Veeam Data Platform Reviews

The ability to manage backups from any machine from one location.

We’ve taken the human out of the equation when it comes to our backups. This means backups run when they should, like they should.

None since the release of endpoint backup management.

I've been using it for over two years.

No issues encountered.

It's wonderful - 10/10.

It's wonderful - 10/10.

We previously used Symantec Backup Exec, it was cumbersome, didn’t handle our virtual machines, and kept us on tape backups.

Straightforward, with a very intuitive setup and layout.

We did it in-house.

Given this is Backup & Replication, the ROI is similar to that of an insurance plan - priceless when needed, but no monetary benefit until such time. Still worth every penny for the peace of mind.

No other options were evaluated.

Go for it, you’ll never regret it.

• 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.

The backup and replication ability.

Backups and restores are completed very fast. Also, it takes less time for backups than previously.

Active Directory, because if we could restore GPO as a single level object as well as restoring AD schema partition through backup then I think it will be great product.

I've been using it alongside Veeam Backup and Replication four years.

No issues encountered.

It is very good.

Technical support is also very good.

We are using both solutions right now.

It is straightforward to install and easy to configure and backup too.

I implemented it myself.

I think almost 80%.

It is just the license cost. and after that there is no cost except for support maintenance.

Yes we did.

It is a nice product.

I really like the reporting. You can build your own reports and schedule to send them any time. I also like the fact that alerts are resolved automatically if there is no longer an issue.

From a storage prospective we were getting alerts when the Hyper V LUNS reached the threshold and we were able to fix the space issue before something worse happened.

No more surprises about our Hyper-V environment, storage.

Better description of the problems as the alerts are missing good descriptions. Sometimes you need to spend extra time to Google the error because the information from the alerts is not clear enough.

I've used it for two years.

Deployment is very simple, the installation wizard is very easy and then it is just simply adding whatever you want to monitor.

I don't have any stability issues.

I need to give them 10/10. All the cases are resolved in the time they give.

We used PRTG but we were getting a lot of false positives.

If you are using a virtualized environment, there is nothing better than Veeam Backup and Veeam One.

If you deploy Veeam Backup and Veeam One, you will sleep much better.

Exchange and File server backup are valuable features.

Versions of backup files helped us to recover files as per users requirement.

Virtual Environment

I've used it for seven years.

No, but deployment is bit complicated.

Having issues with the hardware.

Tape base backup and data is spread across the tapes.

2/10.

2/10.

We previously used the Windows backup solution and we changed to Tivoli for automated backups and multiple copies of backup sets to comply with central bank policy to keep the backup data offsite and out of the country.

Initial set up was bit complicated. Policy definition is not easy.

We used a vendor team whose expertise was 2/10.

It's not 100%.

No. We did not do an evaluation.

Good product but not it's suitable for a virtual environment.

• ESXi & vCenter comparability
• Veeam Backup support
• Fully customization

It has made it easier to monitor our virtual environments.

I've used it for one year.

No issues encountered.

10/10.

10 but we haven't really used it.

No previous solution used.

It was moderate.

In-house implementation.

We also looked at SCOM.

If you say no to Veeam One, at least implement it in your Lab environment, it will change your mind.

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.
