Veeam for AWS is great if you need complete control in a multi-account environment. It leverages the automation part with operations and is extremely open to other technologies through its API REST integration HTTP method. This product focuses on the leading technologies used in the enterprise industry market. I think Veeam is less appropriate if you think of provisioning your workloads on a complete serverless cloud solution.

I like the idea of using this product for backups and cold storage. This allows for long retention times and a very low cost. The ability to quickly restore and the efficiency of all the products involved. I haven't come across scenarios where it isn't appropriate. I don't have a lot of experience so for me, it works well in my cases.

doing backups and restores in AWS.
Its great for cloning virtual machines into a new environment. It is also great for doing backups of our EC2s and VMs in AWS.
One thing I wish is there was a direct-to-cloud backup. where you didn't have to first back it up onsite. If you dont have the storage on site for all the backups you want, you could run into an issue.

This is super simple to install and use. Our database had been using a really outdated and slower backup process and this just streamlined everything. We have employees who still work remotely and this program has made their work and backup needs even easier with no issues! It's also quicker than the last backup software we had been using.

Veeam works well for our small to mid-sized environment. Backups and replication are quick, and it's easy to spin up a cloud VM from backup with minimal interaction. It would be nice to have some kind of templating for restoring to cloud though to minimize that process further.

We use it for our daily file backups, and after a ransomware attack, thanks to the backups made with this product, we were able to limit the damage and restart after a few hours losing only the changes that occurred on the last day.

We have a mix of on-prem and cloud hosted solutions. Veaam works well enough in both instances, but does have some administration overhead to start with. Once the solution is in place it works as described. As long as you understand your environment and have it configured properly, everything should work as expected.

Veeam Backup for AWS is well suited for small or large businesses. It's critical to meeting the rule of 3 to mitigate risk and protect the core of any business. It streamlines off-premises backups to one or many datacenters in different geo locations which is imminent when trying to protect your business.

Veeam Backup for AWS works best on the AWS environment. However, it falls short on other cloud infrastructures as well as on hybrid or multi-cloud environments. So it is highly imperative to ascertain the needs of your clients keeping in mind the criticality of the workloads, the data transmission, the network, security, and the infrastructure before deciding on which backup to suggest.

If you're looking for a simple to setup and use software package then look no further. Veeam has an easy to use interface that quickly allows you to setup your backup instances and allows for offsite storage. When looking for ways to backup AWS data, the simplified setup process allows anyone to create instances quickly to backup all your volumes and clusters.

If a company is too small and not complicated with data storage please do not move to backup AWS. If the company thinks about data storage is severity high please use Veeam Backup for AWS. I recommended Veeam as the best.

the application is fully automated in Amazon AWS and very cost effective to consumers. The product is very secure and easy to use. I remmeber we lost some data on an S2 container and were easily and effectively able to restore that data with minimum downtime. Support walked us through the process and we were able to recover the data right away.
