Veeam Data Platform Reviews

For data recovery, we do some tests. We haven't had any problems yet. The tests we've done work fine.

For me, it's perfect. We don't have any problems with backups and applications.

Immutability is the most important aspect of data protection in terms of Veeam Data Platform. That could be one critical factor for us.

Data protection is the most valuable aspect.

We had one problem once with the multinet in the network, but it wasn't a big problem. It was a problem with the network itself. That is the only problem we have had.

I have been using it for two years. We use the current application tool, the new one, that's the tool server that I use.

I personally haven't requested any support, but my coworker has and says it's good.

Positive

I have also been using Veeam ONE for about two years to monitor traffic and jobs. So, mainly as a monitoring tool.

We use it to monitor everything. We don't have any other tool like it. We used to use vRealize Operations Manager, but we don't have that anymore. That's why we use Veeam ONE. It's easy to view all the infrastructure.

The infrastructure we have is simple.

So, the initial setup is very easy as our environment isn't complicated.

We finished the deployment in about three weeks. We didn't deploy the solution solely for the strategy part. It took us three weeks because it wasn't a priority for us when we deployed the solution. So, the deployment time could have been less.

We didn't have any problems with integration into our existing ecosystem.

In my opinion, maintenance is very simple. We don't have any problems with updates.

It is not expensive. 

I would give it a ten out of ten because I haven't had any problems with maintenance. It's very simple and our environment is also very simple.

So for simple use, it's a very good tool and fulfills all our needs.

I highly recommend it.

We use the solution to store the backups in other devices and local servers.

The solution's instant recovery feature is good and allows you to capture and copy individual files. Veeam Data Platform is easy to use.

We do not use all the options the solution provides, and it could be made simpler. Since the solution has many options, it is not easier to give tasks to schedule it.

I have been using Veeam Data Platform for less than one year.

The solution’s initial setup is not difficult.

The solution can be deployed within one day.

I would recommend the solution to other users.

Overall, I rate Veeam Data Platform an eight out of ten.

Most of the features and capabilities we implemented for our clients using the Veeam backup solution revolve around enhancing their backup processes. These include functionalities such as backup encryption, immutable storage, integration with various object cloud storage platforms like AWS Cloud, and ensuring compatibility with multiple object cloud platforms.

The backup and disaster recovery process within the Data Platform is exceptionally user-friendly. Whether you're performing a backup or restoring data, the graphical user interface makes it straightforward. All capabilities can be accessed with ease, thanks to the intuitive design of the interface.

The reliability of the Veeam Data Platform has been consistently satisfactory in our deployments. We have encountered no issues, and all of our clients have expressed satisfaction with its performance.

We are particularly pleased with the DIP, especially given our focus on the Nutanix platform. DIP with Nutanix virtualization has been especially valuable to us.

The inclusion of important functions and capabilities, such as ransomware protection and scanning, was crucial. It's noteworthy that these features are already available in version twelve, which is a significant enhancement.

When utilizing Veeam to manage RTO and RPO objectives, the primary focus lies in minimizing recovery time (RTO) and ensuring effective project or object management. Branches, especially those with high IO and ITO demands, such as those in SANX deployments, prioritize data visibility before backup and archiving. Typically, lower RPOs are managed by the recovery features of the virtualization layer. Our primary aim is usually to achieve the shortest RPO feasible within the specified parameters. However, in our deployments, the shortest configured RPO is based on the specific requirements of our clients.

Managing multiple cloud environments with the Veeam Data Platform is highly effective. The platform offers robust support for major cloud providers like AWS. I've personally tested its integration with AWS and iOS and found it to be extremely straightforward and user-friendly.

Veeam Data Platform offers features specifically designed for ransomware defense. This includes the ability to integrate with immutable repositories, safeguarding your data against ransomware attacks. Additionally, the platform provides integrated anti-malware detection capabilities, and it allows seamless integration with third-party endpoint security solutions to further enhance data security.

I think there's an opportunity for improvement in terms of the supported operating systems for the Veeam Data Platform. Currently, it's limited to the Windows operating system, excluding Linux environments. Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement. 

I have been working with it for approximately six years.

I would rate its stability abilities eight out of ten.

Its scalability capabilities are eight out of ten. The maximum supported capacity of the current version of Windows determines the capacity limitations for the Veeam Data Platform, as it is dependent on the operating system. This serves as a constraint for the platform. It is suitable for businesses of varying sizes, including small, medium, and enterprise-level organizations.

I would rate its customer service and support nine out of ten.

Positive

Setting up the system initially is straightforward.

It's quite flexible—you can begin with a single license that supports ten instances and scale up based on your specific requirements. I would rate the pricing six out of ten when compared to other competitors.

Overall, I would rate it eight 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.

Our customers were seeking an affordable monitoring solution. We noticed that traditional options like VMware's Operations Manager are quite expensive, so we found a more budget-friendly alternative. Veeam ONE has proven to be a reliable tool not just for backups but also for general hypervisor management. 

The most valuable feature is the capacity planning aspect of the solution.

There are not enough charts and diagrams available. Other solutions, such as VMware's vRealize, offer a more extensive range of charts and diagrams for monitoring the environment. Enhancing the user experience, particularly in terms of providing more comprehensive chart and diagram options, would be beneficial.

I have been working with it for more than ten years.

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

I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach.  When we face a certain issue, they simply provide a website link and expect us to resolve the problem on our own. If the issue persists, we need to revert to them for further assistance. This process can be time-consuming when dealing with problems. This differs significantly from our experiences with other vendors, like Nutanix. For instance, when we open a support case with Nutanix, they not only provide a dedicated web portal but also offer direct assistance tailored to our company's specific situation. This approach is notably more effective. I would rate it five out of ten.

Neutral

I learned about Veeam ONE before exploring other solutions, and I have found it to be a highly cost-effective option when compared to alternative solutions.

The initial setup was straightforward. I would rate it nine out of ten.

The deployment process took approximately one week because, following the initial setup, we held several technical meetings to fine-tune the configuration to align with the specific requirements of the customer's use case.

It's an extremely cost-effective solution. I would rate it three out of ten.

It is an excellent solution, incredibly user-friendly and manageable. I would highly recommend it based on its robust features and ease of use. The main issue lies in the quality of customer support. I would rate it seven 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.

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.

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.
