I did trying to get the initial backups to run on for a SQL Server. It was stopping a service for some odd reason when trying to run the backup. Also had some speed issues due to running multiple jobs at once.

We had an outside vendor do the initial deployment
View full review »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.
View full review »We have had no issues with the deployment so far as multi-site WAN acceleration works out of the box, and so far we've been very happy with our experience
View full review »We did run into a few issues of certain applications not being entirely compatible with Veeam, or requiring a bit of customization to our backup jobs to ensure they work correctly. This is mostly due to SQL express databases not allowing truncation during backup jobs, which isn’t necessary a fault with the Veeam software, but our implementation of other products in our environment
View full review »We have had some hiccups with it once in a great while. Nothing major, and nothing that would stop me from recommending it.
View full review »We did have some small discoveries as we rolled out the product to our customers. WAN acceleration is extremely robust and a valuable feature built into the Enterprise version of the product.
View full review »Deploying Veeam is as easy as you get. The installation is wizard-driven and will install any dependencies you may need that aren’t already installed. On the other hand, I have had some issues with scalability. Specifically, backing up large virtual file servers for me goes very slowly. Veeam has a concept of a backup proxy, which moves the resource load to whatever is designated as the proxy. This can be the local Veeam server or another physical or virtual server.
View full review »Not at all, we found it to be extremely intuitive to install, really clearly letting us know of any issues across network at each stage so could easily remedy.
View full review »Some issues with backup proxies, but these issues were partly caused by the partner who installed Veeam. I just read the manual and took care of them myself. Can't blame Veeam for that.
View full review »Deployment went smoothly and without and major sticking points or issues.
View full review »Never. This is the strength of the product.
View full review »No issues encountered.

View full review »We had no issues with the deployment.
View full review »No issues encountered.
View full review »Not at all, and we have a few Veeam servers in different locations.
View full review »Every IT environment has it's specific needs and caveats. Of course I encountered some minor issues when deploying Veeam, but this is mostly related to the IT environment itself. Rare issues are logged with, and solved by Veeam support.
View full review »The only issues i've had is with updates. The program will error and then the server needs rebooting or the patch reapplied. I have only noticed that issue with version 7.
View full review »Initial teething problems with replication of data between main site and the DR site but this has since been resolved.
View full review »I used a 3rd party consultant to aid in the deployment however after watching it done I was sorry to have paid someone else to do it. The deployment process appeared to be very straightforward.
View full review »Nothing, the only problem encounter during installation is a Windows firewall problem but not linked directly to Veeam.
View full review »No issues encountered.
View full review »No issues encountered.
View full review »Patch release and support are both very efficient and it doesn't take ages for most issues to be resolved.

It was mostly a smooth transition, but I would caution against using Veeam to back up a SQL 2000 database though, if anyone still has SQL 2000 databases in production. SQL 2000 databases do not acquiesce when snapshots are taken, and the entire SQL database can become corrupted. The SQL 2000 VM must be powered off before the VM backup. I learned that the hard way.
View full review »The only issues we encountered until v8 was the fact that we couldn't automate the patching and upgrading of our environment. Starting with v8, Veeam optimized their silent install procedure, and now we're working on automating the whole process of keeping the product up to date with major releases and patches.
Besides this we've only experienced minor setbacks, such as proxy servers not being able to upgrade or uninstall properly due to the older local installer/uninstaller kits being overwritten in time by constant updates.
View full review »No, but is important to read all the requirements for the explorer to avoid problems before finishing the implementation.
View full review »No. The deployment was very easy and self-explanatory.
View full review »I haven't encountered any issues with deployment for 3 years.
View full review »Only issues were with licensing. Mixed versions across sites made licensing a bit difficult. Also, having to use Cloudberry to upload to AWS S3 is not ideal, although it does work OK.
View full review »No issues encountered.
View full review »We have had no issues with the deployment.
View full review »I had some issues at the start of the project with the performance. The problem was solved after analyzing and setting changes. I have not solved an issue with MS SQL Always-on servers with transaction lag backup. The case has so far been opened for half-year.
View full review »Deploying Veeam was easy and I made sure to take a few minutes to design my solution prior to installing it.
View full review »No issues encountered.
View full review »The deployment of this product is the most simple there is. Following step by step instructions in 10 minutes is all set.
View full review »Only one minor Microsoft related configuration issue that easily resolved.
View full review »No issues with deployment.
View full review »No deployment issues.
View full review »Issue when licenses files (.lic) are downloaded from OWA which would render it unusable. Also had issues in earlier version where snapshots weren't deleted properly but that can be attributed to a mix of the ESXi version and Veeam.
View full review »None ever. Only in regards to incorrect licensing, but this has been because of mistakes in regards to number of processors or wrong VMWare license.
View full review »We have had no issues with the deployment.
View full review »None, we did an extensive POC to get to know the product which helped us roll it out smoothly.
View full review »No issues – easy deployment.
View full review »No issues with deployment.
View full review »No deployment problems, super easy.
View full review »We have had no issues with the deployment.
View full review »Once we had an upgrade issue, but the excellent support from Veeam solved it fast.
View full review »No issues with deployment.
View full review »No problems with deployment.
View full review »Haven't had any issues.
View full review »Deployment of the software is very very simple and anyone can do it. Just a simple wizard to get started and you need not dedicate a server for this and any computer (physical/virtual) with good resources can handle this job. The install support documents are well elaborated and anyone who can read English and knows basics of computer networking can deploy this software in their Infrastructure.
View full review »Main issues were related to sizing the correct infrastructure as Veeam solution needs many components (such as Proxy Servers, Repositories, WAN Accelerators, etc.) for a complete Backup & Replication solution. For medium/large environments, initial configuration may take some time.
View full review »No problems with deployment.
View full review »Issues with deployment - none.
View full review »I have not encountered any issues with deployment or stability or scalability.
View full review »No issues as such with stability and scalability, but from the deployment perspective, we expect it to support a hybrid environment - multiple-edition deployment within one single Veeam Backup Server instance. It should not require having the same edition.
