It is no more and no less, just like i have calculeted. No surprise when you understand the "workloand system" (not easy...).
Needs Assesment
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.

- 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 …

(1-25 of 596)- Easy to install and setup
- Dependable backup solution
- Easy to maintain
Veeam Data Platform works better than DPM.
- Integrates well with 3rd party cloud backups particularly Wasabi which is very cost effective.
- Allows you to send secondary backups to multiple locations like other disk, cloud, etc.
- Sends good reporting emails when there is a failure.
- Their tech support has been much more helpful and knowledgeable than Microsoft's was for DPM.
- It could always be cheaper.
Good Product at a Great Price
- Backups
- Archives
- Resource Monitoring
- Notifications
- SQL Table recovery -- you are not able to restore a single table if it is above a certain size. Restoring a whole (large) database is very cumbersome.
- Some notifications are less important and could probably be ignored. More notification configurations would be helpful here.
- There is a slight learning curve to the interface/UI for Backups. It is fine once you learn it but confusing at first.
VEEAM Data Platform is better than it's competitors
- Restores to virtual machine fairly quickly.
- It sends us malware reports.
- Talking to support has not been extremely helpful. Some technicians are not sure of how to navigate our issues.
Veeam - amazing product!
- Backups
- Managing those backups/scheduled tasks
- Restoring from backups
- Running backups live from those backups
- Software support is great; the few times we've ever needed them they've pulled through
- A change to the interface for mounting then recovering individual files or folders feels clunky but it's the only complaint about the software. It works, the process just isn't as smooth as I'd like.
- An inline product update from an update button rather than going to the Veeam page to download a new setup file would be pretty slick, not a deal breaker by any means though
- It would be pretty neat to have an inline tech support data upload, provide a ticket number and have the support upload go directly to Veeam rather than taking that archive file and uploading it to the ticket via the web portal
Happy with Veeam Data Platform
- Unified backup solution using one console.
- Many different restore options.
- Many different backup options.
- Console takes some getting used to.
- SOBR is somewhat complex to set up.
- Backups take a fair bit of time, but this might be expected.
Veeam Data Platform Review
- Ease of recovery with file level restores.
- Application aware backups for Exchange and SQL servers.
- Ability to set backup windows and schedule backups based on other backups finishing.
- Slightly confusing license management.
- Sometimes has delays when loading file level backups.
- No ability to update from within the software.
The best backup solution !
- online backup
- hot restore point
- ransomware check
- immuable backup
- compression
- deduplication
PHP Veeam review.
- Highly configurable
- Dependable
- Backups
- UI update interval (like charts, copy speed update) is a bit slow.
- Starting backups takes a while, doesn't really explain what it's doing.
- Backups fail/warn for a lot of misc reasons, so a lot of time is spent diagnosing these (like the dreaded "Failed to index guest file system. VSSControl: Index failed").
Discovery of Veeam community edition.
The free lifetime version is a great opportunity to test it for company with low I.T. budget.
The backup copy functionality is very useful.
The backup explorer is easy to use to restore quickly a simple file.
- The free community version
- Backup hyper-V
- Compress backup
- Backup copy fonction.
- adding a group of usb disk easier
- To have the possibility to back up VmWare workstation player like a Hyper-V!!
- Have an option to buy Veeam definitely not at month.
A good back up software with huge documentation!
Not easy to use the first time without help.
The free community edition, very usefull.
Bad point:
No lifetime licence...
The data limitation when you backup a nas... no comment -_-
No backup up of a wmware workstation player environnement.
Veeam Backup & Replication - A review from an Education perspective
We also link in our backups with Veeam Cloud Connect, for secure, off-site backup, as part of our backup procedure.
- Provides a comprehensive, yet easy to navigate user interface.
- Lowers workload with automated backup scheduling.
- Easy integration with Veeam Cloud Connect for secure, off-site backup.
Whilst it's slightly more expensive than some of the other backup competitors, it's not the most expensive & I feel you really do get your moneys worth.
Especially with the flexibility of the various add-ons you can integrate with it as a platform.
Keep calm and use Veeam to win
- Restoring files from inside Linux VM from backup
- Replication with low bandwidth
- Make backup immutable for all NAS storage (Synology for example)
- Support for PROXMOX Hypervsior
Newest Version Exceeds expectations
- backups large data very fast
- easy to use interface
- compatible with many OS/environments
- could use a UI Cleanup
- licensing used to be better
Veeam support me help me daily
- backup speed
- ease configuration
- successful data recoveries
- I don't like getting alerts that the copy failed and then seeing that it succeeded
- I would like it to be translated into Spanish
Can you afford not to use Veeam?
- Immutable backups to protect against ransomware
- Easily integrate jobs that create copies of your data offsite or in the cloud
- Explore backed up files from the image
- Test OS level backups straight from the backup image
- I honestly can't think of anything
Veeam Backup: best for virtual infrastructure.
- Application-based restores are great & quick.
- I like the idea of having several states of backups on different devices.
- Copying existing backups to different types of media without touching the actual infrastructure is great.
- Creating different types of jobs sometimes gives you a headache.
- The way of creating a retention policy is very hard to understand at the beginning.
Veeam Data Platform - Perfect for Networks of All Sizes
- Easy file level recovery.
- Easy to maintain which servers are backed up.
- Licensing has been strange in the past. Per Core/CPU? Why?
Primarily I'm leveraging it to fill the gaps in our backup systems; previously there was another platform in place, but it was long since defunct by the time I was hired, plus our current VM backup system is going away at the start of the next year.
Ultimately, once the VMs are transitioned, I want to use the redundant server to round out our DR setup.
- File-level restore is quick, reliable, and much simpler than other platforms I've used
- Replication is extremely simple to configure and test
- Agent setup for user endpoints and subsequent backup storage is incredibly simple
- Cloud repository configuration is extremely straightforward and well-documented
- My main gripe with Veeam Data Platform was resolved with the release of 12, which was cloud backup repository addition being extremely restricted in 11
Honest review of our transition to Veeam Data Platform
- Uses custom storage and is not tied to any particular storage vendor.
- Veeam Data Platform has the ability to dedupe and encrypt backups on custom storage, including ZFS.
- Backup and recovery of entire VMs is very convenient.
- Backing up VMs on multiple vCenters across multiple sites is seamless with Backup Enterprise Manager
- The scalability on Veeam Data Platform is great. You can run everything on one server/VM in a small environment, or scale out more VMs to manage the workload the larger your environment is.
- The Veeam Data Platform documentation on their website is very comprehensive. Sometimes overwhelming, but most things you need to know can be found there.
- Veeam Data Platform could use a web interface for the Backup and Recovery product without having to install a separate application (Backup Enterprise Manager)
- Being able to see some stats without the VeeamONE product, such as how much storage an individual VM is using.
- The documentation is well done, but it is still difficult to discern which roles do which job. Such as the Veeam Proxies connect directly to the Hypervisor, and the Veeam Gateways mount the repositories if they are network shares.
- Continuation from the last point, allowing individual ports through firewalls requires quite a lot of planning, the larger your environment is. If you have a small environment with only one Veeam Data Platform server, this is not an issue.
- Getting an agent installed on semi supported versions of Linux for our bare metal servers can end up being a one by one process. Our Windows bare metal servers installed seamlessly. The different flavors of Linux has been a challenge.
- Hopefully they are adding more granular ACLs for the VM Recovery. Currently, if someone needs to recovery an entire VM, they have to be given access to everything on the Virtual Backup and Replication server. If they need file level recovery, they can leverage the web applcation if you have installed Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager and they have local admin/root access to the machine they want to recover to.
- Veeam Data Platform could use a proper High Availability for its own management servers. The current method to replace any of the Veeam Data Platform management servers is to create a new VM/server and restore the backup of the internal database (that you better keep up with). This is probably my biggest concern with the product. We are using the competing 3rd party product to replicate the Veeam Data Platform management servers to our HA and DR sites.
- Veeam Data Platform works great for recovering full VMs within minutes. If it was a little faster, it could replace VM snapshots entirely. It is very easy to add/remove VMs to and from backups.
- We use vmware tags that are assigned to a Veeam Data Platform job. Each schedule, Veeam Data Platform checks these tags and add/removes them from the job. VeeamONE has reports that have changes made in case a tag is accidently ran, as well as the job throwing a warning if a VM was backed up and is no longer backed up.
- Veeam Data Platform was our best option for backing up to custom storage. We demoed many products, and we ranged from no support at all to they couldn't dedupe unless we used their storage appliance.
- Using a Backup Copy job has been very useful for us. We run a Backup Copy job to copy our current backup changes to our DR site after each job is complete.
- If you have a complicate High Availability and/or DR setup, managing the Veeam Backup and Replication server, along with VeeamONE and the Veeam Enterprise Manager server can be less than ideal in my opinion. I would prefer a more Active/Active or even Active/Passive approach that keep in sync with each other vs having to manually recreate the server in a
Veeam is the standard for backup and replication.
- backups / snapshots
- replication
- cloud DR
- instant recovery, they can do it faster.
- more friendly GUI
- provide training
- Backups of virtualized infrastructure.
- Creating replication of backups between datacenters.
- Creating immutable backups for data protection.
- Incorporating in physical server backups alongside virtualized server backups.
- Haven't been a fan of recent licensing model changes
Why I like and use Veeam.
- Restoring a VM to production
- options to view/restore application based backups Exchange and SQL
- ability to turn on a VM from a backup in a test environment to test the backup or troubleshoot without affecting production.
- the licensing model that requires you to keep paying every year to use the software is my only complaint about the software
Veeam is great
- Reliable backups
- Immutable backups
- Various backup destinations
- Support could stand to improve by a bit. The level of support has seemingly lessened over the years I've been using it.
- It needs to be able to report backup repository statistics better when XFS and ReFS are in use.
- It could be a little better about cleaning up after itself (old logs, etc.).
Reliable backups with some weak points in cross-site management
- Handles backing up and reliable replicating virtualized VMWARE infrastructure
- Having a reliable working copy to rely on before beginning a maintenance window
- Integration with HPE Nimble and our other NAS' is pretty solid, though netgear's readynas doesn't seem to be available as one of the supported providers.
- Better reporting with more options
- Additional focus on moving to a centralized model instead of requiring each instance to be installed and managed primarily through different backup servers across our locations
- Pre-run estimations and warnings if there is insufficient space on a given datastore would be very helpful
A reliable, hardy backup product
- Backup replication
- Site failover
- File and folder recovery
- Console UI
