Q&A Highlights
Question: Any users have experience with Veeam Backup Solutions?
Answer: Veeam is a good solution IF you have a Complete Virtual environment....they lack support on physical machines and most environments that have both physical & VM's to manage. The user should also make sure that their BU or replication solution has deduplication for efficiency and Veeam's solution is weak in this area... Regards, Tom

Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It helps with process restoration. With Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues.""The features I find most valuable are probably the VMware snapshot backups and the Veeam replication. Their replication is very good. It can easily be used for disaster recovery in a number of situations.""It serves its intended purpose and it works well.""It's not complex to replicate and back up the system.""It is cost-effective. A lot of times, people pick Veeam because of its price.""The most valuable feature is the ability to verify that backups are valid.""For virtualization it's perfect.""Veeam communicates with the vCenter in VMware, which means it's very smooth and doesn't interrupt production on VMware and you can backup or restore anytime, anywhere."

More Veeam Backup & Replication Pros →

"I think Veeam ONE is a good product to supervise and monitor infrastructure and for backup purposes.""As a manager, I find Veeam One's reporting service to be very helpful.""One valuable feature of Veeam ONE for backup management is its dashboard, which offers a comprehensive view of backups and other essential data.""The solution's customer service is good.""The product is very straightforward and very easy to use from the client-side.""Veeam ONE is the best and the most mature solution for hypervisors and physical machines.""Setting up Veeam is easy, and it's portable, too.""Veeam ONE has proven to be a reliable tool not just for backups but also for general hypervisor management."

More Veeam ONE Pros →

Cons
"The data duplication should be improved.""I have issues with the licensing.""I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups or snapshots. That's a nice functionality that Veeam doesn't have.""The initial setup was not straightforward at all.""I would like to see better features for exporting to cloud-based repositories.""The licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better.""The initial setup is complex.""The tech support could be better."

More Veeam Backup & Replication Cons →

"I face difficulties when trying to deploy Veeam ONE because my active directory restricts some particular rights.""The threshold could be easier to configure.""Not highly customizable.""Perhaps the interface could be improved, though it has always been fine for me.""It would be great if Veeam ONE had a business hour reporting feature because sometimes a client would want to know what workers do during business hours and outside of business hours. This type of report will give you the added benefit when you're scaling up and scaling down in the cloud, for example, if I wanted to swap hot and cold storage during specific hours to save on cost. Business hour reporting in Veeam ONE will give you a lot of benefits and added value. Scalability needs to be improved in the solution.""Veeam's biggest limitation is the lack of integration. I can't use the tool because there is no integration between the tool and the environment.""We'd like to see them add more custom templates.""Veeam ONE should improve its UI."

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 →

  • "For what it does, the price is acceptable."
  • "If you have Veeam Backup and Replication with the essential license then this solution is free. If you were to purchase Veeam ONE by itself it is priced cheaper than competitors."
  • "The licenses are code-based or server-based for Veeam ONE. The last version is 12, and it is host-based, I don't like to move to a code-based solution."
  • "Veeam has been raising its prices in the last two years, so it's now lacking some competitiveness in pricing."
  • "I have not used the resale license in our testing environments. Sometimes, our customers used the trial license for 30 days and so on."
  • "I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."
  • "The cost is based on the number of core servers."
  • "Our licensing cost is $200 a year."

    Yes I have has a chance to do a POC for the Veeam backup and replication product. And to be honest I had a good experience of trying the product and the capabilities with VMware along with this product are somethings that I was impressed with. Other products can also do almost all the similar things but they in addition to cater to the Virtual environment and are also efficient in handling the physical environments.. But Veeam is purposely built only for virtualized infrastructure.

    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 ONE, part of Veeam Availability Suite, provides a comprehensive monitoring and analytics solution for backup, virtual and physical environments. With support for Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam Agents, as well as VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and Nutanix AHV, Veeam ONE delivers deep, intelligent monitoring, reporting, and automation through interactive tools and intelligent learning, identifying and resolving real customer problems before they begin:

    • Intelligent automation and diagnostics: Employ built-in intelligence to identify and resolve common infrastructure and software misconfigurations via built-in intelligence and improve response times through.
