Veeam Data Platform Reviews

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 back up our customer's processes. We use it to save and store data and to replicate it from one site to another for data replication and disaster recovery.

In total, about 30 employees use this solution. 

The replication feature has proven to be the most valuable feature for us.

The backup feature is good, but the replication as a technology at the time we chose Veeam was really effective.

Also, this solution is extremely user-friendly. They recently added a new reporting feature which has been really good. 

Overall, it's a great technology; it's a great product. But Veeam has always been dedicated to the virtual environment — mostly the Intel virtual environment. In our market, the Italian market, there are many companies that have legacy environments that need to be backed up, and sometimes Veeam is not that effective when it comes to legacy environments.

Veeam Backup & Replication is very stable and reliable. 

We installed it on-prem according to our customer's specifications. I would say it's a good product with fine scalability. I've never tried it in a very large environment, so I can't speak for large enterprises; however, I do know that some large companies use it.

The customer service is good and reliable.

The initial setup was very easy.

We resell perpetual licenses. We sell monthly licenses, too. Although the pricing could always be better, I'd say it's fair — it's not overpriced. 

Veeam Backup & Replication is a great product for a virtual environment — it's really effective.

From a technical point of view, it's very effective — I think they're doing great. Year after year, they announce many new features; they are definitely keeping up to date with the times. Many of their competitors have also released some sort of hardware as a repository together with their software. Still, I think that Veeam will stay software-only, which is fine. I think they're doing good.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Veeam Backup & Replication a rating of eight. 

We primarily used the solution for backups and replication. 

For the most part, all of the features are very good.

The initial setup was very easy.

I only ever found one error. It was when we were doing a file copy job. After using it for ten minutes, it would slow down and cause a bottleneck error. 

It would be ideal if the product can reduce the number of errors we received. 

I had been using the solution for about six months or so. It hadn't been that long. 

We do seem to get many errors, especially during file copies. 

Not too many people are using the solution. It was basically just myself and my colleague, and we were using it in order to evaluate it. It hasn't been used widely yet.

I've never used technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are, having never spoken with them directly. I wouldn't be able to evaluate their services.

Before working with this solution, I did not use any other similar products. In the past, I simply used a bit of HP products for certain tasks. 

The initial setup is not complex or too complicated. It's very easy and quite straightforward. A company shouldn't have any issues with the process. 

There is only one license that you can purchase. My colleague was handling the licensing details. I was looking at it more from a technical perspective and therefore can't speak to the pricing or licensing agreements that are possible.

We were basically evaluating Veritas and Veeam. We've just been evaluating both of them.

I used the solution at my previous company. Currently, our organization is considering Veeam and Veritas and we are evaluating both to see which would be best for our company.

I would advise other users to not do file copy jobs from Veeam. It's best to just use it for replication purposes.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten overall. 

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.

I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups. That is a functionality that Veeam does not provide. 

Otherwise, I don't see any additional improvements in Veeam because they are very good. It integrates very well with Microsoft applications. Veeam is very user friendly and you don't need to have certifications to work on it.

I have been working with Veeam Backup and Replication for the past four years.

I think that the scalability is very good. We can't compare it. The only problem that users may face with Veeam, is if people do not size it correctly, which can cause performance issues.

Cloud backup on AWS Azure is also fantastic. It backs up applications, such as Oracle SAP, as well.

The technical support is very good. They provide solutions immediately and they tell the customer exactly what is wrong.

If you tell Veeam that you're competing with, for example, NetBackup or Backup Exec, or Dell or Micro Focus then they may lower the price. They are very competitive.

The price of Micro Focus will beat Veeam, but then you're missing one or two functionalities which is good to have for disaster recovery.

I would rate Veeam Backup a 10 out of 10.

VMware backup, but considering to implement Veeam's replication feature to use as part of our DR solution.

Reliable and easy-to-use backup and restore. Version 9.5 has been the most reliable with little to few failed backups.  

Replication feature is very useful to instantly recover a VM. Not only can Veeam be used for backups, but also for DR usage as well.

Version 9.5 has been proven to be reliable, and U3a VMware 6.7 works without issues. Maybe synchronous replication.

The ease of use and reliability of this solution are real assets. Also, it has an ease of use to work with a third party vendor.

The virtual sandboxes seem complex to setup so I have not invested time in leveraging this feature. It would be nice if this feature was more user-friendly.

This product has been very stable. Any issues that have come up are quickly resolved. 

I have not experienced issues with scalability. I have deployed Veeam in two different environments for different employers of mine and both have been very solid. I am currently using ExaGrid as my backend storage and it has worked very well with Veeam.

I would give the tech support team a rating of nine out of ten.

The initial setup was very straightforward. I actually had a POC backing up our entire data center to an old SAN setup within a day.

Veeam is the gold standard for backup and recovery. If you have a primary virtualized environment, it is a great choice. Veeam's agent for physical servers works well on our few remaining physical servers.

Transforming from the physical system to virtualization -- vSphere or Hyper-V, KVM and then monitoring reporting infrastructure.

The most important problem in the data center system is to monitor and calculate real-time, to be able to accurately forecast or monitor for troubleshooting (not all software can do it).

• Optimal calculations for storage systems for operation and backup on DCV, HCI
• Stability and VM loading of the data center.

We have problems with IOPS calculations real-time, uncontrollable IOPS of storage leads to storage infrastructure errors.

The additional features are: 

• Running control of both network and IOPS on physical infrastructure 
• Predicting compatibility requirements to transfer resources from physical to virtual to meet backup RPO and RTO within 15 minutes
• Especially adding application objects to backup VM cluster (Oracle RAC, SQL cluster, AD delegation, Exchange DAG, MySQL Cluster).
