Veeam has been a game-changer for our organization. Since the first day of implementation till now, we have not had any issues with it. It works better than any backup software that we have used in my 25 years in IT. We do not have to worry about failed or missed backups as it just consistently works. It is also so much faster than any other backup software we have used and is very user-friendly. We rarely have to call support but when we have, the support has been top-notch. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
- It is very reliable.
- It is fast.
- It is easy to use.
- Compared to other backup software, I do not see any room for improvement.

- Create image backups of Postgre SQL
- Able to upgrade full functions using the AWS plug-in package.
- Can use a single console to managed data protection and recovery.
- Be able to recover data quicker that was accidentally deleted.
- Continue to Improve data protection when there is a ransomware attack.

- setting up a S3 vault, at first I selected the wrong option until i found the correct menu, it was a lil confusing for me. I wasnt sure the correct Cloud storage option to choose. but after i got it wrong the first time I was able to find it the second guess.

Back the truck up
We use it to back up all of our VMware servers. We have 20 servers on two host. This ensures we do not lose any vital information for our corporation.
- Easy to configure
- Reliable
- Easy to restore/recover
- The version I use doesn't allow me to select just one server from host. I have to backup all of them.

Great Product that provides an excellent DR Solution
Gives us the peace of mind that we have a secondary backup option with AWS and increase reliability. Redundancy was key in selecting this option as a solution.
- Restoration was an easy
- Recovery time is commuted
- Meeting cybersecurity guidelines with immutability was a plus
- Some more training for users
We backup our VMware environment to on-prem storage and Veeam replicates those jobs to the cloud. If our on-prem environment is inaccesible, we can turn up cloud versions from backups already online.
- Easy backup selection/configuration
- Simple cloud replication option
- Great price
- Preferred the per-core licensing

Powerful solution that meets IT backup needs.
Veritas backup software is a friendly user backup software which is safe and secure by all means and well protected with all features including cloud storage protection as well. The best GUI which i have ever seen compared to other complex software and with a very good track record. The ease of use for any simple new user with very minimal clicks to enable, schedule or restore backups is the core of this application.
- restore to an cloud account
- backed up & restored a server on Hyper-V
- supports deduplication of data
- My only complaint would be when major changes are made to new versions.

Simple and effective solution
Veaam backup makes it easy to back up all of our servers and instances in AWS. The process is straightforward and simple enough to administer, and leaves very little room for error. The process of setting it up is straightforward, and once set, it can be trusted to just work.Decent, if somewhat pricey option.
- Easy to configure
- Simple to use
- Works well once configured properly
- There is a lot of competition in this space, so cost needs to be justified

Veeam Backup for AWS is simply ideal.
We use Veeam Backup for AWS for both physical
workstations and virtualized server backups. We have three physical
servers, and a couple of dozen workstations, and run three virtualized servers.
Backup and recovery are critical to our business, as it is for any business
running a database or having other critical data. Veaam Backup helps us
minimize our downtime as backup and restore operations run smoothly and
reliably when needed. With Veeam, any time we need to restore data it is
essentially available at our fingertips, so with a moment's notice we can
restore things at a file level, or even if there were a disaster scenario or if
we were the victims of a crypto lock or similar attack, Veeam Backup for AWS
will be there to get us back up and running in no time. It is a truly indispensable
product for our business. I would highly recommend Veeam Backup for AWS to anyone that is serious about data integrity and disaster recovery.
- Veeam is great for full volume or even just individual file restores.
- Veeam works perfectly in the background without using too many resources.
- Veeam support is great if you ever have issues.
- I have no suggestions for improvements.

Adopting for a stable backup and DR strategy
We currently use Veeam Backup for AWS to backup our EC2s and as an integral part of meeting our SLAs as a fall back mechanism in the event of any failures or anomalies.
- It helps us for point-in-time recovery of an EC2
- It helps us to recover the databases both as to preserve before the deployments
- It helps us as storing base line images prior to major releases or system upgrades
- Difficult to implement data deduplication
- Lack of good support for cloning of tasks
- Difficult to troubleshoot backup errors
Backing up and recovering VMs, Veeam Backup & Replication to protect and restore individual files and applications for environments
- Backup
- Restore
- Recovery verification
- When creating a backup job with Veeam, you can create a daily backup, but it doesn't do it within that job. It does not give you the ability to also set the terms for monthly and/or weekly backups. It has to be a separate job.
- The licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better.
- CDP also requires a lot of development, because there are a lot of restrictions now for CDP. There is a chance to improve CDP and make it much easier for the customers

DR and Backup for AWS with added benefits!
We had the need to ensure that our production ERP system, hosted in AWS, had a resilient DR solution in the event that the region we hosted it in was to become unavailable.

It also helps migrate some infrequently used workloads to our on-premise data center in order to reduce AWS compute and storage charges.
- Cross account backup and replication
- Disaster recovery of AWS workloads
- Makes failover of production resources simple
- Could provide a little more automation of failback
- Automating VSS support on instances

VEEAM for easily backing up AWS platform.
We were/are using VEEAM for our onsite backups of servers so when we started using AWS we wanted a way to back that up as well. Looking at different options we found VEEAM had that capability and since we had the familiarity already we decided that was the best solution. The product addresses backs up company data that we don't want to lose, and offers easy restores should we need them. Currently, we only have a handful of AWS devices running but will be expanding in the future so this solution will be perfect to fit those needs as well.
- Easily integrated into our current VEEAM backup instance.
- Fast recovery of data from backups when needed.
- Fast backups as well it doesn't interfere with our onsite backups.
- Honestly, we haven't had any issues, setup was easy and backups run as expected.
