as a network, to have a Windows Server point, exact point contact to the library. However, once the Windows Server manages the tape library, Veeam Backup & Replication has no problems at all. We are using Windows drivers and not native Veeam drivers to manage the library.

It's a proper price, as it isn't an issue for what Veeam Backup & Replication is giving us. Obviously, we are paying licensing for our physical VMware environment. It also depends on how the VMware environment is on the side. We have a few very big nodes. So, we need a few licenses and maybe if people had more nodes and sockets and each node was managing less information, machine supplies could be different.

We are a managed service provider and we run a cloud backup company. We provide cloud backup services for customers and our primary platform is Veeam. 

The primary reason that we use Veeam is the market share.

There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud. It wasn't designed for it but we're making it work.

We have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for 10 years.

There are bugs and other things that go wrong in almost any environment, although it's not that there's anything wrong with the product. That's just life in IT.

Scalability-wise, it is okay, although it could be better.

We use it internally, although it revolves around our clients.

Technical support is good and I would rate them a seven out of ten. The rating would improve if they were better at following up.

The initial setup is complex. Our is a very large project to run in the cloud.

We have our own Veeam certified engineers who deploy and maintain it.

We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Veeam each year, although it is not expensive for what we get.

The licensing is something that could be improved.

We have evaluated other solutions but Veeam is the best for virtualization.

My advice for anybody who is considering Veeam is that it's a good product. We do not have an environment that is user-centric, where I can make specific suggestions otherwise.

We are currently using version 10 and plan to move to version 11 within the next two months.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We use Veeam ONE to get a better view of our virtualized environment. To see what is happening there.

For me, the most important feature is alerting. I know when something goes wrong, I get an alert.

The user interface is quite extended, and sometimes it's difficult to find the right information. Once you know and are familiar with it, it's okay.

The user interface could be simplified. There is a lot of information, so maybe the dashboards could consolidate it.

I have been using Veeam ONE for two or three years.

I recently updated to the latest version.

It stays running, so I don't have to put a lot of time there. 

I updated recently and it keeps running.

Occasionally, I go to the dashboard to see that there are not many alerts showing. It's stable.

I have a rather small environment so I haven't had to use this feature. 

I assume that it is scalable, but I have never tested it.

I have not used technical support while using Veeam ONE, but for other products from Veeam I have, and I am happy with their support. They are fast, and their response is very good.

I use Office 365, Veeam Cloud Connect, and Veeam ONE in my Data Center.

The initial setup and installation were very straightforward.

It took less than an hour to deploy. 

I completed the deployment and implemented it myself.

We have a license combined with my other Veeam licenses.

For what it does, the price is acceptable.

I recommend using Veeam ONE. I see more positive things than negative ones.

I would rate Veeam ONE an eight out of ten.

We use Veeam Backup and Replication for the virtual server. 

The documentation is very good. It's also easy to install Veeam Backup and Replication. They have also introduced a Continous Data Protection (CDP) feature, which is very good.

I don't see much room for improvement except that the price could be better. 

I have been in a partnership with Veeam for about four years.

Veeam Backup and Replication is a stable product.

Veeam Backup and Replication is a scalable solution.

Technical support is good.

We use Commvault for the standalone server and VMware for different sites.

The initial setup and implementation are straightforward. 

Two of us can deploy this solution depending on the use case. Usually, one person is enough to maintain Veeam.

The license is a bit expensive.

I would recommend this product to potential users.

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

We are integrators and resellers so we install this product in our clients' environment. I'm a data center architect. 

A valuable feature is the compression when storing data. The product has a lot of functionalities even though they're not always used in my customers' environments. 

I think that the web interface could be more visual. Also, when I was initially evaluating the solution, I had trouble finding detailed information about it and I think that could be improved too. 

I've been using this solution for two years. 

The solution is stable. 

As integrators, we use our own support. The documentation is user friendly and that's enough for us.  

The initial setup is straightforward. 

The licensing is on an annual basis and I think it's a good price. 

The VMR is the solution's most valuable aspect.

There is a great catchup backup quality to the solution.

We can have multiple jobs going so long as we have the proper licensing in effect. It's quite helpful.

The initial setup is very easy.

Technical support has been very good. They're helpful.

While we used the cloud and on-premises deployment models, on the cloud we found we had some issues and we moved to everything on-premises to counteract that.

The solution needs to fix its incremental sizing. Currently, we are facing an issue with the incremental backup. For example, with a normal user laptop, it is taking a huge amount of incremental backup on a daily basis - more than two, three DBS it is taking place on a daily basis. Much improvement is needed. Though the compression rate is good, what exactly they are backing up on daily basis for such a great extent is unresolved. We want to understand why this is happening.

The stability could be better, specifically in the cloud. We had bad experiences with the cloud. We were using Azure and we found some security issues in terms of ransomware. We relied on the cloud backup, however, the data in the cloud ended up also getting corrupted due to the ransomware. Data security is a huge concern on the cloud, in our experience. 

The scalability could be more effective.

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

The stability is okay, however, it isn't as stable as we would like it to be. There could be some improvement.

We had issues with ransomware getting into the cloud backup and causing troubles for us. It's not as secure on the cloud as it needs to be.

The scalability could be better. It isn't quite where we need it just yet.

We currently have 20 people using the solution. They are backing up the server time and users.

We've been satisfied with the level of support we get from technical support. They are helpful and responsive. They've been good overall.

The initial setup is not complex. It's very easy and very straightforward. A company should have no trouble with the process of deployment.

The licensing is pretty good. If you have it set up correctly, it allows the solution to take on multiple jobs.

We have experience in both on-premises and cloud deployment models.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. While the on-premises deployment seems to be working well for us, the cloud has given us problems.

We use Veeam Backup Replication for general backup and restore functions.

I like all the backup features in Veeam.

The price can be better.

I have been using Veeam Backup Replication for five years.

Veeam Backup Replication is stable.

Veeam Backup Replication is scalable.

Technical support was good. The few times that you used them, they were pretty decent.

The initial setup is easy.

It's expensive and costs about 1000 a year.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Veeam Backup Replication a nine.
