Veeam Data Platform Reviews

My primary use case for this product is for backups and reporting.

The most valuable feature is the reporting feature. It is a very visual product.

I think that the tech support could be improved a bit.

I would rate the tech support an eight out of ten. It needs improvement.

I was not present during the initial implementation of the product.

I would suggest to others that they buy the full license when purchasing this solution.

Recovering single emails from Exchange and single items from Active Directory.

A different kind of scheduling. We would like to do backup twice a day.

I've used it for one year.

Once we had an upgrade issue, but the excellent support from Veeam solved it fast.

No issues encountered.

5/5

We used MS Data Protection Center, but MS changed the deployment model. DPM became part of a bigger solution which did not fit our needs.

We are working with two backup servers. It took a little time to figure out how to take a backup of the backup.

We did it in-house.

No other options evaluated.

• Ease of use
• Reliability

It's improved backup recovery time significantly, and makes backup testing a breeze.

I can't think of any.

I've used it for five years.

No issues with deployment.

No issues with stability.

9/10.

8/10.

Used to use vRanger. Switched to Veeam as "it just works" as their slogan suggests.

Setup is straightforward. There are excellent installation and administration guides which help with this process.

We implemented it in-house.

• vRanger
• Backup Exec

For backup of VMware environments, you cant really go wrong with Veeam.

Two features are unmatched compared to other products: SureBackup and the possibility of Replication (and Virtual LAB). These are a “must”.

The tool SureBackup allows me to check, once a month in my case, the situation of my backups: I always have the truth about my backups. Regarding the tool Replication, we use it for customers who do not have large financial resources, while allowing us to have the opportunity to restore their ambient edi production in the shortest time possible.

There is always scope for improvement (in fact with the v8 version there will be improvements in fact!), But already it is great!

For 1 year.

The deployment of this product is the most simple there is. Following step by step instructions in 10 minutes is all set.

No problem of stability. At most problems can occur with very large volumes of data (for example, VM that occupy more than 7TB data ... but in this case, do not know how many other products fail to complete this operation).

It depends on the type of license you use.

Currently, we contacted the Customer Service who promptly provided us answers KB related. Little else (and I would say that is a good thing.)

Before using VEEAM, we were using Symantec Backup Exec. Unfortunately, it gave us many problems. Especially for some customers: it signaled the completion of backups, while in fact created only empty files.

As mentioned in a previous question, is extremely simple and direct.

All the infrastructure of our customers have been fully designed and implemented by us.

Given the simplicity of installation and implementation, its initial cost is very low. Of course, having the ability to automate the verification of backups, having the ability to perform a restore also from the Help Desk group and, finally, having very few problems with backup, keeps management costs remaining low.

We also evaluated the product of StorageCraft but, I would say, is too young.

It is a product with significant potential that can be positioned transversely on many case. The same reply can be made from the same VMware but we will not have a platform to test to see if it works (in VEEAM called Virtual LAb). To get a better solution, you switch to the Site Recovery Manager, but the costs are very high and certainly is a solution for much larger companies. The product is very reliable, easy to manage, and, above all, complete.

The ease of use is the most valuable to me. I was able to save so much time in my day because the product did exactly what it said it would do. Veeam makes backup what it should be, set up back up jobs and when you need to restore something, click a couple buttons and restore. The speed of backups is also very valuable, it is amazing how fast backups and restores take place compared to other products.

There was a lot of time spent using other backup products in the past, and the best part about Veeam is its ease of use. I am able to spend my time doing other tasks instead of babysitting my backup strategy.

I never run into any stability issues with Veeam. It's almost too good to be true. I setup my jobs, run them, get the e-mail that they are finished and done. Veeam has never failed me.

I have been a Veeam customer for about 3 years.

I would rate the customer service 10 out of 10, every time that I have contacted Veeam the support has been fast and friendly even for the smallest issues.

We previously used Backup Exec, we switched because we backups were becoming a huge headaches. We always had little issues with the product, but the problems just seemed to keep adding up and jobs were failing more and more.

The initial setup was really straightforward, its a simple software install and setup that even a child could take care install and setup.

I evaluated Symantec Backup Exec 2012 and Unitrends UEB.

We use Veeam Backup Replication for our backups, for Windows, Linux backups, AIX backups. We also use it for backups for Office 365 mailboxes and files.

Veeam Backup Replication is easy to use and has high performance. The backups are very fast. It's a complete solution that fulfills our current needs.

The replication functionality only works for VMware environments. Veeam has a backup agent for AIX operating systems, and we will like to see the replication functionality available for the AIX operating system. Additionally, if the backup functionality for AIX to be included in the Veeam console would be an advantage.

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

Veeam Backup Replication has been stable.

The scalability of Veeam Backup Replication is good.

We have contacted the support and they are very good.

The implementation of Veeam Backup Replication was at a medium level of difficulty. It was not completely easy, or complex.

The full deployment took approximately four months.

I would recommend others to use this solution.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication a nine 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. 

The most valuable feature of this product is its very fast recovery.

I would like a solution for SAP systems to be included in the next release.

I've been using this solution for around ten years.

The product is stable and reliable.

This solution is easy to scale.

The initial setup was quite straightforward.

I implemented through an integrator.

This solution is very user-friendly and easily recoverable. I would rate this product as seven out of ten.
