Veeam Data Platform Reviews

The usability is perhaps the most useful feature or the most salient feature within Veeam Backup and Replication. You can do things very easily. Some things that, in other tools and solutions, take time to master, can be done in minutes with Veeam Backup and Replication. It's very good to get a new environment quickly deployed and backed up. Also, I think that it is highly optimized for virtual workloads. It works pretty well for that use case, and if you have VMware implemented in your environment, perhaps there is no better solution in the market for that use case (VMware protection).

If you have your VMware virtualization, then Veeam Backup is the best option out there to back up that kind of environment. Perhaps if you have an environment that has heterogeneous requirements or heterogeneous workloads, it wouldn't be the same, but if you have VMware and it's the only requirement that you have or perhaps the most important one, then Veeam Backup is the optimal solution.

On one hand, Veeam Backup is very good at usability, but on the other hand, you have a solution that requires a lot of servers to be deployed, so you have different roles and components that you have to implement in an environment. Sometimes when you have to grow the environment, Veeam Backup requires a lot of resources to get implemented. You'll need several servers and several components deployed on a distributed environment. That is not the case with other tools and solutions that only require one server to get it right, so I think that requires some room for improvement.

Also, the capabilities to identify a problem within the tools are not great. Sometimes logging the information from the product does not give you the information needed to troubleshoot a problem, and that could be an issue for you because you have no tools to get that information. There are no error codes that you can refer to, only the descriptions, and that can make the troubleshooting process difficult. You'll end up creating a ticket with the support area just to help you to identify and interpret the logs, which you should be able to do on your own.

What I would like to see implemented in the future for Veeam Backup, would be the reporting tool that is not only on the enterprise, which is the most expensive licensing. So I'd like to have a decent reporting tool within the basic edition of the product, and not only on the most expensive one. I think that is the most important thing that is lacking feedback at this moment because it's a pretty strong solution overall.

I've been working with Veeam Backup for three years now.

The Veeam Backup environment is only limited to Windows environments because you cannot implement many of the components of different operating systems or environments. You have to resort to Windows. Windows is not the most secure system out there. Perhaps that can also be extended to the applications that you run on the system. In that sense, I think that Veeam Backup has a weakness in relying too much on Microsoft technology and not being able to deploy, for example, the Veeam Backup server on Linux or a Linux machine, and that would be flexible enough for some kind of environmental clients that require some stringent security.

Pricing is sometimes a little bit high. It's well established within the market, so it's not much different from other tools and solutions that you can find out there. The Veeam Universal License, VUL, is one of the ways that you can license the product. I believe it is now the only way that you can license the product. It really facilitates the product and makes it easy to get a good calculation of the sizing of your environment, and it is a good metric for you to license the product. It's very flexible. It allows you to move licenses between different workloads. I think that it's a strong way of licensing this product universally.

I would give Veeam Backup a seven out of ten overall.

It has great features. It is a modern data protection solution, but there are some things that are lacking. It's not well suited for very, very large environments or heterogeneous environments.

Veeam is used for backup.

Veeam is easy to use. 

We've been selling Veeam for a couple of years.

We have two users that are using this solution in my organization.

We have been satisfied with the technical support.

The solution is easy to install and configure, it takes approximately 10 minutes.

The implementation, which includes testing and showing a demonstration to the customer, takes two hours. We have a three-person team that supports the solution.

The price of Veeam Backup Replication could be reduced. The customers are looking at other products because the price is higher than some of the competition.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication a nine out of ten.

We use Veeam Backup Replication to backup our system data.

Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having more comparably with other hardware with the immutable copy feature.

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

Veeam Backup Replication is stable.

I have found Veeam Backup Replication to be scalable.

The support that we have been receiving has been perfect.

The initial setup is simple to do in Veeam Backup Replication.

The single licensing model for the customers is a benefit, it includes many features such as ransomware and other protections.

The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable.

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

We use Veeam to protect and replicate the data. We need another tool for protecting the information.

Veeam's file monitoring capabilities are strong and consistent. 

The Veeam portal should be better integrated with all the parts of the new release. But there's always a workaround to replicate the new solution. I'd like to have better integration with other solutions like SAP.

I've been working with Veeam Backup for three years. 

Veeam is highly scalable.

Veeam support is integrated across phone, chat, and email, and they have excellent discipline.

Veeam is relatively easy to deploy and you have two options. It only takes one engineer to deploy and maintain.

I rate Veeam nine out of 10. Cloud integration is a good option. They have many ways to provide integration. Some on-premise elements are part of the integration with Google. You can add part of the center to the backup to create a hybrid setup. It's not enough to have all the backup with RAMM or ERMA. The portfolio that comes with Veeam is easy, and that's also good to have — to cover all the enterprise and part of the availability suite. 

My primary use case is as a physical environment for cloud protection in different public clouds.

The most valuable feature is the internal recovery.

In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included.

I have been using this solution for about four years.

This product is very, very stable.

This product is pretty scalable and flexible.

The technical support is pretty good and is available in English and Spanish in Latin America.

The initial setup was very simple and took about an hour.

I would rate this solution as ten out of ten.

We use Veeam Backup Replication for small businesses with on average 100 virtual machines.

The most valuable features I have found to be Instant Recovery, quick restore and rollback, and asynchronous copy. It is a complete solution for our needs.

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

The stability is good.

Veeam Backup Replication is scalable. We adapt with many hardware and storage vendors, with no problems at all.

The technical support is responsive and every time I have contacted them I received a quick and definitive solution to many problems.

We to the implementation of the solution.

The licensing is the worst part of Veeam Backup Replication because for the more complex situations and it's quite difficult and complex. In particular, when mixing different requirements the licensing model is complex. For example, mixing a virtual machine backup and a file server backup in the same installation can be somewhat difficult and is expensive.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication a ten out of ten.
