Reviews
(51-75 of 372)Veeam Data Platform is great if you don't need a fully managed solution
- Replication to multiple cloud storage providers
- Easy to setup new backups
- Instant recovery to VMWare is super fast
- You still have to provide your own storage for on prem and cloud backups
- No ability to have automated spin up and verification of backups
- Not enough backup frequency options
For companies that want more automated testing of backups, things like spinning up backups of servers daily to verify functionality, it's not great, and I'd look at competitors first. In addition, if you want a fully managed backup solution that includes storage and management, this isn't really the product for you.
Veeam Data Platform for micro-cap with high compliance burden
- Reliable
- Intuitive/discoverable without extensive lab testing
- Most configuration combinations WORK
- Give me bootable media for building immutable storage from scratch
- Linux backup proxy VM's, keep making these easier and better
- Make it all linux based including management
Licensing for NAS leaves much to be desired. Backup licensing should be cheaper per TB than putting it in the cloud. . .
Lightweight usage is cost prohibitive.
- Restore Files
- Restore entire virtual machines
- Backup Copy to cloud providers
- When jobs fail sometimes the errors can be very cryptic
- Upgrading to new versions can be a headache
- Requires a cluster of servers
Veeam is a fantastic backup solution that is worth its cost.
- Always working
- Ease of restoring a backup to a virtual host
- Easy to restore a backup to a physical host
- Support
- end user training
- working with customers to know how to better utilize their software
It is expensive, so for anything that is not critical, you may want to consider a cheaper option.
Veeam Data Platform works
- Keeps accurate backup chains
- Does restores quickly
- Easy to update and manage
- In my experience, when backup chains have issues Veeam Data Platform support is mostly useless. Be prepared to rebuild your backup environment.
Best backup solution out there
- Ease of use
- Data integrity
- Versitlity
- Licensing model could be easier to understand
- Cost
Veeam Data Platform - Reliable and Easy to use
- Reliable
- Simple setup
- Affordable
- Complex Licensing Models
In our industry where downtime is extremely costly, Veeam Data Platform's Instant VM Recovery can be a lifesaver, allowing for minimal operational interruptions.
Veeam Data Platform rocks!
- Backup
- SureBackup
- Instant Recovery
- Integration from Veeam Data Platform with Office 365
Hassle free backup solution for medium size business
- Product functionality and performance
- I don't know.
Veaam B&R is a valuable tool for disaster recovery.
- Backup and restore files and data.
- Backup VMs
- Backup physical workstations and servers
- Lack of integration
Why VEEAM keeps business running
- Ransomware Warranty
- Best practice analyzer
- Direct backup to Object Storage
- Data freedom
- Recovery orchestration
- Solution admin scheduling scripts need improvement, import and export processes for information and policies could be better
- Interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as they are using agent oriented interface
- A complete Linux version instead of relying on Microsoft for management
Veeam Data Platform makes our IT backups a breaze
- Ease of use to create backup scheduling
- Ease of use to restore data on the fly when needed
- Immutable storage of data to protect against ransomware
- Built-in functionality to backup cloud resources like 365
- Automatic restore testing for audits
- Backup sets directly to cloud resources like AWS S3 buckets
Perfect immutable backup solution for a small school
- Data backup time is fast - much faster than Windows Server Backup
- Encryption of data
- Multiple backup storage devices/cloud area types
- Alerts/reports are clear and simple
- Setting up for the first time will take time - possibly more setup wizards for jobswould help
If my school was to expand in the future, I would purchase the licensed version as the community edition would not allow enough backup jobs to complete. Additionally, the paid for version does include more enterprise features and would be more appropriate for a larger organisation.
Veeam Data Platform Great Backup & DR Software
- successfull Scheduled daily backups
- restores individual files of folders
- can restore entire Virtual Machine
- I think the "Lab" interface is a little confusing when you want to test your backups, but that's the only negative thing I've encountered
- The user interface could use some updating
- Cost, can be more affordable
Veeam Data Platform Critical Service to have for enterprise companies
- Instant Recovery
- Recovering Lost or mistakenly deleted data
- Offsite Replication
- DUO Integration
In addition they have integration with cloud if you want to replicate to offsite cloud hosted data store.
Great performance, but corporate greed
- Application level backup and restore
- File level backup and restore
- Efficient and intelligent cataloging
- Licensing - In my experience, poor structure, unfair application of instances, and impossible to calculate what is needed
- CIFS backup from snapshots
- Greed - In my opinion, recent decisions have left customers alienated and angry
Streamlined data protection that is simple to use
- Effortless Backup: Veeam simplifies VMware vSphere backups with automated scheduling, ensuring data protection without administrative headaches.
- Instant Recovery: With Veeam, we achieve near-instant recovery of VMs, reducing downtime and minimizing business disruption during system failures.
- Data Replication: Veeam's efficient data replication safeguards data across multiple locations, enhancing disaster recovery readiness and data availability.
- Enhanced AI Integration: Integrate advanced AI for proactive anomaly detection and automated remediation to further optimize data protection and recovery processes.
- Expanded Cloud Integration: Strengthen cloud support for more providers, facilitating seamless hybrid cloud deployments and increasing scalability options.
- Unified Dashboard: Develop a consolidated dashboard for easier management of Veeam products, simplifying the user experience and streamlining operations.
However, for small-scale operations with limited virtualization or simpler data needs, Veeam's comprehensive feature set may be overkill, potentially making it less cost-effective in such cases.
3 Years on Veeam and no end in sight.
- Backing up various workloads.
- Backup copies.
- VM replication.
- File-Level or Machine Level restores.
- Instant-restore.
- NA
Veeam is Awesome - Has helped us clean up backups for our entire org
- Automates Backups
- Provides visibility to backup health and storage appliance space
- Writes data to tape for offsite storage
- UI changes frequently...sometimes hard to find where features have moved
- Didn't eject tape after writing to tape library...this has now been fixed
Veeam Backup and Replication Delivers on it's promises
- Hand's free reliable backups of our VM's.
- Easy VM recovery
- Instant VM recovery
- can't think of any for our environment
Veeam Data Platform - I wouldn't trust my data with anyone else.
- Full machine restore from server
- Guest file restoration
- Ease of installation on the guest machine
- Ease of connecting the guest machine to the server
- The Backup and Replication program is a little slow to open on my server
Created reliable backup by bring old hosts back up.
- Backup VM.
- Snapshot VM.
- Replicate continuously to off-site backup.
- The UI could be a bit better.
- The terminology used in the interface could be cleaned up or easier to use.
- The continuous backup data could be better integrated into UI visibility.
- Explanations for errors and failures would sure be nice... "Host discovery failed." What host? What failed? Everything looks fine.
When your back is up against the wall and you have to restore...
- Worry free VM backups (full and synthetic)
- Scheduled replication of VM's for BCP purposes
- Agent based backup of files and SQL data
- Better management of adhoc VeeamZip backups would be helpful but its already pretty good
- Application Interface could use a more modern facelift
Success with Veeam Data Platform
Veeam Data Backup & Recovery software solutions is central to our data backup and recovery strategy. We use it to create regular backups of our critical data across various platforms, ensuring that we can swiftly recover in cases of data loss, hardware failures, or disasters.
- Veeam Data Platform is its user-friendly and intuitive interface.
- Exceptionally robust in safeguarding our critical data.
- Veeam's help and support services have exceeded our expectations.
- Changes have been made to the licensing model, and it has not always been clear to us how these changes affect our usage and costs. It would be beneficial if Veeam could provide more detailed and user-friendly information about licensing terms, pricing structures, and any modifications to ensure that users have a clear understanding of what is required and what they are entitled to. Improved transparency in this regard would help us effectively plan and budget for our data management needs and reduce any potential confusion or uncertainty surrounding licensing.
When it comes to data recovery tasks handled by IT teams, Veeam Data Platform proves highly effective. IT administrators can easily perform data restores, ensuring minimal downtime and quick resolution of data-related issues. But there are some challenges when it comes to delegating restore tasks to helpdesk personnel or non-technical users. The administrative interface could benefit from improved features for delegation and role-based access control to streamline this process. This limitation can make it less suitable for organizations that rely heavily on helpdesk teams for routine data recovery tasks.
