Safe Data!
We use it to backup our servers and user data. We have both onsite and cloud storage. It is a critical part of our disaster recovery plan. The ease of use and value for cost has been a driving factor in our long relationship with Veeam. We continue to be customers in the years to come.
- Intuitive interface
- Quality, accurate reporting
- Ease of use
- Solid updates
- Sometimes if there is an error solutions take a fair bit of research.

Veeam Data Platform, Trusted and Reliable!
We use Veeam daily for on and off site backups. It is an easy and efficient way for us to manage our backups both on and off site.
- Scheduled Backups
- Cloud Offloading
- Backup restoration
- There have been numerous releases where restore times were broken with VMWare, it would be nice to not see those in the future.
In our organization, we leverage Veeam Data Platform for both local and offsite backups, as well as for Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS). This robust solution effectively addresses critical business problems related to data protection, recovery, and business continuity.
- Comprehensive Data Protection: Veeam offers a holistic approach to data protection, supporting a wide range of virtual, physical, and cloud-based environments. It's well-suited for organizations with diverse IT infrastructures.
- Replication and Failover: Veeam enables seamless replication of critical data and systems to offsite locations, providing a robust disaster recovery solution. It excels at orchestrating failover processes, ensuring high availability even in the face of system failures.
- Cloud Integration: Veeam seamlessly integrates with various public and private cloud providers, allowing businesses to extend their data protection and disaster recovery strategies to the cloud. This flexibility is especially valuable for scaling resources as needed.
- Update dependencies: Veeam B&R sometimes cannot be updated until our Veeam Cloud Connect provider has updated

Veeam FTW - Inexpensive and built to stay that way
We use Veeam's Backup and Recivery as well as their Orchestrator product and that allows us to do things we did not think were possible in an application that is mainly a backup solution. We can plan and execute full backups and restores of our large environment to local, near-line and cloud without a complex web of other applications. In my experience, Veeam has taken a simple concept and created a simple solution at a reasonable price point. This platform has saved us from self-induced mayhem as well as large scale catastrophes multiple times. We believe it is one of the better solutions out there and simple to work with to boot.
- Simplicity. It is easy to configure, deploy, and manage large scale deployments
- It is a time-saver. By automating some of the restore testing we can verify that backups will work without having to do full restores.
- Reporting is great and allows us to produce documents that satisfy management and auditors alike.
- Veeam One is a great product that can replace other mature monitoring applications and Veeam doesn't seem to promote it as much as they should.
- DR restores from cloud back to on-prem are not as automated as we would like them to be. It is cumbersome to have to bring back VMs from cloud manually.
- Progress bars and time estimators are not accurate. Many times we have processes that sit at 100% for a long time before they actually complete.
We needed an easy backup & replication solution with solid reporting, that scales very well. I've been implementing Veeam for over 8 years now. At our company, we started at the branch office level, and then scaled up globally to our datacenters. We needed a standardized solution that was easy to onboard new sites, new servers, perform BC/DR testing, and cross-train employees on the technology. Coming from a fragmented set of backup solutions, this was an easy win to ensure we had a solid BC/DR plan in place for all of our infrastructure, at all sites.
- DR orchestration
- BC/DR testing
- Great UI/UX
- Reporting
- P2V of workloads to VMware
- Datacenter migrations between vCenter clusters/environments
- Failure events should be more verbose in the summary reports.
- SNMP documentation for monitoring via an NMS (SolarWinds/Nagios) should be more in-depth.

High perf backups
We use Veeam to protect around 100 VM and 50To with data deduplication, hardened repository, GFS archives and tapes.
Our goal was to retain over 6 months of granularity and in a short backup window.
With Veeam we are able to achieve multiples backups every 4 hours at 3x deduplication in less than 10 minutes windows.
- Performance of backups
- Clarity of the UI
- Alerts and reporting
- Tapes management
- deduplication and compression
- Management of agents fleet
- Reporting of agents
- Performance of agents
- More virtualisation plateform support (standard KVM like proxmox or opennebula, xen...)

Secure backups without the headache.
We use Veeam Data Platform to backup all of our internal servers. It makes backup and restoration extremely easy, and it definitely gives us peace of mind. We have never had any issues when doing server restoration. It is a very solid product.
- Ease of use within the platform
- Encryption of backups
- Ease of restoration
- Reliability of backed up data.
We used to use Veeam Data Platform to backup our critical infrastructure like servers and VMs. It is a great tool if you have plenty of on prem storage. I'm sure it has a lot of great features if you either have someone on staff who knows it inside and out but if you work for a smaller company like me and wear many hats in your job it's harder to know if you are using it to its full potential. We ended up switching to an alternative cloud based back up product as it seems to be more intuitive.
- Backups are easy to setup
- Policies are simple to assign
- Recovery is easily accessible
- Lots of tools but not very intuitive to set up
- Couldn't figure out immutable backups
- Updating to newer version is kind of a chore

Veeam Data Platform Backups
We use Veeam Data Platform to backup all of our different servers. This allows us to ensure we have an easy to restore backup in case we get infected with any viruses or have missing data.
- Instant restore
- alerting
- faster support
We use Veeam Data Platform to automate our server backups and replication. It allows us to set all of this up, including failover plans, and we don't have to touch it again unless a server needs to failover to our DR site, or we need to restore it from a backup.
- Server backups
- Server replication
- Built in failover plans
- The user interface
- Quicker support on issue tickets
- More detailed error codes for some of the generic errors

Veeam Data Platform for me has been awesome on multiple levels!
I use Veeam Data Platform to backup multiple VMs on multiple servers to a NAS and then out to a cloud repository for another level of protection. Veeam Data Platform is very easy to setup and to administer. They also have very good technical support. To say the least, I am very happy with Veeam Data Platform. It would have been nice if I had found them (or they found me) years ago but I am glad we are partnered now.
- Backs up VMs
- Moves backed up VMs from NAS to cloud backup partner
- Monitoring / reporting of successes and failures of all actions
- Sometimes the error messages are a bit ambiguous requiring tech support to clarify.
- Not every scheduled backup works 100%. That said, I let it roll as the following one typically will.

The best backup and replication solution for enterprise
Veeam Data Platform is straightforward and works. It easily backs up my environment and is flexible in what infrastructure it will apply to.
- Easy guest file restoration
- Plenty of support for all scenarios
- Deep compatibilty
- Feature tour at update would be nice
Veeam Backup & Replication is in use at the 3 schools I support to backup the Hyper-V servers on a rolling basis. The ability to specify multiple backup targets, both local rotating USB hard drives and to a network attached storage device (NAS) gives us a sense of trust and reliability in the backup process. Having daily emails notifying of backup success/failure keeps me on top of everything even when i'm not on-site. I have had to use the recovery process several times after a failed Windows Update (print nightmare anyone?) or when there is an accidentally deleted employee/student files. The recovery process is very pain free and easy to use whether you are recoving a single file or an entire Virtual Machine. I have no bad things to say about the product, it's rock solid and the community edition is a free offering. If I was in a large enterprise with many servers, I would rollout the same backup solution without a second thought.
- Rotating USB Hard Drive Backups
- Backups to network storage
- Ease of recovery
- Snapshots in Hyper-V for instant recovery
- Replication of VMs between physical servers
- None

A time saving bliss.
I use it as backup and recovery application. We have also used it as a tool to replicate any additional drives being added to the actual server as a testing mechanism. As an accounting firm, we are a potential target for ransomware attacks and Veeam ensures us a reliable backup.
- Quick backups
- Accurate recovery
- Speedy recovery
- Virtual data testing
- Speed of image taking could use improvement.
- The amount of stress put onto the server when taking snapshots is noticeable at times.
- Enabling the creation of multiple snapshots at one time.

VEEAM Backup & Replication for the Win
We use it for our primary backups and it does a great job. While it isn't perfect, nothing is, it really is the best on the market and makes setting up an intricate backup system to meet the needs of our business easy. We have it performing daily backups to 2 different NAS servers as well as a USB rotation. It then will copy this data to an Archive NAS for long term retention. Lastly it replicates our VMWare VSphere server to our data centre for disaster recovery situations.
The cost is well worth the services it provides.
The cost is well worth the services it provides.
- Replication of VMs to secondary locations
- Backup jobs to different locations
- Instant restores to test backup integrity
- User interface could use a refresh
- More detailed errors for failed jobs would be useful. instead of having to find and open log file.
- Grand Father system could have more granularity and options.
