Veeam Backup & Replication Reviews

Veeam's virtual lab is very useful for making use of existing backups for other purposes.

We use Veeam to protect our production environment without the need to install clients on every VM for every different MSFT applications that we have in production.

Veeam's been doing a good job in terms of delivering new features.

We have used this solution for more than 5 years.

The deployment was easy as pie.

There were no stability issues.

Our production environment is small but growing. So far, there have been no issues in terms of scalability for our use.

Customer service is pretty good. I would give them a rating of 7/10.

I never had to use technical support. The tool is pretty intuitive and we can solve most of the issues on our own.

It all comes down to cost.

The initial setup it was straightforward.

We did an in-house implementation.

Talk to your Veeam rep.

The solution scales in an easy and intuitive way.

• Replication
• Exchange Integration
• Bandwidth Optimization
• File Level Restore

• Drastically reduce administrative effort
• Friendly User Interface
• Faster backup recovery
• Disaster Recovery Plan
• Decrease amount of backup completion

Retention Policy isn't flexible enough to configure complex retention policy.

No deployment problems.

No stability problems.

No scability problems.

vRanger

Yes, just follow the Administrative/Quick guide, it's friendly user.

Upgrades, reduce administrative effort to do automation, disaster recovery.

• Acronis
• BackupExec

It's a very straight forward software that does not require technical intervention. Can fully integrate with VMware / Hyper-V without any issues. If your are not sure what is going to be the final decision, try It for free and see the results by yourself.

Inter site backup replication, object level AD restore and complete VMDK level VM backup and restore.

It is helpful in BCP in the event of disaster and human errors on VM infrastructure to reduce MTTR and fast recovery.

Random CBT errors during backup jobs.

More than 3 years.

No, those are related to network not related to product.

No stability issues.

No scalability issues.

It's good but comparing to VMware and Microsoft they lack little behind.

It's good but comparing to VMware and Microsoft they lack little behind.

Net backup and we switched to this considering agent less backup operation by this product that help our operations to run live without performance issues.

It's not complex as all.

An in-house team.

It's great when compared to Net backup and Tivoli. Also. it improves our customer offering as backup operations are independent of resources provided to servers.

YES, Avamar and Tivoli.

Veeam Backup Replication can be deployed on the cloud and on-premise. We choose the best option based on many factors, such as the environment complexity and maturity of the customer.

We use Veeam Backup Replication as a backup and recovery solution.

Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use and the interface is very configurable for the users. It's a very familiar solution in Algeria. 

The documentation and communication could be better in Veeam Backup Replication.

I have been using Veeam Backup & Replication for approximately 15 years.

We have approximately 50 customers using this solution.

The technical support from Veeam is very good.

Most of my customers previously used Veritas backup solutions.

The solution is very easy to implement.

We discovered Veeam Backup Replication with our presales people in our company. We did a POC at our office which is mandatory by our technical director when we discover a new solution. We go to the customer and discuss with them the difference and benefit of Veritas Backup Exec and Veeam and which can best suit their environment. Additionally, we show them the difference between using Veritas Backup Exec and the Veeam Backup Replication.

Veeam needs to work on their marketing for their solutions.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Veeam Backup Replication a nine out of ten.

Replicate several sites using VMware, centralise backup, and 10 agencies with Hyper-V and SQL databases.

Get only one interface to manage all backup sites, secure them with replication, and manage outside LTO media.

Replication and restore object in Exchange boxes with possibility to select part of Microsoft directory.

Support others operation systems, e.g., AIX. 

Add an archive option to support legal obligations.

• Centralized backup
• Remote WAN backup copy
• Replica
• Physical server backup.

If it backs up, then I'm sure it will restore!

• Application awareness (via Windows VSS Writers, Oracle RMAN integration, etc.)
• Quick migration.

Dedupe capabilities.

Backing up VMs and it has been successful so far.

It has mainly been in dev testing, so I would say it's helped us to protect our IP address and critical information.

The most valuable feature is its consistency.

The only issue on which we would like to see for improvement would be, potentially, the ability to do some different things with recovery, like faster recovery onsite.

It seems pretty stable.

I can't say that I have tested scalability.

We didn't have a previous solution. We just realized that protecting some of the important data was something that was needed at a certain point, that we needed to do.

Most important criterion when selecting a vendor would be: Does the solution it fit our needs, what we are trying to do?

My understanding is that the initial setup was pretty simple and straightforward.

Right now we haven't fully exercised the solution but what I'm seeing on the backup side is pretty good. On the recovery/restore side maybe not so much. We're still validating that. So I would give it seven out of 10 overall.

My advice would be, test it out and make sure it does what you want it to do. And make sure you can do what you need to get your data secure.
