Snapshot-based no vCloud Director integration very incomplete knowledge base

The platform's most valuable feature is continuous data protection. It is useful for data management and maintaining availability. It helps mitigate points of failure.

The product's initial setup process could be complex for application backup and database agent installations.  

I have been working with Veeam Data Platform since 2015.

I rate the product stability a ten. 

The product is highly scalable in a cloud environment, which I would rate as nine out of ten. However, in a local environment, its scalability is constrained by the existing infrastructure.

The technical support services have always been good. 

Positive

The initial setup process's rating varies depending on specific requirements. For server backup, I rate it a ten. It can be more complex for application backup and database agents, so I rate it around seven. On average, I rate it eight or eight and a half.

It is deployed in both cloud and on-premises environments. A simple agent installation might take an hour, while a full server setup with all features could take up to a week.

I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment.

Veeam is highly effective in supporting disaster recovery. It provides detailed configuration options and generally performs better than Acronis.

The product's key features for managing data recovery include performance improvements and backup capabilities for various systems and virtual servers.

Its impact on operational costs and recovery time objectives depends on the defined policies, such as differential or full backups, and recovery time objectives. 

AI in Veeam is still developing. I have seen some documentation but still need to engage with it fully.

I recommend it to others and rate it a ten. 

We use the solution to back up our more than 100 virtual machines.

The most valuable feature of the solution is its backup feature.

Veeam Data Platform should improve its air gap backup features.

On-premises

The solution helps us understand the infrastructure more and gives insights to develop further business plans.

The solution's reporting feature could be better. They should provide more insightful reports.

The solution's customer service is good.

Positive

I rate the solution as an eight. It is good but not an essential product.

Veeam Backup Replication can be deployed on the cloud and on-premise. We choose the best option based on many factors, such as the environment complexity and maturity of the customer.

We use Veeam Backup Replication as a backup and recovery solution.

Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use and the interface is very configurable for the users. It's a very familiar solution in Algeria. 

The documentation and communication could be better in Veeam Backup Replication.

I have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for approximately 15 years.

We have approximately 50 customers using this solution.

The technical support from Veeam is very good.

Most of my customers previously used Veritas backup solutions.

The solution is very easy to implement.

We discovered Veeam Backup Replication with our presales people in our company. We did a POC at our office which is mandatory by our technical director when we discover a new solution. We go to the customer and discuss with them the difference and benefit of Veritas Backup Exec and Veeam and which can best suit their environment. Additionally, we show them the difference between using Veritas Backup Exec and the Veeam Backup Replication.

Veeam needs to work on their marketing for their solutions.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for backup replication - mostly for Office 365 Backup and sometimes as a cloud backup.

It is a global major solution for quite a lot of people. That makes it easy to find somebody who knows how to work with Veeam Backup.

The scalability is good.

The solution needs to have the capacity to address more legacy workloads. For example, things like integration with tapes.

The initial setup can get complex. 

We've been working with the solution for a while. 

The solution can scale. It's a solution that is enabled me to 500 VMs.

The initial setup can be complex. 

Some environments can become really complex and big environments are often difficult.

For a small environment, deployment can be four days, including what must be done to achieve a real project. For a big environment, it depends, but it can be much longer.

We were evaluating Spectrum Protect Plus, but we are not really using it and we are not selling it.

I'm a reseller.

We are always working with the latest upgrade.

I'd advise users to feel free to do a proof of concept to verify that it covers every use case that they need at least.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

Our clients that use this solution are companies that requires basic to advanced backup solutions, including their own hardware. 

The backup and replication features of this solution are most valuable.

I would prefer it if the backup console did not require use of a specified program, but rather that it could be opened from any website.

We have been a partner of Veeam for five years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

We don't use the Veeam support service regularly.

The initial setup is straightforward. 

This solution is very user-friendly. The first time you use it, you can download the trial, so you don't need to pay for it to test it. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
