We did the implementation in-house.

I don't do a lot of deployments. It is mostly handled by a different group of people in my company.

We do offer professional services for implementation. Very often, we will take care of that, but it isn't really required.

The number of people required for its deployment and implementation depends upon the size of the environment. A small environment could be basically installed, maintained, and managed by one person. A much larger environment, depending upon how frequently you're doing restores and how complex your retention policies are, could require more people.

Veeam itself implements our solutions, although when it comes to maintenance activities, that depends on the customer.

I work in Italy as a system integrator, so I install the product for our company's customers.

The installation is straightforward, but managing the system can be challenging, as it may require installing various tools on different machines. Consequently, a substantial infrastructure is necessary, involving approximately ten servers for the complete solution. The deployment process took approximately three weeks. Initially, we devised a plan, followed by the design phase. Once the design was finalized, we proceeded with the installation and implementation. The deployment was carried out in-house, with the involvement of two to three individuals.

I work with my company's IT team to handle the deployment. It's done in-house. The deployment process takes around an hour. 

Typically, I discuss the deployment process with my manager or attend a meeting to discuss the solution and get approval. It's not a cumbersome process and is quite straightforward.

I'm the senior architect and system admin managing all the servers (physical and virtual) in the data center. When it comes to implementations, I have another manager beside me, along with five other junior staff.

I implemented Veeam myself in one day, and added all the infrastructure with HyperV and VMware to our repository. We have almost 200 VMs for different applications and we implemented those in two days. Most implementations take just a few hours.

We used an integrator, reseller, and a public consultant, which was very expensive.

The experience was good but it was a bit of a process with a bit of a struggle.

mainly we are doing the implementation through our certified team and in case we need any support form main vendor we can get it , Veaam technical support team and veeam technical consultant are Excellent and supportive . 

We have implemented Veeam in-house, as it is very important for us to do it this way when it comes to backups and data replication.

The deployment process typically takes two to three hours.

I've only ever done in-house implementations of Veeam. I have had discussions on occasions with Veeams technical team before installation of some more complex environments and they have always been insightful and knowledgeable and understood the capabilities of their products at an in-depth level. But normally the implementation was straightforward and didn't require any assistance.

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.

The installation was through a third party. It was handled by one of our partners. 

We can help our clients set up the solution.

The Veeam engineers have actually helped a customer install it on-site as well. There was a gentleman from the Veeam engineering team that called him on his cell phone and they had it installed within five minutes. It was phenomenal support.

Overall, we have two people who are responsible for deployment and maintenance as it relates to everything involving the physical backup and virtual environment. 

While I don't know the exact parameters of the maintenance, I do know that all of our support needs in this respect are covered. 

Maintenance is handled by a third party. We do not have a separate team for handling this. 

Regarding deployment, I was able to install the software myself. I had it up and running in a couple of days. We went through a period of more than a week to ensure that the backups were being done properly, were being finished properly. I would say within a couple of weeks it settled down and it's been working fine since then. 

In terms of deployment, it usually takes one person. I installed it with a colleague — we're both Veeam certified, so that helps. From the point of view of the end-users, they seemed to grasp it pretty readily. At every institution, there are one or two people that are needed to maintain it — that's it. As I said, it's stable and relatively simple to use. My customers are satisfied with it.

We handle the implementation ourselves for our clients. We don't need an implementor or consultant to help us.

I have implemented many times with an in house team.

We completed the implementation in-house using local resources.

We did the implementation of Veeam Backup & Replication ourselves. We only use one person for the maintenance and support of the solution.

We implemented this solution through an in-house team. 

We had some assistance from our contact with Veeam in Dubai.

Veeam was implemented by an in-house team. Training for installation and configuration was found on Veeam website and support was ready to assist if any bumps were found.

We implemented this solution through an in-house team. 

Our integrator is one who generally deals with IBM and Lenovo hardware in Egypt and we were the first case they had working with a Veeam solution. They listened to what we needed and what we were asking for. We need on the job training so we needed their help for the first month or so after the installation. The engineer was very helpful in guiding us through the deployment. He was very professional. He helped us at the beginning but after a certain point, we had some issues and he would tell us that he'd get back to us but he never did. He was busy and didn't prioritize us because we're not his main customer. We turned for support from Veeam themselves and they were responsive and helped us.

It requires two staff members for maintenance. They're two engineers that act as backup for each other. We really only need one engineer to administer everything but if he's not there, the other one is there as backup.  

We just did it in house.

In the company that I work for, we have a managed services group. So, our backup and engineering team for managing other environments are also are skilled at doing Veeam.

We have a lot of customers that use Veeam, and I'm the installer implementer. I implement these solutions and do upgrades to them. There are a couple of us who are field engineers, and either of us can maintain and deploy updates.

In-house.

We implemented this solution through an in-house team. 

We implemented through an in-house team. There are two administrators for maintenance. 

We can do it ourselves.

Implementation was all internal.

In-house.

This solution was setup in house. We did not use a vendor to configure it, since my company acted as an IT provider for the company we were implementing it for.

We used an outside consultant who was extremely familiar with Veeam, they did great.

This was deployed through an in-house team with assistance from Veeam support when needed.

It was deployed by the reseller.

We are an integrator. For its deployment and maintenance, one system administrator is enough.

Installation was done internally by our team. Deployment took about three hours 

We handled the implementation ourselves.

We provide BDR services so we learned Veeam and installed it ourselves.

I implemented our Veeam installation myself with minimal help from Veeam support. I definitely recommend a vendor team that will work closely with you throughout the entire process if you will be supporting the Veeam product on your own instead of Backup as a Service. The advice I have about implementation is to make sure you have appropriately sized backup storage and a dedicated WAN if using offsite replication or backup copy/offsite archive.

In-house team.

If needed, we do the installation for our clients. Our technical process team is responsible for that.

We received help from the OEM. After set up it is easy to manage ourselves without help from OEM or any system user.

We have five people for maintenance of Veeam Backup Replication.

As product implementation becomes more sophisticated, Veeam recognizes the growing need to identify entrusted and authorized partners who possess the highest expertise level and are able to deliver high-quality services to ensure that our users are completely satisfied. We are the first and only certified professional services partner In Turkey.  Maintenance services is important in enterprise large accounts.

We leveraged talent in-house. Implementation of simple (but robust) functions can be really straight forward for most small to medium environments. To get basic services up running we suggest that customers download the free version and get started with it. This will introduce them to how Veeam approaches backup and recovery. Sometimes Backup Admins are a little shocked at how easy it is to admin, even though they have used and are very familiar with legacy products.

I work for a Veeam partner so we implement all Veeam deployments ourselves. My best advice for Veeam goes for all other products that support it: use a dedicated backup target such as Data Domain, StoreOnce, FalconStor, etc. Not only are these devices designed for this type of workload (improves performance) but you will get a secondary benefit of the hardware deduplication that makes your backup jobs incredibly small and efficient. You can run Veeam and a server and backup to the local storage to save money but the long-term solution is not as good and problem-free.

It was all done by our in-house IT team.

We did it with a vendor team to give us a head start. You really have to review the installation afterwards. Veeam is evolving very quickly, you could be missing out on interesting features.

We collaborated with a vendor but did 70% of the implementation with internal personal.

Deployment and maintenance involves two or three people. It is quite easy. 

We did not use a consultant from the vendor side. Everything was handled by our team. We did it in-house.

The implementation was completed within the company.

It was installed in-house within a few hours. I now work for a vendor and I have installed the product for hundreds of customers.

We did it in-house.

We implemented it in-house.

We are an IT consultancy business doing implemetations ourself, so 100% done by us at N2IT.

We implemented it in-house.

In-house

The solution is simple and easy and there is no need to be an IT architect to deploy it. This can even be handled by an engineer.

The maintenance of the solution for pulling updates is not a big deal. It's manual. It only involves the operation of Veeam agents to the latest version. 

We had a system integrator that implemented the whole solution for us.

The solution does not need a lot of maintenance, the upgraders do not interfere with our systems very much.

This was all setup in house.

I designed and implemented it myself.

We implemented through a vendor team. They have been very responsive and cooperative, as well as very informed as to how the solution works and the best practices that are to be followed.

In-house.

We are installing/configuring Veeam in customer environments.

In house with only the documents from Veeam. No problems at all.

We implemented Veeam B&R as part of a wider Datacentre modernization project including replacement of the SAN and physical server infrastructure. The Technical Consultants involved were introduced as a result of the tendering process, they were part of the re-seller team and were well versed in the Veeam product at the time.

I implemented the production instance through a vendor. The vendor was competent and able to configure Veeam properly. However I do not see the need to use a vendor for future Veeam implementations. The Veeam install and setup process if easy to figure out.

We did the implementation ourselves.

We deploy it ourselves, and we only use support when we have technical issues with the product. We have three engineers for deployment.

I implemented through an integrator.

I did it myself because I am a consultant as well as an integrator.

I handled the installation and implementation of this product myself.

I was previously working as a project engineer with my company, implementing Veeam at many clients. I am now working as a Resident Engineer and IT Consultant outsourced from my original employer (implementation vendor). Both ways I have had good experiences with Veeam.

We did it in-house.

I did the setup myself. We are a system integrator company and we do implementation of Veeam for customers. We have a great experience with Veeam, so it was not a problem for us.

We implemented it ourselves with our three person backup team made up of three admins.

I’ve being installing Veeam for our customer base for many years and gained a lot of experience and my advice to anyone is to seek professional advice on the backup solution as a whole. Buy more backup to disk pace than you think you need and play with the Surebackup function.

We implemented the solution in house. We are a Veeam service provider but went to VeeamOn for additional training, not that the software is complicated but there is so much functionality that meeting the engineers provided great insight.

It was done in-house with assistance from our network engineer. It is important to have use a SQL database version for Veeam that matches your production SQL database version.

The entire implementation was done in-house by the team of which I'm a part.

We are a vendor.

In-house.

I implemented the product myself on my own. I am the responsible system engineer supervising all back up systems and Veeam Products.

With this one, we had one side set up by an integrator and the other, I did myself. If you are going to implement it, do a bit of reading yourself or let somebody who knows what they're doing do it for you, or do it together. 

The solution is easy to support once it has been set up. 

We to the implementation of the solution.

We used a reseller to implement the solution.

We had an integrator do most of the implementation.

I am the only one in the organization who uses the software.

We performed it in-house and did not use a vendor team or a consultant.

I did it myself.

I did the implementation myself. To implement, you have to prepare servers, prepare storage, and prepare virtual machines.

Our in-house team was responsible for the implementation.

We have four people in our IT team. They are all administrators.

I’m responsible for choosing and implementing this product. I discovered Veeam through my previous jobs. In this one, it was already implemented by local IT engineers.

We did it in-house.

I implemented the solution.

We did it in-house.

All the infrastructure of our customers have been fully designed and implemented by us.

The setup and implementation was done by ourselves.

In-house.

In-house because we are Veeam vendor partner.

We did the install and setup in house with minimal support and once we licensed the product we made calls to support only when trying to understand the best practices for configuration and how to achieve the results we expected.

In-house.

Vendor team, and their level is adequate.

We had the help of a reseller and the experience was good.

In-house and vendor team - expertise was on a level and did not require extensive amounts of time. 

We performed an in-house setup. You need to make sure there is a proper planning especially if snapshot backup is needed on storage array. This feature makes sure that no VM snapshot committed to a virtual server can cause a ping drop, and this is crucial on sensitive servers. The requirement to make it happen is likely to have the Veeam server running on a physical box with direct connectivity to storage array.

We did all the work in-house.

In-house.

I implemented the solution in-house.

We have one person that handles the deployment and maintenance.

I did the deployment myself.

We did it in-house after receiving training from the vendor. In case your company does not have sufficient technical resources, the best option is to contract Professional Services from Veeam Partners.

We did the entire implementation in-house.

In-house one, my team has excellent expertise.

Two of us can deploy this solution depending on the use case. Usually, one person is enough to maintain Veeam.

We deploy for others and for our own use in a cloud environment.

We're a systems integrator and we deploy it to different environments. Veeam has great documentation for deployment and planning on their website. My only advice to is to include a scenario base during recovery for example, whenever you do IVR, expect throughput to be slow as it will be mounted from backup repository.

I'm an integrator so I can't rate myself.

The implementation, which includes testing and showing a demonstration to the customer, takes two hours. We have a three-person team that supports the solution.

We have our own Veeam certified engineers who deploy and maintain it.

I did it myself and used my team in projects. I found the SureBackup implementation quite tricky, especially the health check mechanism which can be a bit confusing.

FLEXdata implement Veeam B&R for our clients, working in partnership with their in-house teams. Putting in design and planning effort upfront ensures we deliver successful outcomes to our clients.

In-house implementation, we have a lot of skilled personel. Knowledge about the product and about backup theory in general is a must.

Vendor Team, team was domain expert.

I implemented it by myself. My advice for implementation is to install Veeam on a dedicated backup server. It is important to plan a backup strategy like 3-2-1: 3 copies on 2 different medias and 1 offsite.
