Veeam Backup & Replication Reviews

Our primary use case is backup.

Replication.

• Seeding
• Faster backups over small links.

• DR features similar to Zerto
• No snapshots

Integration with VMware is essential, in addition to the functionality of Instant Recovery, WAN Acceleration, SureBackup, SureReplica and for the most part, it is not necessary to install agents for granular backups and restores. The adoption of compression and deduplication features are extremely important, and of course the cost benefit, because the licensing costs are not calculated according to backup volume.

We reduced licensing costs for our backup, as the trend of the backup is always increasing. The tool also provides significantly simpler management and easier backup and restore operations, among other factors such as the ability to test the backups and replicas of backups in our backup site.

I would like to see agents for backup of physical servers, as only agents for Windows servers have this tool. Storage backup for Linux servers is not yet possible.

I have used this solution for three months.

For our environment in particular, we have not found any difficulty or deployment issue.

Technical support is excellent.

Before Veeam, we used the IBM solution (TSM) and evaluated NetBackup from Symantec/Veritas. We chose Veeam because of its features, lower investment cost and ease of management.

Deployment and configuration of Veeam to our environment was incredibly simple. We did not have great difficulties.

We are a company that provides hosting services and IT services to the government of Amazonas. With the implementation of Veeam, our ROI increased from 30% (TSM) to 70% (Veeam), over the first three years.

Veeam’s licensing provided savings of almost 55% in the first three years. After this period, the savings will be even greater, because the license cost is not calculated by backup volume.

Evaluate the Veeam product before manking any decisions. In my view, Veeam sells itself, and a team of sales and marketing is not necessary. Let your technical team evaluate and issue its opinion.

The usability in general, support and knowledge documentation. I also find the training, and webinars useful. Apart from this, it also has specific features that are useful such as easy restore functionalities, instant file-level recovery, integration with multiple storage vendors, and explorer for Exchange amongst others. Also, its replication is very simple and reliable, as well as the synthetic full backup.

Lastly, Veeam Cloud Connect is another valuable feature. This allows you to backup and restore securely to and from the cloud. All you need to do is choose your cloud provider and it integrates into your systems.

It's affordability, ease of use, and reliability has allowed us to save both man-hours and money.

It needs to be able to integrate with more storage vendors, especially IBM and Dell.

I've been using it for almost four years.

We have had no issues with the deployment.

There have been no performance issues.

It's been able to scale for our needs.

7 to 8/10

Very straightforward but knowledge is a must, especially if you have complex scenarios and if you want correct responses and performance.

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

Try it! You can test it before buy it, almost without effort and you probably will forget a lot of other vendor solutions.

Surebackup, reverse incremental, parallel processing for VM and the hdd and many more.

Very smooth backup and restore when required.

As every application has a scope of improvement so the Veeam, there are many areas they can improve on: the CBT errors, in hot add many times it is found that the Veeam proxy do not release the HDD even after the backup, offsite repository is not very stable.

3 years.

Not Much, environment specific.

Not much, it is quite stable.

No.

Good.

Good.

No.

Straightforward but have some complicity in configuring offsite backup.

Vendor Team, team was domain expert.

ROI for backup point of view comes only when you are in a condition that only backup can help, I have been in such conditions many times in which Veeam has proved to be a EXCELLENT ROI for my company.

Yes, Avamar.

Excellent product for medium size datacenter, not sure about the large datacenters.

The primary use case of this solution is to take the complete backup of our Nutanix server and to dump it on our BR site. That's the feature we utilize. We are resellers of Veeam Backup & Replication. 

The solution provides two good features; backing up of the complete server in a plan, as well as copying or migrating it to another BR site. The solution provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred. If there is any kind of error you receive an alert message and everything can be configured. It does both these things without impacting performance. 

The solution requires a lot of bandwidth because our servers are heavy.

The solution is stable. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

Licensing is on an annual basis. 

This is generally a good solution. When I take actions on it, it gives a lot of visibility and reports on the dashboard. Technically speaking it's good.

I rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

We use the solution mainly for backup and redundancies. We keep historical VM images and replicate them to other data centers that we have.

The solution works well in two different environments, whether it is on-premises, cloud, or a combination.

If you do not use the standard software and you go with a third-party solution such as this one, it might not work the same. There is an integration issue I understand between the database standards.

Additionally, the solution can be difficult to manage if you do not have the training.

I have been using the solution for approximately three years.

The stability of the solution is good.

We have deployed this solution mostly in medium to large size businesses.

The installation is very straightforward.

When it comes to pricing for a backup solution for data centers, you do not care about the price. We just care about the service and want it to be reliable. In terms of subscription, it really makes sense. When you want to use all the functionalities it is good that Veeam did the subscription-based model, this is what gives it the most strength on the price.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication an eight out of ten.

We also provide services to our customers.

We use this solution to backup virtual machines.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the recuperation of the weaker machines.

Pricing can be improved.

I have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for between six and seven years.

We are using version 11.

It is very stable.

We can deploy as many virtual machines as we have in our environment.

We have approximately 25 users in our company.

Technical support is good.

Once you know the concept, it is very easy to install and setup.

The deployment time varies on how many machines you have.

In one week, you can have a very good installation.

They could work at providing a better price.

It is a very good product. It does what it takes to backup virtual machines. It is easy to set up and it is very quick.

So far, there isn't anything that I don't like and we are very happy with it.

I would rate Veeam Backup Replication a nine out of ten.

Instant Recovery is an amazing feature which reduces the recovery time from hours or sometimes from days to minutes. It enhances the business continuity results.

With the Instant Recovery, you can run the virtual machine from the backup repository at any disaster time. The users can access data and applications within a maximum of two minutes.

I have used this solution for three years.

There were no stability issues.

There were no scalability issues.

I would rate the technical support a a seven out of 10.

We still use other solutions to back up the physical environment, since Veeam only supports virtual machines.

The setup was very easy and straightforward, i.e., without any problems.

I always recommend using all the Veeam features, not only to just create backup jobs.

Veeam is not only a backup software, it helps your organization for business continuity and disaster recovery as well.
