My user experience with Veeam Backup.

Rating: 9 out of 10

January 2, 2026

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

For customers who are not yet familiar with Veeam Backup & Replication, we encourage them to install and use the free version, learn about it, and even dislike it. We then encourage them to purchase a license. We are also working on virtual storage plans to protect them against Veeam issues. We educate our customers about using local backup plans, remote location backups, and cloud backups. We emphasize the importance of cloud backup at every opportunity.

Pros

Backup
Recovery
Replication
Support
Test Lab.

Cons

Slow installation. It would like to install faster
I wish there were recovery solutions for broken chain structures
There could be support for more than 10 virtual machines in the free version. Some users may need it.
Sometimes SQL vb DB errors

Likelihood to Recommend

Thanks to the fast restore feature, we can instantly bring the servers up and running in emergencies. This gives us a great advantage and saves us time until we solve the root cause of the problem. It reduces the workload and pressure on us, allowing us to focus on the problem faster. Furthermore, by quickly creating backups before a critical operation, we can prevent future problems. These features alone are what keep us hooked.

we also use it as a ransome ware protection

Pros

Faster and flexible recovery option
secure backup repository features is a best features
Sure backup faetures that ensures automatic testing.

Cons

Data backup sometimes take high CPU usage with large VM hat could be more adpative.
A centralised auto update function could help us to make endpoint easier

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited in case of vmware and hyperV,it work great for hybrid infrastructures which helps ensuring data backup on premises a well on cloud.

It may be well suited for those organistaion who has small infrastructure.that relies basically on on premises environment.In this environment integration could be limited.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In conjunction with automation, it is used to manage backup servers and continuously update contingency plans in the event of a significant network disaster, when recovery is necessary. The platform addresses the scalability issue we've had in the past. Using automation, routine tasks and workflows are completed faster to enhance operational efficiency. The scope encompasses personnel data and specific financial data.

Pros

Strong customer support and helpful user community.
Scalability
Extensive features for flexibility.
Friendly user interface.

Cons

Learning curve can be a challenge.
Cost for smaller scopes a bit high.
Some features paid for, not used.

Likelihood to Recommend

Smaller scopes for more specialized tasks and solutions should be extensively considered to see if a more cost-effective solution is available. We overhauled a division, and the platform allowed for a seamless transition for a large number of employees. A large amount of data protection needs across a wide range of platforms and environments were addressed and rectified.

Veeam Provides Us Critical Backup Software.

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

June 23, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Provides daily backups of our entire VMware environment. Also, do hourly transaction log backups of our critical databases. Provides automated management of on-site and off-site backups for reliability and disaster recovery.

Pros

Integrates smoothly with our off-site data store.
Reliable data backup and restore.
Ease of management.
Excellent notification levels for critical and non-critical failures in the backups.

Cons

A clearer description of the backup infrastructure.
Easier reporting on which backup job is backing up which server.
Prevent the creation of multiple backup repositories to a single destination.

Likelihood to Recommend

Fantastic speed for backing up data to our protected storage. Being able to use the same job for both on-site and off-site storage ensures that we consistently achieve the correct backup levels for our data. Veeam is excellent for data replication for an off-site disaster recovery site. Keeping the data synced between the sites with minimal effort. Veeam struggles with some vendors doing backups of live databases. This may be a problem with the vendor versus Veeam.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilize Veeam Backup & Replication for all our business-critical backup requirements. The backups are quick and easy to restore, and I have trained new team members on restoration in just a few minutes.

Pros

SQL Database backups.
Backup Copies.
Data replication to a secondary data center.

Cons

The data access pause when backing up an SQL database could be improved.
Better integration to allow VMware data sources to replicate to Azure and not just copy.
Integrated off-site immutable backups.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is ideal for a dual data center environment, allowing for replication. Replication to Azure is an issue.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Veeam is great! It's super easy to configure backups, and even easier to restore files or entire vm's when there's an issue. It saves a significant amount of time that was previously spent managing backups and handling restores, which can now be allocated to other tasks. I am a fan, and will continue to use Veeam in the future.

Pros

Backups
Full machine restore.
Individual file restores.

Cons

Too many alerts.
The workflow could be simplified.
It could use an updated look.

Likelihood to Recommend

When a user has deleted something from a shared drive, there is no easy way to recover it. There is no recycle bin for shared drives, so anything deleted is permanently gone. Without Veeam, it would be a lengthy process involving multiple third-party software applications to attempt file restoration. With Veeam, it is fast and easy.

OK product but has flaws.

Rating: 3 out of 10

June 23, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In my opinion and experience, the setup is very confusing. There are too many steps, locations, etc., to enter simple data such as an Azure storage account. Backup from one storage account to another is not supported. Entra ID backup does not restore the Object ID, leaving orphaned Object IDs when someone is assigned permissions to an object in Azure. Veeam performs backups, but it isn't very clear to set up and requires two virtual machines to back up Azure, versus having an online cloud platform.

Pros

Backup once setup is completed.

Cons

Provide a cloud option for cloud only organizations.
Backup all metadata with Entra ID so object ID can be restored.
Make setup and maintenance less confusing.

Likelihood to Recommend

Again, the setup is less than easy to do. There are too many areas where items need to be created or maintained. It's an issue for people who don't use Veeam on a daily basis.

Best Backup Solution for Your Buck

Rating: 10 out of 10

June 23, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Veeam Data Platform is used to back up our in-office servers, including AD, Security Camera Storage, and internal application servers. Prior to Veeam Data Platform, we had no method of backing up these servers. By utilizing Veeam Data Platform, we can be assured that we have adequate backups of vital servers that help our company run day-to-day.

Pros

Manage number of backups (number of fulls vs. incremental)
Easy to deploy
Easy to maintain

Likelihood to Recommend

I've not seen any scenarios where Veeam Data Platform would be less appropriate. For what we use Veeam Data Platform for, I am quite happy with the effort of maintenance needed (extremely low), ease of setup (extremely easy to do), and overall have had a very positive experience. Setting up Hyper-V backups was extremely simple (basically point and click) and we've not had any issues with the backups since starting.

How we use Veeam Data Platform in our Enviroment

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

June 23, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In our organization, we use Veeam Data Platform primarily for data protection, disaster recovery, and business continuity. The platform supports our on-premises, cloud, and hybrid IT infrastructure by providing reliable and secure backup and recovery. Veeam Data Platform enables us to recover data quickly in the event of accidental deletion, hardware failure, ransomware attacks, or natural disasters to reduces potential downtime and data loss. ALso the platform helps us meet regulatory requirements like FERPA by keeping student records safe

Pros

Backup Recovery
Daily Backups
Data Security

Cons

Integrate M365 backup more into the main Veeam Data Platform console.
Improve search and restore performance for large Exchange or SharePoint backups

Likelihood to Recommend

Good Use: Virtual Environments, M365 Environments or more specifically Microsoft Windows environments since this is so pushed towards Windows

Bad use: IoT environments since there is minimal storage that needs backed up. Mac or Linux environments since this is mainly windows based and Mac is very limitedly supported. A lot of schools have Both windows and Mac environments

Veeam Data Platform Review

Rating: 8 out of 10

June 23, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Veeam Data Platform data platform is used for back up services. It enables us to back up of critical systems and data. It has been utilized only for virtual machines but ideally we want to leverage more features to allow thorough back up capabilities. The customizable rules for back up makes automating back up jobs simple and easy to implement.

Pros

Back up jobs
Data retention
Automation
Cataloging

Cons

Include Machine learning capabilities
Faster response times
Updates to UI

Likelihood to Recommend

Veeam Data Platform has been great for backing up virtual machines. It can be leveraged for other systems but mainly virtual machines have been the most critical systems we used to back up. It is not appropriate for systems and platforms that are not connected, or systems that have different back up process more suitable such as cloud based back up solutions.
