I primarily use the solution for replication, backup, and disaster recovery.
It's basically BaaS, Backup as a Service in in physical and virtual environments,
and DRaaS, Disaster Recovery as a Service. It allows for backups on-premise.

The solution allows for incremental backup and incremental reverse. It's very helpful.
Overall, it's a good product. The tool is very important to our organization.
They've gone ahead and improved 90% of the tool. They have the software that we need and we've really enjoyed using them overall.
The solution is easy to install and the programming is pretty basic.
The solution can work for companies no matter the size or scope.
In the future, I would like to see the product offer a full backup, virtual machines, and point systems as well as database and application power in the Veeam Backup. There needs to be more integration with VMware and the virtual machine.
For my client, bandwidth is a problem. We do not know the sizing of the environment and it's a problem in every RPO in the time of sizing. This is a big problem.
If the solution could offer a backup for SAN as part of its functionality, that would be a major advantage in comparison to other software companies. It is made for VMware. This is a specialty tool for VMware virtual machines. It would be ideal if it could also be for Veeam and you didn't have to leverage it via VMware.
I've been using the solution for about three years at this point.
We handle all sizes of company. It doesn't matter if it is medium, large, or small - including government organizations and banks, which can be quite sizable.
I don't have too many tickets with Veeam, however, I do find it hard to communicate with them. They could be better in that sense. I do use them rarely, although I do have an open ticket right now.
I'm also using CloudConnect, as well.
The initial setup is not overly complex. It's pretty easy to install. For us, the implementation is straightforward, as it is what we do. We handle implementations for a variety of clients.
We handle the implementation ourselves for our clients. We don't need an implementor or consultant to help us.
We have looked at other solutions in the past - for example, VMware.
The difference is in licensing. Veeam is licensed via a virtual machine or a physical machine. Other companies have a different setup.
However, VMware is very easy to use in terms of functionality, and the console makes it easier to create jobs from a backup.
We are partners with Veeam.
We have the solution on-premise in our data center. I have platforms in VMware and Hyper-V.
I'd recommend the solution to other organizations. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.
We are using Veeam for SQL and file server backups.
This product helps because when something has changed that we didn't know about or didn't want to be modified, and we find out about it the following day, we can go back to exactly where we were and when it worked perfectly.
The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast. The restore can be done in a few minutes.
When you want to restore files, you first need to restore the machine, and then you have to mount it, and then restore the files. I wish it were like Symantec, where I can search for a file and it will give me the latest version, no matter where it is. It could be on tape or on disk, and it still restores the latest version.
We have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for between five and six years.
Veeam has 100% stability and I have had no problems with it.
I have not needed to rely on scalability, although it can scale relatively easily. It is only a matter of licensing. The applicability to different sizes of organizations depends on the use cases.
I haven't had any issues with technical support. I'm using a third-party for support and it is working well. In addition, Veeam checks in with me once a year to ask how things are and see if there is anything that needs to be improved.
The initial setup was very straightforward.
The price of this product is very good. In fact, this is why we acquired it in the first place. It was relatively cheap and also good.
I do not use the entire package with all of the features. However, there is nothing I need that isn't in the product. My advice for anybody who is considering Veeam is that for a small or medium-sized business, it is enough. However, for a larger organization, I would suggest Commvault.
I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
In most cases, we use Veeam Backup Replication for backup and recovery. In some literal cases, we use it for replication and statics.
I have a problem with the VM. When we started doing a backup, it takes a snapshot for our virtual machines, but when we try it two or three times, in some cases, our virtual machines go to a consolidated state. I don't know why this problem happens. But I still think Veeam is a top-ranking solution.
I don't know why this VM problem happens. Sometimes, I think it's because of our environments and performance. I have a little bit of a performance problem when VMs back up. I don't think it's optimized in our environment because of that.
It doesn't have any reporting in it. The reporting and GUI interface can be improved.
I have been using Veeam for three to four years.
We don't have support in my country because of sanctions.
The initial setup for a simple environment is very easy. We just do next, next, next, next for the installation. It can be complicated in a complicated environment. It can be simple for a simple environment. I enjoy installing it. It has a lot of features.
It's very expensive.
It's important that the IT staff had training for VMs. There are many webinars and training courses. My staff doesn't think there is much of a need for training. They just do next, next, next.
I would rate Veeam Backup Replication an eight out of ten. It's the best. It has simplified administration, simple installation, and a simple interface.
I would recommend Veeam Backup Replication. It's good for our virtualization environments.
The most valuable feature for my organization is the ability to perform replications to a DR site with minimal impact to our bandwidth and production environment. On some systems we run near constant backups and replications on a 24/7 basis.
This product has significantly reduced our backup windows as backup times have been significantly reduced, as well as the speed at which we can recover systems if needed.
There are some features that are lacking compared to other backup solutions, specifically around the use of tape libraries, and this is the largest area for improvement. As it is a fairly new feature, I do fully expect improvement in the future as they continue to refine the ability to backup servers to tape media.
We have had the entire Veeam Backup and Recovery Suite in production for 18 months. Over that time we have continued to transfer more and more jobs from a legacy system to this solution.
We only experienced minor issues with deployment mainly related to permission issue, as we strive to keep account permissions to a minimum. As far as the actual install of the application, and even upgrades, we have had no issues related to either. When we did experience issues, the support was outstanding.
We have had no issues with stability of the Veeam software since the initial deployment. Any minor issues that we have experienced did not affect the ability to perform backups, and they were resolved quickly by support.
To date, this system has been able to scale to all our needs without any noticeable issues. This has been a strength of this solution in the eyes of management since the initial purchase.
The customer service has been outstanding. We typically use a reseller for most purchases,including the Veeam Backup solution, and when needed the sales team has been available for questions or concerns.
Technical Support:The technical support has been phenomenal for this product. All issues we have experienced have been resolved in less than 72 hours. We have not experienced any critical issues, but I would anticipate that they would be resolved in far less time.
We previously used a backup solution from another vendor which was not as focused on the virtual environment. As almost all our systems are virtualized the switch to Veeam made sense as its primary focus is a virtual environment.
The initial setup was fairly straightforward. No issues should be seen if the recommendations in the documentation is followed in regards to server setup and account permissions.
This was deployed through an in-house team with assistance from Veeam support when needed.
$30,000 was the initial investment for purchase and setup, and it has minimal day to day costs.
We did a minimal evaluation of other products as Veeam has been one of the top-rated backup solutions for virtual environments. The field of vendors specializing in virtual environment backups has been limited compared to standard backup solutions which made review of possible solutions much easier as well.
When looking at purchasing this product, I would recommend that you purchase the full suite, which includes Veeam One for monitoring of the environment. The products complement each other and can help ease burdens of administering both the virtual environment and data backup.
It's used for all of our virtual environment backups. We use it in all kinds of IT, with over 3000 employees.
I like that it's easy to operate and restore.
For additional features, I'd say having integration backup through hybrid cloud.
We have been using the solution for more than five years.
It's a stable solution.
The solution is scalable.
If we need support, we call the Veeam branch office in our country.
Initial setup is straightforward.
It was deployed by the reseller.
We have a yearly license.
We were approached by Commvault and Veritas solution vendors, but for now, Veeam is good enough.
I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
Maintenance is done with the SI (System Integrator).
We use this solution for backup. Our company is a customer of Veeam and I'm the assistant manager and provide risk advisory services.
This is a user-friendly solution and I'm very comfortable with it.
I'd like to see better training offered online.
The solution is stable.
The solution is scalable.
The initial setup is straightforward and our deployment was done in-house. We have three people using the solution.
I recommend this solution and rate it nine out of 10.
We replicate data between servers on our site and we back up to external media, which we take offsite.
It really helps secure our data.
It does a pretty good job of what we ask it to. What I find most valuable is probably the virtual machine backup. I can really trust those copies.
Their licensing model could use some improvement. In the version we're using, they license per core and up to six cores, so you can't use the one for small business anymore. You have to upgrade to the enterprise carry-on, it's a bit ridiculous.
I'd like to see more flexible licensing or to be consumed as a service.
I've been using this solution for five years now.
It's very stable.
It is very scalable. Just my only issue is from a licensing perspective. If you want to add more servers, they push you up into a much more expensive licensing tier. Technically it's very scalable; financially, it's not that scalable.
The product is so good that I haven't had to call support.
In the global scheme of things, it's pretty inexpensive software as far as what we spend per year. If you factor in hardware and all sorts of other things, it's probably a good value for your money.
There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fee per year. It's pretty straightforward.
i give this solution a nine out of ten. I think it's a good product for small to medium businesses. It serves our needs. Unless your needs are very particular, it probably covers most use cases.
Veeam Backup Replication is used by my clients as a backup and recovery solution.
My customers find the backup and recovery ease of use is the most beneficial feature.
The recovery and integration features of Veeam Backup Replication could improve. For example, all VM integration could improve, such as with Hyper-V and VMware.
There is not any kind of archiving feature that is provided and in a future release, there should be an archiving feature in this platform. They would be better able to compete with the other archiving solution. In the current scenario, if the customer wants to have an archiving feature, they will have to purchase another solution because we cannot have this archiving feature with Veeam Backup Replication.
I have been using Veeam Backup Replication for approximately five years.
Veeam Backup Replication has been stable.
The scalability of Veeam Backup Replication is good.
The technical support is good and responsive.
I have used Commvault.
The initial installation is quite easy and not very cumbersome. It's easy if you have a basic understanding of the architecture of the Veeam.
The subscription-based pricing of Veeam Backup Replication is competitive.
The solution that we recommend more often depends on the use case. If there are other use cases that include bare metal recovery and archiving features then I would recommend another product, such as Commvault.
I would advise before implementing a solution such as Veeam Backup Replication that you have the training and skillset before implementation. This allows for proper implementation, best practices, and stability. It is helpful to have someone that is certified.
I rate Veeam Backup Replication an eight out of ten.
