Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The fast backup and restore feature is the most valuable.""The backup and replication capabilities are quite good.""I'm satisfied with tech support, because the solution is so stable that I haven't had the need to engage any of the engineers yet.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""I like all of Veeam's features, but the most important ones are the tape backups and replication. Those are the two options available for us, and it's enough for our needs.""The most valuable feature is the internal recovery.""Good compression when storing data.""It's relatively easy to use and the ability to recover in a short period of time has been great."

More Veeam Backup & Replication Pros →

"The solution is quite easy to configure.""The most valuable addition recently introduced is the Continuous Data Protection feature.""The tool's stability is good.""Backup and restore features are valuable.""Veeam Data Platform manages and protects data across multiple cloud environments amazingly.""It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well.""When it comes to service cases, I would choose Veeam Data Platform over Commvault because restoring from Commvault can be time-consuming due to filtering tasks. Veeam Data Platform, on the other hand, offers a much simpler and faster restore process.""One of the newest features in version 12.1 is malware detection. This feature allows the software to detect malware before initiating a backup job for a server. Although I haven't had the opportunity to personally try it out due to its recent release, I came across it while working on an environment in a cluster for a customer."

Cons
"The ease of use could be improved, but I don't have a very deep amount of experience in Veeam, so it's difficult to say what could be improved.""The solution requires a lot of bandwidth.""There needs to be more integration with VMware and the virtual machine.""We're using both Backup and Replication, Veeam Cloud Connect, and Veeam Office 365. What I am missing is a good graphical user interface between these three products.""There are certain solutions, such as Rubrik and Cohesity, that are little by little, taking market share. Veeam needs to be more aggressive to keep their dominance in the space.""It could use DR features similar to Zerto.""The price can be better.""Lacks online training."

More Veeam Backup & Replication Cons →

"The product must provide better security.""Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools.""Veeam Data Platform needs to improve data backup for Oracle admin. It needs to improve its stability.""Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement.""The price could be optimized, and I am still waiting for support for physical hardware. However, it is currently easy to back up and restore environments with this software.""Apart from security improvements, enhancing compatibility with various platforms and addressing limitations related to integration and verification would be beneficial.""They could offer a hardware appliance as a comprehensive, full-stack solution.""There might be room for improvement at the plugin level, specifically concerning application plugins."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "If you have Exchange, Oracle, SQL, or a supported SAN, then I suggest getting at least an Enterprise edition. It’ll pay for itself in no time."
  • "The pricing and licensing is better than the competitors, but it could be better."
  • "Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing. The really good and useful features are in the Enterprise plus edition, and that one is really expensive."
  • "Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."
  • "The licensing is based on the number of cores you have in your ESX or Hyper-V environment."
  • "The price is a bit high. Licensing type is VMware friendly, so it is easy."
  • "I think the price is good when you choose the Essentials Suite, but when you buy a full featured version (for instance the Enterprise Plus) the price is a little bit expensive."
  • "Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions."
  • More Veeam Backup & Replication Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The product must improve its pricing."
  • "It is an affordable solution."
  • "Veeam has a ten-license package gives you two physical and two virtual servers you can use on any endpoint."
  • "The solution provides flexible licensing options."
  • "The price is affordable."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • "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."
  • "The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Veeam Backup & Replication is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are its ease of set up, the fact that it is agentless, and that it has an intuitive dashboard. 

    A Network Operations Manager at an educational organization says, "Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."

    An Inside Solutions Architect at a tech services company mentions, “I like that it's agent-less, easy to set up, and hardware-agnostic.”

    An Account Manager at a tech services company states, “The dashboard is very, very easy to understand. We do demonstrations all the time with customers just to show them. If they've lost particular files because of a server going down, we can retrieve those files for them and quickly bring those files back up.”

    Kerem C., Director of Professional Services/Senior Solution Architect/Trainer at a tech services company, explains, “It's good for backup performance management and backup window management.”

    Veeam Data Platform is a collection of products and services that work together to provide a comprehensive data protection and management solution.
