  • Backups
  • Managing those backups/scheduled tasks
  • Restoring from backups
  • Running backups live from those backups
  • Software support is great; the few times we've ever needed them they've pulled through
  • A change to the interface for mounting then recovering individual files or folders feels clunky but it's the only complaint about the software. It works, the process just isn't as smooth as I'd like.
  • An inline product update from an update button rather than going to the Veeam page to download a new setup file would be pretty slick, not a deal breaker by any means though
  • It would be pretty neat to have an inline tech support data upload, provide a ticket number and have the support upload go directly to Veeam rather than taking that archive file and uploading it to the ticket via the web portal

  • Highly configurable
  • Dependable
  • Backups
  • UI update interval (like charts, copy speed update) is a bit slow.
  • Starting backups takes a while, doesn't really explain what it's doing.
  • Backups fail/warn for a lot of misc reasons, so a lot of time is spent diagnosing these (like the dreaded "Failed to index guest file system. VSSControl: Index failed").

  • Application-based restores are great & quick.
  • I like the idea of having several states of backups on different devices.
  • Copying existing backups to different types of media without touching the actual infrastructure is great.
  • Creating different types of jobs sometimes gives you a headache.
  • The way of creating a retention policy is very hard to understand at the beginning.

  • File-level restore is quick, reliable, and much simpler than other platforms I've used
  • Replication is extremely simple to configure and test
  • Agent setup for user endpoints and subsequent backup storage is incredibly simple
  • Cloud repository configuration is extremely straightforward and well-documented
  • My main gripe with Veeam Data Platform was resolved with the release of 12, which was cloud backup repository addition being extremely restricted in 11

  • Uses custom storage and is not tied to any particular storage vendor.
  • Veeam Data Platform has the ability to dedupe and encrypt backups on custom storage, including ZFS.
  • Backup and recovery of entire VMs is very convenient.
  • Backing up VMs on multiple vCenters across multiple sites is seamless with Backup Enterprise Manager
  • The scalability on Veeam Data Platform is great. You can run everything on one server/VM in a small environment, or scale out more VMs to manage the workload the larger your environment is.
  • The Veeam Data Platform documentation on their website is very comprehensive. Sometimes overwhelming, but most things you need to know can be found there.
  • Veeam Data Platform could use a web interface for the Backup and Recovery product without having to install a separate application (Backup Enterprise Manager)
  • Being able to see some stats without the VeeamONE product, such as how much storage an individual VM is using.
  • The documentation is well done, but it is still difficult to discern which roles do which job. Such as the Veeam Proxies connect directly to the Hypervisor, and the Veeam Gateways mount the repositories if they are network shares.
  • Continuation from the last point, allowing individual ports through firewalls requires quite a lot of planning, the larger your environment is. If you have a small environment with only one Veeam Data Platform server, this is not an issue.
  • Getting an agent installed on semi supported versions of Linux for our bare metal servers can end up being a one by one process. Our Windows bare metal servers installed seamlessly. The different flavors of Linux has been a challenge.
  • Hopefully they are adding more granular ACLs for the VM Recovery. Currently, if someone needs to recovery an entire VM, they have to be given access to everything on the Virtual Backup and Replication server. If they need file level recovery, they can leverage the web applcation if you have installed Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager and they have local admin/root access to the machine they want to recover to.
  • Veeam Data Platform could use a proper High Availability for its own management servers. The current method to replace any of the Veeam Data Platform management servers is to create a new VM/server and restore the backup of the internal database (that you better keep up with). This is probably my biggest concern with the product. We are using the competing 3rd party product to replicate the Veeam Data Platform management servers to our HA and DR sites.

  • Restoring a VM to production
  • options to view/restore application based backups Exchange and SQL
  • ability to turn on a VM from a backup in a test environment to test the backup or troubleshoot without affecting production.
  • the licensing model that requires you to keep paying every year to use the software is my only complaint about the software

  • Reliable backups
  • Immutable backups
  • Various backup destinations
  • Support could stand to improve by a bit. The level of support has seemingly lessened over the years I've been using it.
  • It needs to be able to report backup repository statistics better when XFS and ReFS are in use.
  • It could be a little better about cleaning up after itself (old logs, etc.).

  • Handles backing up and reliable replicating virtualized VMWARE infrastructure
  • Having a reliable working copy to rely on before beginning a maintenance window
  • Integration with HPE Nimble and our other NAS' is pretty solid, though netgear's readynas doesn't seem to be available as one of the supported providers.
  • Better reporting with more options
  • Additional focus on moving to a centralized model instead of requiring each instance to be installed and managed primarily through different backup servers across our locations
  • Pre-run estimations and warnings if there is insufficient space on a given datastore would be very helpful
