Veeam Data Platform Reviews

We like the alerting, reporting, and the dashboard features.

Using the reporting and dashboard features has allowed us to remain proactive with our infrastructure such as identifying datastores with high IOPS or an ESXi host with high memory utilization. Veeam ONE delivers this data in a user-friendly format that makes it easy to recognize issues before they become significant.

Veeam ONE does not easily recognize hardware issues within the infrastructure out of the box which costs some administrative overhead.

We have been using Veeam ONE for just over one year.

No issues encountered.

Stability has been perfect. Definitely no complaints in that area.

We have a fairly small infrastructure so scalability isn’t something we’ve tested.

We have not needed to contact Veeam customer service.

We have not needed to contact Veeam technical support. Any configuration issues have been solved using their knowledge base.

We used System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) prior to using Veeam ONE. We switched to Veeam ONE when the decision to use a third party solution was implemented.

Deployment was very easy and straightforward.It was mostly “Next, Next, Next, Finish” during the deployment.Connecting Veeam ONE to our vCenter and creating the SQL database on a remote host were the only details that required any focus.

We implemented Veeam ONE in-house, specifically with just one administrator; very easy to implement.

ROI is difficult to measure in a cost center since we don’t produce revenue.

Veeam ONE was procured through a promotion that coupled it with Veeam Backup and Replication. We were interested in a backup solution for our hypervisor environment however Veeam ONE quickly proved to be a solution we intend to license for the long term. As I’ve already mentioned with the ease of setup and use, costs have been minimal.

Veeam ONE is actually complimenting a different product leveraged through a third party contract. The third party is responsible for monitoring our business-critical systems, however, we prefer Veeam ONE because it recognizes issues before the third party solution does and, because no Veeam ONE agent is required, we’re comfortable using two monitoring solutions with no significant resource overhead costs.

Veeam ONE is the perfect solution for monitoring and managing your hypervisor infrastructure. However we rely on a different solution for systems that are not part of our hypervisor infrastructure such as our database servers.

• Replication
• WAN Accelerator
• Backup
• Ease of use
• File Level restoration

Restores are faster. Moving virtual machines from one location to another is easier and is far less time consuming than Tape backups. Setting up jobs replicas or backup jobs is also quick and easy.

Backup compression. It has got better but still could improve somewhat.

3+ years (I started with the Veeam Free Edition and have used the Full Product since 6.5)

The only issues i've had is with updates. The program will error and then the server needs rebooting or the patch reapplied. I have only noticed that issue with version 7.

Only stability issues are as i stated in the above question.

No issues. You can make many repositories in all different locations if needed.

4/5 as the support is very good and responsive. I have always received the correct answer the first time calling.

Same as Customer Service. Top Notch. Always very responsive and get the answer the first time. Tech's really know their product well.

Nope. I have always used Veeam for virtual machines and Backup Exec for physical boxes.

Set up is very easy. Pick your proxy server, set up the repositories and off you go.

In house with only the documents from Veeam. No problems at all.

This is a good question. Veeam is competitively priced. When compared to Tape or other virtual solutions Veeam is by far the most cost effective. I spend 75-80% less time managing backups than i used too. Troubleshooting is easier, and it has less moving parts than traditional backup solutions.

I can't remember. Veeam is licensed by processor and I would say it is much cheaper than it's competitors.

Not really Veeam is far and away the market leader for virtual environment. I have looked at vRanger and Appassure.

Don't wait. It is a very simple install and your backup and replication jobs will run better than ever.

- CBT (Change block tracking)

- Agent less

- Replication

- Dedupe

- Reducing backup storage

- Reducing backup time

Physical servers backup.

2 Years.

Yes, but solved in a few time by the support.

No issues with stability.

No issues with scalability.

10/10 - Very fast answer and follow up.

10/10.

Symantec Netbackup. We changed when we saw the promise of Veeam.

And these promises have been delivered!

Straightforward. More simple to administrate than a Netbackup or other one.

No, we implemented in house, with help of the support line.

Divide the cost of the backup by 2!

Actually, the cost is more than one hour of work per day (at maximum). I don't know the real cost of installation.

None, this is a competitive upgrade purposed by Veeam.

Simplicity!

The most valuable features of this product are "explorer for exchange" and "instant vm recovery."

One of our managers lost his mail box completely and using my product's explorer for exchange function I installed only that user's mail box without turning back to all exchange back up folder.

"Veeam Vpower Technology" is the area of this product that is open for improvement.

I have been using this solution for 3 years.

I haven't encountered any issues with deployment for 3 years.

The product has a flexible and improvable structure.

As I said before the product has a versatile conformation.

I rate the level of customer service 9 out of 10.

The level of technical support is a 10 out of 10.

I have previously used many different solutions and choose Veeam for its quick and correct solutions for my problems.

The initial setup of "Veeam Backup & Replication" is straightforward and easy.

I implemented the product myself on my own. I am the responsible system engineer supervising all back up systems and Veeam Products.

Our original setup cost for this product was a fair price and we don't have any extra costs.

Before choosing this product, I evaluated products of Symantec and Acronis.

I advise this product to all system managers who need to use back up systems.

Continuous Data Backup and Replication features that allow us to have our entire Virtual Infrastructure recoverable in minutes.

Before this product we were using something else that was entirely unreliable for our company. Backups need to be counted on. In Feb of 2014 in Columbus, Ohio there was a major Power Failure downtown that was the result of a gas explosion of the corner of our Data Center. Entire Data Center was offline for a week. (Catastrophic Event could be classified as a Disaster). With a proper configuration of this product we were able to restore the Hyper-V Infrastructure to our 2nd Data Center and restore functionality to about 20 Hospitals and Imaging centers around the state of Ohio. (Tier1 systems were restored with in 30 minutes and remaining filtered in).

• Being able to Backup from Cloud Services like Azure
• Better Logging to assist you in determining root causes of failures
• Better Traffic Throttle Monitoring

18 months.

Yes but easily resolved with the support from our Sales/Tech team provided by VEEAM.

None.

Very Good.

Very Good.

Unreliable /success-failure rates.

Very Straightforward.

In-house.

Hard to say but I would say the company wouldn't be around based on the event described above.

Initial Software costs includes 3 yrs of support = $65000 for 20 HyperV Servers.

We looked at AppAssure (DELL) and CommVault.

Do your research but by far this is one of the best products out there. Agentless is a very good thing to leverage in a Backup Software.

VM Replication, Individual item restore.

Improved virtual infrastructures backup and recovery.

Backup of Physical could be improved. Additionally, customer service needs improvement.

2 years.

Customer service needs improvement.

Good.

Initial setup for Virtual was bit complex.

In-house.

Able to backup virtual servers and setup and DR for critical applications.

File recovery could be better.

Two years.

No issues with deployment.

No problems with stability.

No issues with scalability.

I would rate the customer service as a 4/5.

I would rate technical support a 5/5.

Yes, Veeam was easier to setup and use.

Easy to setup without any complexities. Finding the area to insert your license was a bit challenging.

In-house.

Between $500-1000.

No.

Very good product for a mid-range company. Backup and recovery is made easy. DR snapshots are great and easy to restore when needed.
