For the solutions we reviewed Veeam was the only solution that fit for our Azure environment in which how we wanted backups to run and be stored. Druva has not yet implemented Azure workloads in their solution so that was not an option for us. Veritas when we looked at it was not as simple and straightforward as Veeam and was not right for what we were looking for.

Veeam is #1 Data Replication & Protection Provider
We only have Veeam. I can't compare another product now
April 17, 2023
The hype was true. Should have switched sooner!
Veeam Backup for Azure is the first and only cloud backup product we've used. So far I've seen no reason for us to explore other other options.

Veeam Backup for Azure is must have
Our organization selected Veeam Backup for Azure as it is a cloud-native backup and recovery solution what is designed especially for Microsoft Azure. Another feature of Veeam Backup for Azure is it support hybrid cloud computing environments. Such feature enables for organizations integrate with on-premise infrastructure and other cloud environments.

Excellent tool, agile and easy
We used this tool which was very hard to create jobs, edit jobs, restore objects, also did not have the granularity in own veeam

Great backup solution and easy to use!
Veeam Backup for Azure is a much easier product to setup and configure vs other options we've used in the past, the initial install and setup is very straight forward and the interface to manage on-going backups and settings isn't confusing either.
Easy to use.
Licensing model and pricing.
No learning curve for our users and administrators.
Fit for our Azure workloads (especially SQL Databases)

Fantastic Veeam Product
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.
Veeam came recommended to over other options based on how our resources are set up and used by end-users. Some machines are bare-metal, virtual, and a few resources are mobile. Veeam also supports Windows, Mac OS and Linux. While we are trying to move to more easily supported tech, Veeam was seen to be flexible enough to be a catch-all solution for our current tech-stack. As a small-to-medium business, the per VM/workstation licencing is ideal.

Great Backup Solution
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is an excellent backup solution that provides fast and reliable backups. The software is easy to use and has a great interface. The backup process is quick and efficient, and the software provides excellent support. I would highly recommend Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to anyone looking for a reliable backup solution.

Simple to use and just works
Veeam allows much more flexibility in scheduling backup jobs, It also allows you to copy backups to an on prem server or another cloud if you wanted to, it also allowed you to restore Azure VMs on premise or to another cloud.

Flexible and reliable backup of Azure IaaS
The other products we considered had higher overall costs and appeared to offer less functionality/customisation. We had also experienced reliability issues with one of the other products so did not have confidence it would provide a suitable backup and DR solution.

To Veeam or not to Veeam
Azure Backup services give reliable backups with the bare minimum needed to get the job done.
Veeam Backup takes it several steps further with better management, better features, better reporting and better integration with on-prem backups. It does the same job, it just does it better.

Veeam Simplicity
Compared to others where it has been quite complicated, Veeam has a good GUI which is self explanatory and doesn't require too much experience on the same tool.

Veeam is #1 for all our backup needs
Veeam is much easier to understand and restore times are much faster.
March 28, 2023
Great software, great service
Veeam ticked the boxes for education purposes for us. The price was good too.

Adaptable Backup Software for Azure
Veeam Backup for Azure is very similar to all the above. its just how large a backup set you have, what backup storage systems do you have, backup network requirements, recovery point objectives, ransomware protection level you want, recoverability options, and how much you want to spend on a backup software solution.
March 20, 2023
Great solution for peace of mind
Already had Veeam B&R so perfectly integrates in our current environment. Came out as best during our POC
March 20, 2023
I love Veeam
Veeam is the best tool i have seen because of how well it works natively with azure but also with my on prem datacenter. I think its the best tool in the industry.
March 18, 2023
Just the best backup solution for Azure VMs period...
It is much faster, easier to use, has multiple scale out repositories that are immutable. Azure Backup works but it is slow when processing backups, and restoring backups. It is not flexible compared to Veeam.
March 13, 2023
Does what it says on the tin
As we used already it for on-premises environments and have previous experience, we consider this as the main option for Azure cloud.

Veeam Backup for Azure is Great!
We were already using an older version of Veeam in one data center, so the only other solution we really looked at for the Azure side was the free Microsoft Azure Backup Server and it was way too slow and clunky, as well as crashed constantly so it was definitely not worthy of looking into further.
