Veeam Data Platform Reviews

I find Veeam Data Platform to be an excellent solution with numerous features. It serves as a highly effective choice for backup, replication, and disaster recovery in my opinion.

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is an excellent solution for ensuring user-side disaster recovery. It involves a platform on-premise, which can be replicated to another site. It's a very effective solution, and we prioritize both the FTO and the FTO.                

I recommended adding Azure for EBMI XPower backup and incorporating SolarWinds for end-of-month risk processes, which were not part of the initial solution.

I have been using Veeam Data Platform since 10 years.

I would rate the stability 9 out of 10.

I would rate the scalability 9 out of 10. Generally, our clients fall into the medium-sized category.

There are processes needed to enhance support. Technical support is an area that needs improvement.

I find the solution to be easily understandable and trouble-free. Deployment is straightforward, and I've had a positive experience with it. Currently, I haven't deployed with Azure or Microsoft thirteen hundred fifty-five, but I may explore that in the future for a better understanding.

I acknowledge there are concerns about pricing, specifically in gaining more customers for VM. We've encountered difficulties in convincing them due to pricing issues. So, I rate it a six.

We strongly advocate using Veeam for specific cases, particularly for backup services and Disaster Recovery as a Service. These are the two primary cases we utilize to enhance our customer solutions.

On a scale of one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I would rate this product as an eight.

We are using it as a data platform, with a specific focus on backup, recovery, and reporting requirements.

It offers a user-friendly approach and simplicity in operating, especially in comparison to other backup software options. A very notable feature is its ability to perform Instant VM Recovery, providing quick restoration of virtual machines. Its interface is designed to be intuitive and it also offers seamless integration with VMware storage, additionally enhancing its ease of use.

Enhancing the level of automation in IT processes would be beneficial.

I have been using it for four years.

It is a stable solution.

It offers good scalability capabilities. I would rate it eight out of ten.

Their technical support is good. After the request is raised through the portal, the technical support team will investigate the issue and provide assistance through either a call, email, or a Webex link for further help.

We had experience with EMC NetWorker, but we switched to Veeam Data Platform due to its cost-effective functionality and balancing capabilities.

The initial setup was seamless and fast. I would rate it nine out of ten.

The deployment process was done in one day.

It is an affordable solution.

It is a specific software in terms of its ease of implementation, as it provides a user-friendly interface and supports various forms of backup without the need for additional agents. It doesn't require any extra servers, licenses, or specialized configurations for applications such as SQL or Accelerator backups. I would rate it eight out of ten.

We have used the solution for combining cloud and on-premise storage, like a hybrid repository for storing our data and offloading. We have also created backups for Exchange and SQL. We also use the solution for endpoint protection like laptops and bare metal restore.

The product has introduced cloud storage, which can be used directly for backing up the data. We need not have an on-premise storage location. It makes everything easy. The product’s configuration and settings are very easy.

The endpoint protection console is not centralized. It needs to be improved. The product must improve its reporting features so that it can be used for audit purposes.

I have been using the solution for at least eight years.

The initial setup is straightforward. If everything is in place, deploying the solution takes one to two hours.

One or two people from our team can handle the deployment process. They have admin-level access to the server. It is easy. No other intervention is required.

I rate the tool’s pricing a seven out of ten. The product is expensive for small businesses. However, it is not that expensive.

The product is suitable for a BDM organization that does not have the option to store data on-premise. It is really easy to manage. It can also be restored very easily. If we have a good network speed, it does a quicker restore. Overall, I rate the solution an eight and a half out of ten.

The solution is quite easy to configure. The interface is quite simple and easy to manage. The restoration is easy to manage.

SureBackup is sometimes a bit difficult to use.

I have been using the solution for a few years.

The solution is quite stable. I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

I rate the product’s scalability an eight out of ten. Three people from the MIS team in our organization use the solution.

Often, when we deal with support teams, they just send us the link to the KB for troubleshooting.

Neutral

Previously, we used NetBackup. It was really confusing. Veeam’s interface is quite easy to use and configure.

The initial setup is quite easy. The time taken for deployment depends on how many servers will be backed up. Generally, the deployment might take one day. We need one person to deploy the tool.

The product must improve its pricing. Socket license for new users is also challenging. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

It is convenient to create backups of virtual machines, and hard disks. It's also applicable for backing up various other services. When dealing with a heavy workload, the process of backup is designed to be straightforward. It involves transferring data from on-premise to the cloud or vice versa. This encompasses different usage scenarios.

Veeam's Instant Recovery feature allowed my organization to continue operations during file server failure by immediately restoring lost data.

Instant Recovery is an useful feature.

It is efficient but can improve security-wise. 

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

I would rate the stability nine out of ten.

The support is good. 

Positive

It required 2-3 people to deploy. It is deployed in a hybrid manner. It took almost 2-3 hours for the process to complete.

The deployment procedure begins by accessing the Veeam Backup website to download the necessary software. Subsequently, the software is managed on the server where installation is intended. Before proceeding with installation, it's recommended to have a backup, ensuring functionality on the server. The installation process itself is distinct, not combined with the backup sector. Each step is downloadable, contributing to the installation information. The final step involves creating a backup job. Users can choose the backup type they prefer, whether it's full, implemented, or differential. Following this, the backup can be saved on desired media, such as servers.

It is not expensive and I would rate it five out of ten.

We considered other vendors but discovered that the Veeam Backup has establishment as a direct node-to-node connection and synchronization with other systems.

I can recommend that it serves as a good solution. The code constitutes a comprehensive answer. It effectively backs up all workloads. This applies to various scenarios – from email to physical and virtual machines, services, SAP DNS, and Azure DNS – allowing for comprehensive backup solutions. It extends to cloud-based backups as well. Essentially, it covers the entirety of our workload, whether on our infrastructure or network.

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

Instant recovery, ease of use, and integrations are some of the valuable features.     

I have an experience of ten years with Veeam Backup & Replication.

I would rate the stability nine out of ten.

It's highly scalable if at a proxy zone.

I would rate the scalability seven out of ten.

The technical support is quite supportive.

Positive

The setup is on-premises and takes half a day for the first part. The next part takes a few hours

The deployment process requires a few steps, to download the file and follow the standard procedure as instructed.

I would rate the initial setup nine out of ten.

The changes in pricing have been an interesting aspect. It seems to have become pricier, resulting in a reduction in affordability. There are extra expenses involved, including hardware requirements and the procurement of operating system licenses, which must also be taken into account.

I would rate the price seven out of ten.

We use the solution for the backup of the servers on-premise. We also use it to back up our mailbox.

The solution is very user-friendly. I find the compression rate to be very good. It's very easy to go through the restoration process to locate an individual file.

It would be better if the solution presented the number of servers and the success rate on the dashboard. Currently, we have to click on user history or get it through emails.

I have been using the solution for one year.

The tool is very stable.

The solution is scalable and seamless. We have about 80 users in our organization.

The support is good. When I had an issue, the team was very receptive and provided the assistance required through remote sessions. It was very, very good.

Positive

We were using Backup Exec. We then switched to Veeam ONE because it is very practical and has different applications integrated with it.

The deployment took two days.

The service providers did the implementation. The solution is easy to maintain. The number of people required for maintenance depends on the size of the business. We need one person to maintain the product in our organization.

I find the pricing to be okay. We have to pay for the license yearly. There are no additional costs associated with the product.

Veeam ONE is a very good product. The usage depends on our organization, whether we're using Linux or Windows. It's compatible with all. The product is seamless. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

We use the solution to back up all our products, like Exchange, SharePoint, Linux, Windows, Oracle, and SQL.

The solution has a user-friendly interface.

The solution's admin scheduling scripts need improvement. Also, import and export processes for information and policies could be better.

I have been using the solution for six months.

I rate the solution's stability as a nine.

I rate the solution's scalability as a nine.

The solution's customer support team is responsive and efficient. It resolves the issues promptly.

We have used IBM TSM and Symantec NetBackup before. In comparison, the solution is simple to use, integrates well with third-party solutions, and has dedicated technical experts.

I rate the solution as a nine out of ten.

It is used both as a virtual server and a physical server for enterprise backup that run different applications.

Recovery of backup data is the most valuable feature.

The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper. Also, Veeam should provide more training for the partners so that they are able to give better support to customers. In the next release, I want to see full integration with the cloud.

I have been using the solution for more than five years.

It is a stable solution. Stability depends on the implementation. If you make an error in implementation, the environment will not be stable once you get it right through an implementation; remember, it will be stable. Most of the time, the software is very stable; it's human usage and implementation. That's why it's important to do the proper gathering of information and proper assessment of the environment before you do anything.

It is a scalable solution. I rate its scalability an eight out of ten.

Some renew, and some don't renew the support. Those who know the value of it will always renew it because if there's any issue, we can always go to the backend to get the system. After all, they're the experts on it.

The initial setup is easy. I rate its setup phase an eight out of ten. The deployment does not take more than a week once you do the initial information gathering properly. Install it on a physical server, maybe Windows or Linux, then install the clients to this agent, in other sense, if there's any agent for it on the respective servers that need the agents.

The pricing depends on the number of clients. We pay 10,00 USD per year. On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten.

It is recommended that those planning to use the solution follow the best practices for implementation. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

I use the solution to backup the VMware environment and Linux servers.

The fast backup and restore feature is the most valuable.

The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved.

I have been using the solution for two years.

The tool is stable. I rate it nine out of ten.

The tool is scalable. 

The technical support team is good.

Positive

Previously, I used Data Protector, EMC network test and Commvault.Veeam is the master for handling the VMware environment. If you need a backup solution to backup your virtual environment, Veeam is the one.

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment takes one hour. One engineer can look after the deployment. After the solution is setup it hardly requires any maintenance, just time-to-time updates are required.

I have seen a Return on Investment, in terms of saving time and money.

The pricing of the solution is fair.

Veeam is a good solution and one should be committed to it.

I rate it nine out of ten.
