Veeam Data Platform Reviews

I'm not doing anything with the the solution right now. I'm just using them for database purposes. We store databases there and applications.

The solution saves our organization some money as we don't need to store to a physical machine.

The solution gives me everything which is no physical machine gives, however, it is much easier to relocate to do anything with it. 

The solution offers the normal benefits of a virtual machine versus a physical, actual machine. It doesn't take up space, for example.

Sometimes, when we shut it down, it doesn't properly shut down for us.

If we need to back it up, would be even better if we could do a backup when the files are open and the applications are working. If the solution itself had that capability to backup everything consistently, across all the files, across the system just as we are using the product, then it would have huge benefits, even more than it has today. It would mean that I would not need to purchase any other party third-party products to ensure that my application or my database will work after I back it up and start it up. 

It would be ideal if they could capture everything and then timestamp and back up everything up to that timestamp. Then I would not need other products and I could just use this, which would be better.

I'm currently using the solution. I've been using it over the past 12 months at least.

The stability seems to be pretty good. I haven't had issues with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It seems to be reliable.

I'm not sure if we have plans to increase usage. I don't make that decision in the organization.

I have a systems admin who maybe has reached out to technical support in the past. I have not, personally. I find my systems admin quite knowledgeable. When I asked him something, he knows what to do right away. I'm not sure how many cases he's faced, where he did not know the answer and then had to go somewhere to get it.

Therefore, I can't really speak to any knowledge of technical support. I don't know how they are, to be honest.

I don't really handle the installation process. I can't speak to how difficult or easy the implementation process is.

Overall, I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

We use this product for backing up on-premises virtual servers. We have virtual servers at our two sites that we back up, and we also replicate them between each other.

Compared to other products, Veeam has a lot of features for the price.

I would like to see better features for exporting to cloud-based repositories.

Having reduced pricing for smaller businesses would be helpful.

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

This product is very stable.

There are two of us, myself and my colleague, who use this solution in our company.

I have been in contact with technical support and they are very good.

I find the installation fairly easy, although I've been working with it for quite a while.

This product is not cheap, but it's well worth the cost.

I am looking forward to a new feature that is coming out in version 11 that allows you to lock your backups in a Linux backup repository. This will stop ransomware from destroying your backups.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Our primary use case is for the backup of our virtual machines.

The most valuable feature is the continuous backup.

At this point, my only complaint is about the licensing costs. We have not experienced any technical problems.

In the future, I would like to see better support for direct backup to tape.

We have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for two weeks.

This is a stable product and we haven't had any problems.

Our installation is not very large, so scaling is no issue.

We have seven users who are operators.

We have not needed to contact support.

The initial setup was straightforward and the deployment was quite quick.

We did the implementation ourselves.

Our licensing fees are paid yearly and the cost is about $12,000 Swiss Francs ($17,400 USD).

We did evaluate other options before adopting Veeam.

This is absolutely a product that I recommend.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We use Veeam for the backup and recovery of our production environment.

The most valuable feature is the ability to restore the VMs into a test environment.

Some of the best practice documentation could be improved.

The stability is perfect and we have not had any problems with it.

With respect to how much we use this solution, we don't expect to increase it. Rather, we're just going to keep our usage the same that we have.

Their support is pretty good and I haven't had any issues with it.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

We had an integrator do most of the implementation.

I am the only one in the organization who uses the software.

Overall, we are happy with this software and have not found any limitations to it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use Veeam Backup and Replication for image backups.

We use Veeam Explorer for Exchange for single item restores and to restore mailboxes, which is good. With SQL Explorer, you can access SQL, and it's got some good tools that are integrated into the product. 

The Veeam physical backups for Windows is good, but I'm not sure about other operating systems. If you have a lot of central sites and remote sites, you can easily set up the replication and make it easier.

Veeam Backup and Replication is a very good product, but there's room for improvement. For example, if you have to set up multiple servers, there's a lot of work to configure and set up projects. But once it's set up, it's very easy to manage. I think you have to resize it in the data center, and then it's pretty simple. We can integrate the storage, and you can use data resizing and do a lot more.

The reporting feature can also be improved. Version 10 has come up with a better report, but version 9.4 isn't so good. I mean, it doesn't show whether we can allow customization of reports and more.

I have used Veeam Backup and Replication for one year. 

Veeam Backup and Replication is very stable. I haven't faced any problems with it so far.

Their technical support is excellent. Whenever I have contacted Veeam support, they were very good, very helpful, and supportive. Their website is a very good support site as well.

The initial setup is straightforward, and it took us about an hour to deploy.

I'm told that Veeam Backup and Replication is a cost-effective solution, and it's very competitive in terms of pricing. It's cheaper, and it's going to be up ahead of the competitors in terms of pricing by sockets. Compared to other vendors, they're much cheaper, and Veeam is almost everywhere now.

Veeam is very good. 

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

We develop our own replication solutions for the IBM i platform. Our product is called Maxava. We have 500 customers using that for disaster recovery, data replication. We use Veeam in-house for our Windows replication.

I am not a direct user of this product, but my technical guys tell me that they like the product, and it is easy to use. We don't have any issues with it.

It would be nice if it could be integrated with third-party solutions like ours. It has been supporting just Windows and virtual machines.

I have been using this solution for about five years.

It is stable. I am not aware of any issues.

It is scalable. We're just using it in-house. We have maybe 20 to 23 users that we support on it.

Our guys have probably talked to support from time to time, but I haven't seen any issues raised about it or anything like that. So, I presume it's all pretty good.

It was pretty easy and straightforward.

Its pricing is really good.

I would recommend this solution. From my point of view, I haven't had any issues with it.

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

We use this solution for deploying machine backup and for recovery from a disaster recovery site. We also use it for file backup. For the database backup, we use the software embedded in the SQL Server.

Its stability and scalability were the main reasons for going for this solution. It is highly scalable, and its stability is also powerful.

It has a friendly interface, and its monitoring and performance are the best in the market.

The orchestration feature can be improved. They can improve the virtual machine orchestration to make it similar to VMware. They can also provide an option to automate the backup and recovery and schedule a backup.

I have been using this solution for three years.

It is very stable. This is the main reason why we chose Veeam for this client and not VMware.

It is very scalable. This is another reason why we chose Veeam for backup and recovery for this client. It allows us to scale to many other projects. This project is very big. It involves more than 70 virtual machines in the production environment, and it is possible to scale to more than 100 virtual machines.

We didn't face any problems with this solution. 

In the past, we also used VMware orchestration for VMware backup and recovery. Veeam is more stable and scalable, and its price is more attractive than VMware.

It was easy for our deployment engineers. The deployment took a maximum of one week. In my company, probably seven engineers are in charge of this. My company has been a large integrator in Romania, and we have expertise in many areas of IT. We have five to seven people for each subdomain in IT.

Its price is reasonable for a big company or a big client. It is not too much. It is cheaper than VMware.

We tested VMware and Veeam solutions, and we chose Veeam for this project because our client is a public institution and required a very stable solution. Veeam is more stable than VMware, and our client preferred Veeam.

I would rate Veeam Backup & Replication a nine out of ten. There are some features that they need to improve in Veeam, but it is perfect for most of the companies in Romania.

In most cases, we use Veeam Backup Replication for backup and recovery. In some literal cases, we use it for replication and statics.

I have a problem with the VM. When we started doing a backup, it takes a snapshot for our virtual machines, but when we try it two or three times, in some cases, our virtual machines go to a consolidated state. I don't know why this problem happens. But I still think Veeam is a top-ranking solution.

I don't know why this VM problem happens. Sometimes, I think it's because of our environments and performance. I have a little bit of a performance problem when VMs back up. I don't think it's optimized in our environment because of that. 

It doesn't have any reporting in it. The reporting and GUI interface can be improved. 

I have been using Veeam for three to four years. 

We don't have support in my country because of sanctions. 

The initial setup for a simple environment is very easy. We just do next, next, next, next for the installation. It can be complicated in a complicated environment. It can be simple for a simple environment. I enjoy installing it. It has a lot of features. 

It's very expensive. 

It's important that the IT staff had training for VMs. There are many webinars and training courses. My staff doesn't think there is much of a need for training. They just do next, next, next.

I would rate Veeam Backup Replication an eight out of ten. It's the best. It has simplified administration, simple installation, and a simple interface.

I would recommend Veeam Backup Replication. It's good for our virtualization environments.
