Number one backup solution for any organization!
- Veeam stands out among backup solutions because of its ability to work with almost any storage type. For example, only a small portion of backup solutions will support catalyst stores, Veeam does.
- Veeam is extremely flexible when it comes to setting it up. I had a network recently that limited ethernet connectivity between the Veeam VM and the backup repository and Veeam handled it easily.
- Day-to-day use of Veeam is very simple. It is easy to train our technicians to use it proficiently in a very short amount of time.
- Our Veeam VMs don't have issues very often, but the one or two times I have called for support, they answered right away, and the technicians assisting us were knowledgeable about their products.
- I would like to see a setting to limit the bandwidth to a maximum amount for backups.

Why I use Veeam.
Verified User
Administrator in Information Technology
Higher Education Company, 5001-10,000 employees
- Large volume backups.
- VM backups.
- Repository data compression.
- Repository management, allow administrators to rank the repository order to use.
- Repository management, based on prior backup jobs or a scan, reserves space on a repository. That way the space is low and another job starts, it will not cause the other job to run out of space.
- Licensing, seems like some of our VM are counted twice.
