User Testimonials
	Veeam Backup for Azure
Likelihood to Recommend	Veeam Software For our purposes I can't particularly find any shortcomings of Veeam Backup for Azure. It has been working well for our needs for a few years now. Maybe for someone with a larger cloud footprint or more complex needs, or maybe someone who wants to be able to deploy and configure the appliance using infrastructure as code it may not be as practical.

Pros	Veeam Software Reduce storage costs and minimizing the impact on network consuption. Veaam Backup for Azure provides application-aware backups for Microsoft SQL Server, ensuring that our data is backed up and available for recovery correctly. Replication: Veeam Backup for Azure helps us to replicate our workloads to another Azure region or on-premises environment for disaster recovery purposes and compliance needs. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Veeam Software Documentation around service account permissions was a little sparse when we implemented it It's sometimes hard to get the reason behind a (rare) job failure without going into logs The UI around snapshots and backups could do with some clarity around the restore points that will be available Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Veeam Software Plainly, the product just works. I don't have to babysit it. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Veeam Software It was so easy that you thought it wasn't working. Once you saw data and was able to recover it or do a restore with the product those beliefs in the system went to the roof. Once you get a product that does everything you want it to do, you will give it it's props. Incentivized Joe listenbee System Administrator Read full review

Alternatives Considered	Veeam Software Backup Exec was a very clunky application and took forever to backup to and restore from. We would backup to SSD external hard drives from a flash array, but the process still took forever to finish. Sending our data to the Azure blob storage via Veeam is a faster and more secure process than saving to the external hard drives with Backup Exec.

Return on Investment	Veeam Software We have had fast recovery of documents when needed; sub 10 minutes from start of restore to complete and in the users hands Easily a value add for backing up files outside of the given Microsoft retention period; piece of mind Easy tool to use with minimal training required to use it and set up backups When you do change your cloud licensing it does require manual intervention to update backup data requirements. if the business makes changes then your backup person may not know to make these changes Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
