Veeam Data Platform Reviews

I use my company mostly to monitor Veeam O365's licensing and backup. In our company, we don't use it for infrastructure monitoring.

The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it works well for our company. The main feature we use of Veeam ONE in our company is Veeam O365.

I have no visibility on what needs to be improved in the solution.

For our company's usage, the price of the product is considered to be one of the major drawbacks because we have a lot of infrastructure, and its services don't fit well with our needs. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the solution. The price of the product should be reduced.

I have been using Veeam ONE for six months to a year for two of our infrastructures.

Since I haven't received any feedback from my team related to the stability of the product in our company, I rate the product's stability a ten out of ten.

I don't have any visibility over the scalability options offered by the product.

Only two or three people in my organization work with the solution.

The product's initial setup phase was straightforward.

I wasn't involved in the initial setup phase of the product.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The solution can be deployed in less than half a day.

Though I am not sure about how many people are required to take care of the deployment and maintenance of the product, I am sure that the two or three people who use the solution handle it.

With the use of Veeam ONE, our company was able to identify technical problems in our Veeam infrastructure, and we were also able to do some optimization work with its help.

My company needs to pay towards the licensing cause attached to the solution on a monthly basis as my company operates as a service provider. The product is expensive.

My company did not evaluate other options against Veeam ONE.

The product fits well according to the needs of our company.

Veeam ONE is a simple product that is easy to use, and it provides good visibility of the environments in which it functions.

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

The solution is used for backup and restore. It can also be used for VM replication.

I like almost everything about the product. Backup and restore features are valuable. They develop everything. If a competitor invents a new feature, the vendor also implements it.

The product must provide better security. It must provide an integration with a tool that has ransomware protection.

I have been using the solution for about ten years.

The tool is rock solid. It is very, very stable.

There are huge systems for which Veeam is not big enough, but we can partition the big environment and install several Veeam instances. The tool scales very well. We face no issues. The product is suitable for the smallest to the biggest enterprises. There is a free community edition that is limited to ten virtual machines. If we buy a license, we can scale up to 1000 instances.

The support is one of the best I have seen. The team has a quick response time and provides quality feedback. The team is proactive. I am really happy with the product.

I have worked with IBM and Data Protector. Veeam is better because it focuses on a single product.

The initial setup is simple. With just a couple of clicks, we can install the product. However, it depends on how complex the environment is. Compared to other products, it is quite straightforward. We mostly deploy the solution on-premises. However, we can get opportunities to implement the cloud version as a service provider or back up an organization’s cloud infrastructure.

The price is not low, but we get value for our money. We don't want a cheap product. We want a good product. The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides.

I recommend the solution to others. There is some room for improvement. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

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.

Neutral

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.

The solution is used for backup and replication of data. We can create a backup copy of off-site data.

The backup feature is valuable. It uses snapshot-based replications. Continuous Data Protection is a game-changing technology. Including Veeam, there are only three software vendors that provide this technology.

The product must improve its performance. Sometimes, the backup is very slow. It might be because of the backup infrastructure or the network infrastructure. Sometimes, it is because of Veeam’s abilities.

I have been using the solution for more than ten years. I have been using the latest version for two years.

The tool’s stability depends on the people who maintain the platform. If they do not manage it well, the stability will be lower. The more we manage, the more stability we get. If we take care of our platform daily, there won't be any problems. If we don't look at it for a week, we will have some problems.

Veeam has some performance issues after we reach a couple of 1,000 virtual servers. We have more than ten customers using the product.

The technical support is very good.

The initial setup is not straightforward. It depends on the customer’s infrastructure, architecture, CDP, and storage. We must be very careful about which tools should be used for the implementation. Infrastructure assessment should be done very carefully. A person must be a good Veeam engineer to decide which tools and add-ons should be in place to deploy the solution.

The customer infrastructure assessment should be done. We must find how many virtual servers will be backed up, how many client machines will be backed up, and how many physical servers will be backed up. If a replication solution is in place, we should ask for a wider bandwidth for the customer.

If the customer will be using CDP technology, then we have to do some additional installations on the customer's physical servers. We must understand how many proxies, backup repositories, and immutable repositories we will use.

The solution provides flexible licensing options. We can have it perpetually. We can have it yearly or once in three years. We can also get the Veeam Universal License.

Veeam is the only IT vendor that provides many features in one bundle. I recommend the tool to others. Overall, I rate the solution a seven 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.
