Reviews and Ratings

Reviews
(1-25 of 39)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
- Very easy interface
- very fast in completing backups
- Fast implementation and setup
- almost self explanatory when setting up
- the only thing I wish that Veeam would do is the ability to combine all services in one platform. We have another backup solution we use for on prem backups to an offline cloud backup source. I wish Veeam had a solution like this, they are implementing Azure resources for backups currently and store in AWS so there is a separation of where data is stored and is offline with ransomware protection. Maybe one day.

Flexible and reliable backup of Azure IaaS
- Once set-up there isn't much ongoing configuration required
- Cost estimates that update as the backup options are changed
- Ability to restore VHDs to allow recovery scenarios outside of Azure
- Documentation around service account permissions was a little sparse when we implemented it
- It's sometimes hard to get the reason behind a (rare) job failure without going into logs
- The UI around snapshots and backups could do with some clarity around the restore points that will be available

To Veeam or not to Veeam
- It's very reliable, once its setup it continues to run without issue.
- It's relatively easy to setup, and doesn't need constant tweaking.
- I can use it on all my workloads, I'm not limited to just VMs.
- It's still very clunky compared to the older on-prem solution which was very slick.
- You have to pay for the service and also the storage of the backups, meaning it's not so easy to calculate costs.
- It's very easy to overspec your backups by having them too often or keeping them for too long meaning you and run into high storage costs.
