Veeam Backup & Replication Reviews

VM Replication, Individual item restore.

Improved virtual infrastructures backup and recovery.

Backup of Physical could be improved. Additionally, customer service needs improvement.

2 years.

Customer service needs improvement.

Good.

Initial setup for Virtual was bit complex.

In-house.

My primary use case is as a physical environment for cloud protection in different public clouds.

The most valuable feature is the internal recovery.

In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included.

I have been using this solution for about four years.

This product is very, very stable.

This product is pretty scalable and flexible.

The technical support is pretty good and is available in English and Spanish in Latin America.

The initial setup was very simple and took about an hour.

Licensing is available both annually and monthly, with no additional fees.

I would rate this solution as ten out of ten.

We primarily use it for backup and replication.

It's a very easy solution to use. It's easy for IT teams to manage, however, you don't need any special skills to really wrap your head around the product.

The product is very simple in its design. We don't need it to perform complicated tasks.

We work with the standard version, which is free.

It would be helpful if there was something that could assist you in managing the database more effectively.

It needs to offer an automatic check for backups.

I've been using the solution for three years.

The solution is very stable. We don't have any issues with its reliability. It's bug and glitch-free for the most part. It doesn't crash or freeze.

We've never really tested the scalability of the product. It's my understanding that you can extend service to ten or maybe to 20 machines. It's not complicated to do that. However, I can't speak to its full potential as it relates to scalability.  

We only have four people dealing with the product directly in our company.

Technical support is okay. We're satisfied with the level of service we're provided.

The initial implementation is not complex in any way. It's very straightforward.

While we work with the standard version of the solution, if you want to upgrade, the pricing is too high. They could work to make it more affordable for the Polish market. It's too high for most companies to afford. If it was more affordable, it could be more accessible.

We're just a customer. We don't have a business relationship with Veeam. 

We're using the standard version of the solution.

While I'd advise others to look at other companies to compare, I do recommend Veeam. It's my understanding that 60% of IT companies use Veeam. It's very popular.

Overall, I'd rate the solution six out of ten if I were to compare it to other versions of Veeam products. It's an okay solution. If it had an automatic check for backups, I'd rate it much higher.

Protection of virtual workloads.

• Rotating HDDs for offline backups use case
• Instant VM recovery with vPower NFS and SureBackup, also known as Recovery Assurance by other vendors.

• Relying on open source infrastructure for Veeam's architectural components instead of Microsoft for OS and DB.
• Support for containers, and agent-less KVM backups, and Citrix environments.

It’s very simple to implement and use. It is agentless. It is integrated with HPE storage solutions (SAN and a deduplicated repository) and it supports instant VM recovery.

We have significantly improved the restore process of single items, like an Exchange Mailbox with a very simple wizard-driven process.

It requires a Windows Server, but it would be a good idea to have an appliance with no Microsoft license required. As of now, there’s no chance to backup NAS shares (CIFS/NFS).

I have known and used Veeam Backup and Replication from v6 in 2011.

There were no stability issues in my experience.

There were some issues with repository scalability in legacy versions.

The technical support team is professional and competent. I would give technical support a rating of 9/10.

We used Symantec Backup Exec and CA Arcserve. We changed because there was a lack of features specific for a virtualization environment. Arcserve has a complex way to backup Exchange.

The price is adequate for the quality of the product. There are several editions/licenses that start from basic functionality (Standard Edition) to the edition that includes maximum integration (Enterprise Plus). I would recommend considering at least the Enterprise Edition.

We try to use both Symantec Backup Exec and CA Arcserve.

Only consider the Availability Suite if you need to monitor your virtual environment within backup processes and you have nothing implemented on it.

The fact that it comes with backup and replication is a must. The integration with EMC Data Domain and similar products is also a very good feature. The same can be said about the backups from storage snapshots.

We use Veeam with EMC Data Domain. This allowed us to simplify our backup processes and enable us to have faster and more streamlined backup jobs. It's also easier to manage than our previous solution with huge space savings. Since Veeam also allows us to replicate machines we use that feature in a way that provide us more flexibility when we need to test some updates or changes without risking our production environment.

The downside is when you need to backup physical servers as usually most organizations aren't running a 100% virtualized environment so that can be an issue. Another issue is when clients have file level data on storage and need or want to backup using NDMP as I believe that this isn't supported yet.

We had no issues deploying it.

There have been no performance issues.

It's been able to scale for our needs.

It's simple to install and configure.

If most, or all, of your environment is based on virtual machines and you want something that is simple to install, configure and manage but above all else, something that backups and restores your data successfully then Veeam is your product.

The speed of performing backups and restores. It's super fast.

We looked for the best solution to get backups of our VM without downtime, and I found this was the best solution. We highly recommend it for virtual servers.

It could be so nice and useful if Veeam had a feature to enable backup of physical servers, especially physical Linux servers. This image-based backup would be an improvement.

I've been using it for three years.

Some little issues with logs which were fixed after updates.

No issues encountered yet.

No issues encountered.

10/10.

10/10.

It was very easy.

I rolled out this service to a meteorology organization.

I tried Symantec system recovery, but Veeam is really faster and user friendly.

This is the number one product for backups and restorations of VMs in an enterprise environment.

Backup.

Improved backup and recovery speeds, ease of use.

Problems occur using VMware based snapshots.

4 years.

No.

Nothing serious, fixed quickly via patch.

No.

Was excellent now very good.

Good+.

BackupExec, not good enough support for VM backup.

Straightforward.

I am a certified integrator, so in-house.
