Chose Veeam Data Platform
As I mentioned before, I used ArcServe and Acronis. ArcServe, in particular, was a licensed product at my previous company, and I had purchased a three-year license. After comparing it to Veeam, I regretfully realized it was a waste of money. It will never be able to support …

If i compare Veeam as a solution compared to Azure Backup, Veeam Data Platform offers broader workload coverage, including virtual, physical, and multi-cloud environments, along with faster recovery options and advanced features like Instant VM Recovery and SureBackup.

Chose Veeam Data Platform
We use Arcserver for our physical server or drive partition backup. But it's not stable. Once in a while, it has alarms stating the data tranasferring to its destination has problem. We spent much time on this, but it still happens. Furthermore, the switch between the primary …

Veeam Data Platform does well compared to the products I listed above. Though ived used them in different scenarios and all are great tools. In my opinion, Veeam Data Platform was by far the easiest to utilize and implement.

It's hard to compare - you have to evaluate your organization's needs to pick what is best suited. Additionally, factors that require planning, such as an ever-changing and evolving landscape, may necessitate adjusting your approach to a problem, which may include considering a …

Veeam Data Platform offered a better, easier to use product at a significant cost reduction than Bacula Enterprise. Bacula was almost 5 times the cost of Veeam Data Platform and, having now used both in my career, Veeam Data Platform is absolutely the better product in terms …
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Veeam Data Platform offered a more user-friendly interface and a faster uptime for data repopulation. Plus no software hacks reported was a bonus.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Veeam Data Platform is much more vast in terms of features compared to the Veeam Data Platform backup for Salesforce product. Although the Veeam Data Platform backup for Salesforce is pretty good at what it does. It lacks the ability to be able to restore all objects at once. …
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Veeam Data Platform is superior in every way to each and every backup solution I have ever used.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Veeam Data Platform is reliable, simple and user friendly. All the review that I read was positive so I made my choice based on that.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
I used Quest at my previous employer and it was wonderful. Their pricing increased over the years while not offering any new features. We looked at their new offering (qorestore and netvault), but that was significantly more expensive than Rapid Recovery so we looked at other …
Chose Veeam Data Platform
I used these products at other businesses. That said Veeam is by far more flexible than any other backup product I have ever used. While many have a reporting/overview product, Veeam ONE is also the most comprehensive single-pane-of-glass tool I have ever used as well.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Veeam is much more robust and easy to manage than the competitors that we used in the past. I never got the same feeling of confidence with those backups that I have now with Veeam. The pricing was also similar or better, and less complicated since there is just one type of …

Veeam is much faster and more cost effective than NetVault.

Good, it backs up linux where shadowprotect does not. ShadowProtect is less expensive so we keep it as well.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
We didn't have a true solution before and we went off the recommendation from our vendor to help us get the solution setup and ready to go. So far we are very happy with the recovery and the ease of use of the product. I would definitely purchase it again in the future.

Veeam Data Platform beats competition on price and full stack advantage
Chose Veeam Data Platform
We have always gotten the use and features promised by Veeam Data Platform where other providers either couldn't deliver or didn't have the feature set. Veeam Data Platform tends to under promise and over deliver.
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Commvault is a standard backup platform for Enterprise backups, but we have no need for its extensive client abilities or the staff for the vast infrastructure that is required to use it. Cohesity is a truly fantastic system, but it is too far for larger companies than the one …

Veeam Software
I have been a Sysadmin for 3 decades and have used all manner of backup software and systems. I'm now at a place where our needs are not all that great, but my experience with other platforms has allowed the company greater flexibility in restores and, more importantly, in testing and quality assurance of our in-house software. As a small company, we have relatively simple needs, and Veeam has met all of our requirements, so I cannot say that they are deficient in any way.

Pros
Veeam Software
  • Veeam stands out among backup solutions because of its ability to work with almost any storage type. For example, only a small portion of backup solutions will support catalyst stores, Veeam does.
  • Veeam is extremely flexible when it comes to setting it up. I had a network recently that limited ethernet connectivity between the Veeam VM and the backup repository and Veeam handled it easily.
  • Day-to-day use of Veeam is very simple. It is easy to train our technicians to use it proficiently in a very short amount of time.
  • Our Veeam VMs don't have issues very often, but the one or two times I have called for support, they answered right away, and the technicians assisting us were knowledgeable about their products.

Cons
Veeam Software
  • It should recommend the most secure method of backup methods to ensure immutability.
  • It should maximize SnapMirror technology when using a NetApp as a backup target to replicate backups to CVO targets.
  • It should provide a centralized dashboard for backing up all PaaS services in Azure.

I really have no complaints about Veeam Backup & Replication. Their service has been excellent and the cost is minimal in comparison to other services I checked out. Implementation wasn't simple and the Veeam Support team was there to help each step of the way.

Usability
Veeam Software
It is a very robust solution that has never failed. It also has perfect integration with Windows server volume shadow copies. The processing load is moved from the backup server to the backup proxy. Increased fault tolerance: you can store data on a separate machine, the backup repository. Can perform a bare metal restore.

Reliability and Availability
Veeam Software
I give Veeam Data Platform a rating of 9 for availability because it consistently performs reliably in critical data protection and recovery tasks. The platform is designed to minimize downtime, ensuring that backup and recovery processes are accessible when needed.While there may be rare instances of maintenance or minor application errors, these do not significantly affect the overall reliability of the system. Veeam’s strong architecture and features like high availability configurations further enhance its performance, allowing us to trust it in crucial situations. Overall, it has proven to be a dependable solution that meets our organization's needs effectively.

Performance
Veeam Software
Veeam does a good job with backing up our servers in a timely manner. We are still at the beginning of our Veeam use and are pleased with the speed at which we can access the system as well as the backups and restore points. Veeam is definitely superior to our previous backup system in terms of speed and accessibility

Support Rating
Veeam Software
The support team has never asked me to jump through silly hoops or waste time on pointless exercises. They seem to truly have a handle on what may be wrong. In fact, when we were having trouble getting our license renewal setup (because of yet another license migration at Veeam) a support incident got us connected to the right people to get our renewal done in time.

In-Person Training
Veeam Software
I rated the in-person training an 8 because it was generally effective and provided a solid foundation for understanding the Veeam Data Platform. The instructors were knowledgeable and engaged, making the sessions interactive. However, I felt that some topics could have been covered in more depth, and additional hands-on exercises would have further reinforced the learning experience. Overall, it was a positive training session that adequately prepared attendees for using the product, but there's room for improvement.

Online Training
Veeam Software
I gave it a rating of 7 because, although the online training offered valuable content and covered the essential aspects of the Veeam Data Platform, it lacked interactivity and opportunities for direct engagement with instructors. This made it challenging to ask questions or delve deeper into specific topics. Additionally, some sections felt a bit rushed, which could hinder a comprehensive understanding of more complex features. Overall, while the training was useful, improvements in interactivity and pacing could elevate the experience significantly.

Veeam Software
Plan the process and then work through your plan, i know this should go without saying but its easy to get sidetracked. You tend to want to just get up and running so you can have that sigh of relief, spend the time to talk to your business stakeholder to see what goals they are trying to accomplish and how that may impact your plans first.

Alternatives Considered
Veeam Software
Historically, it's been the lowest cost per feature. Easiest to use, lowest cost to maintain, and vast in the things it keeps adding in its feature set. It was just a vmware only backup utility, but now it does baremetal, cloud, NAS (like qnap/synology). Veeam Data Platform which is the monitoring side of it also gives great insights.

Scalability
Veeam Software
In terms of scalability for our company, Veeam was able to cover our backup needs with ease. They have options for even more individualized backup if we were to need them; i.e. if a specific workstation needs its own independent backup. We have not used these resources yet, but I am confident they will be beneficial to our company in the near future.

Return on Investment
Veeam Software
  • When Veeam is running well, I don't need to babysit it at all; I just read the email reports and am done.
  • When it doesn't work, Veeam consumes entire days getting everything working again.
  • Veeam has significantly improved how we test new software by enabling easy duplication of existing resources to different platforms.
