Veeam Data Platform is best suited in smaller VMware environments with a handful of VMs. It is easy to setup and manage once in place and can do an excellent job of replicating VMs over low bandwidth, high latency WAN circuits. It is also excellent in replicating backups into the cloud. It can become more difficult in large data centers due to the number of proxies.

For a modern infrastructure, I can't think of any situation where Veeam isn't suited. My only issues are with legacy infrastructure (i.e. industrial machinery with Windows XP) cannot be backed up as the Veeam Agent only supports Windows 7 and higher. I wish there was an API for to develop our own agent to upload to Veeam for these legacy infrastructures.

Our System Administrator has had minimal issues when setting up and troubleshooting the project. He also is able to test backups manually without issue. It also fits into our budget nicely but I do wonder what options we are missing. We do not have the immutable back up storage option which may be our next step to improve our disaster recovery plan.

Suited for
- Backing up VMWare Environments to a Cloud Provider
- Replicating to a Air-Gapped Provider
- Running the Product on a Physical Server to backup VM Environment
Not Appropriate
- Running the product inside a VM Server that runs a risk of failing and losing your restore ability until it is re-installed.

Compared to our last backup solution, I would highly recommend Veeam. We used Symantec previously for our backups and it was cumbersome and lacked the necessary features we needed. When we demoed Veeam, we knew right away it was going to be far and away a better product that would suit our needs.

For backup and restoration of data it works great in most circumstances. When having to migrate data or move from one platform to another, it could be easier. Also having more integration with other products would be greatly beneficial. Proxmox being one of them, as this is becoming used more and more. I'm not sure if containers can be migrated or backed up, so if they can't, I see that being very useful.

Veeam Data Platform is great for any business case where you need reliable software to manage your backup infrastructure, particularly when you have multiple platforms to back and want to replicate for immutability. Working in the education sector where budgets are often tight. Veeam Data Platform provides affordable solutions so that anyone can ensure they have a quality backup process.

Veeam is very much focused on virtual environments -- if you have a lot of physical systems, although they are supported, that is not Veeam's primary focus it would appear. The sandbox recovery for in-place DR testing is fantastic, and really makes our annual DR test and recovery of certain systems a snap. As you scale up, Veeam probably isn't a solution for really large environments, but for small to mid-size companies the price point and value is good.

Supports encryption, integrates with VMWare/Vcenter. Ideal for VMware shops.
Veeam supports many well known hardware vendors for SAN and tape backup.
Offsite replication has been a challenge to implement and we are considering alternate solutions.
While relatively costly we feel that safeguarding data availability it is worth the expense.

If you need a clean, reliable backup solution, Veeam is the answer. Veeam allows for a lot of customization to tailor it to your needs. If you need to backup and restore at the system file level or need a SQL database backup solution, this is it. If you're looking for a modern looking application with an easy button, then this might not be for you.

I would likely recommend Veeam in any enterprise production environment, especially if using VMware. I wouldn't recommend it for file backups for a large amount of files. In my opinion, the amount of instances it takes to backup files is uneconomical

As I have already stated, we use it primarily for back up and recovery of data. It does a well enough job of that. I have not had any issues with the service, aside from having to clear jobs it is working on and restarting the server to be able to recover data.

Veeam Backup and Replication is well suited for both on-premises and cloud-based workloads. Our deployment covers workloads from within VMware, Azure, and AWS. Built-in capabilities for mounting cloud-based storage are a great feature. For our deployment, we have not had any issues where Veeam Backup and Replication is not the right fit.

If you use a lot of virtual machines. Especially if the Hypervisor is supported by Veeam Data Platform. It makes keeping your backups secure and stable and is really easy to use. Also delegating differnet workloads to your collegues is really easy. The Licensing of the product is also very easy to understand.

We use Veeam to backup our servers both to a local network attached storage and to a offsite network attached storage. In addition to the use for backup occasionally we use Veeam to aid in migrating virtual machines from one VMWare server array at one location to another VMWare array at another location.
