About 70 servers when you combine physical and virtual. It's what we expected. We still back up our test servers with Microsoft DPM to save money.

Veeam Data Platform works better than DPM.
Verified User

Non-profit Organization Management Company, 201-500 employees
I want to rely on my backup solution and that was worth paying for. What caused us to switch to Veeam Data Platform was that Microsoft DPM kept breaking and even had to be reinstalled.

Good Product at a Great Price

Machinery Company, 51-200 employees
Our previous backup appliance had a HUGE learning curve, a fair bit of manual processing, and was very expensive to maintain. The old appliance/software was so bad that we eventually stopped using it completely. We swapped to Veeam Data Platform to replace it for ease of use, more automatic processing and a more economical option.

Before VEEAM, we had quest rapid recovery and it wasn't all that great. It had issues backing up and restoring sql databases and very slow to restore servers in general.

Telecommunications Company, 51-200 employees
We were bare metal until around 2013, backups and restoes to servers/services were painful and slow. We tried other virtualization backup software and weren't really happy. We made the swap to Veeam due to a suggestion from a friendly customer and haven't looked back since. Veeam has been able to meet and exceed all our backup expectations/needs.

Veeam Data Platform was already in place when I came to work here. I had to learn to use it, which was not too steep a learning curve.

Veeam Data Platform Review
Verified User
Administrator in Information Technology
Mental Health Care Company, 201-500 employees
We implemented Veeam Data Platform when moving to a new hyperconverged virtualization platform as the cost could be rolled in to the whole project budget. One main difference up front was the cost as our previous backup solution was free, open-source software. However, there was significant value to be had with ease of operation and the ability to do immutable backups that made the cost worth it.

The best backup solution !
Veeam Data Platform is the most widely used solution in the world. I trust other IT managers. its ease of use is the product's strength.automated restore tests verify that backups are functional, which reassures general management and insurers.

Printing Company, 51-200 employees
Veeam was included in our initial server package for the last server we purchased. We purchased a new license along with a server upgrade we did recently, as the old version wasn't compatible with Hyper-V.

Discovery of Veeam community edition.
The community edition is a good start to begin and see what veeam can do for you.
The save system is the same that others backup software (except the worload system...) so it is more the user interface witch will give you problem than fonctionality. You need to learn a little to find what you want.
The huge documentation is here to help you!

Veeam Backup & Replication - A review from an Education perspective
Verified User

Education Management Company, 51-200 employees
Veeam Backup & Replication was brought into my place of work when I started, so I've always had it whilst I have been here, but I definitely wouldn't want to be without it!
I know there are a lot of other competitors for backup & replication, but Veeam is the one we always come back to & renew with, year after year.

our old solution took about half a day to backup. as we are growing this quickly became an issue. we upgrade our storage and implemented veeam and now most workloads are completed within a couple of hours. other solutions have not been this quick and reliable and would choose veeam again anytime

We decided to test this new software after a couple of failed recovery episodes with our previous software. When we tried it and saw how it worked, we decided to implement it and offer it to our clients.

Can you afford not to use Veeam?
Verified User
Manager in Information Technology
Financial Services Company, 51-200 employees
Failure to have a good, trusted system backup was the triggering point for purchasing and integrating Veeam. Our other solution was mediocre and would sometimes prove unusable without us knowing it until we needed it. We needed something that we could trust would do exactly what it said it would do and alert us when backups weren't successful and needed attention.

Veeam Backup: best for virtual infrastructure.
The old backup application (Backup Exec) was really bad at backing up the virtual environment at the time we started using VMware, so we had to change our backup infrastructure anyway.

Veeam Data Platform - Perfect for Networks of All Sizes

Telecommunications Company, 11-50 employees
Prior to using Veeam Data Platform we were still using and old tape back up system, I know.....quite embarrassing! Moving to Veeam Data Platform was a huge leap forward for us, night and day difference. Needless to say, the most basic capabilities of Veeam Data Platform blew away anything we were doing with the old tapes.

Our previous backup platform ceased to function at some point before I was hired, so we had nothing protecting physical systems in our environment. We had someone delete a handful of files from that server that were completely unrecoverable as a result, plus that same server was starting to have hard drive issues.
After configuring Veeam Data Platform in the environment, I've repeatedly proved its necessity through repeated file restores and (so far) one full disk restore for a critical user after a hardware failure.

Honest review of our transition to Veeam Data Platform
Verified User
Employee in Information Technology
Higher Education Company, 5001-10,000 employees
- Our old backup solution was a file level recovery solution only. With no way of recovering entire VMs without manually reinstalling the OS with the same name as the destroyed VM, reinstalling the applications, then using the FLR to overwrite the configs. This was a disaster waiting to happen on its own. We are now able to recover full VMs within minutes, very similar to recovering a VM snapshot, but we don't have to keep the snapshot around and destroy the VM's performance.
- We are now able to use Veeam Data Platform to do a full backup copy to our offiste DR location and have tested recovering there from this backup copy.
- The ease of adding VMs to and from a backup job's schedule is as easy as adding a tag to the VM. No need to manually adding them one by one and keeping up with them manually.
- Our previous product had no plausible way of ever recovering from a ransomware attack. Veeam Data Platform is working with every update they do to help find and prevent ransomware attacks early.

Banking Company, 51-200 employees
We utilized a different backup product before that had poor reliability and was difficult to use. We demoed Veeam as we were investigating alternatives to the previous product and we quickly came to like how easy it was to use and to setup. We were able to stand up and test the backup process within the same day and we quickly decided that Veeam was the product that would best suit our needs.

Insurance Company, 11-50 employees
Our old backup solution could not handle our evolving infrastructure and I needed to either upgrade that solution or look for another one. I the process of looking at other solutions we discovered that Veeam could do what we needed and more. I have no regrets in switching our backup solution to Veeam.

Medical Practice Company, 51-200 employees
We have had other backup solutions in the past. They were unreliable and slow at best. Once we finally went from physical to virtual, I knew that I wanted to get things going with Veeam Backup and Recovery. I had always heard good things, and word of mouth ended up being accurate to say the least.

Other backup solutions were not proving sufficient Previous ones had capability to do some of what was required, but not all. Additionally, they were simply difficult to implement and use. Ease of use is paramount for disaster recovery efforts.
