Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Availability Suite

Veeam is used both for a total backup solution for our company, but also as a resold product to provide total backup solutions for all of our clients. This also gives us the ability to replicate our clients' data back to our own data center.
  • Veeam provides highly configurable total backups that integrate into VMware seamlessly.
  • Veeam also provides the ability to replicate whole VMs back to our central data center.
  • Veeam has both web based and Windows desktop clients.
  • There's very little to complain about with Veeam. The only point of contention is that the web UI could benefit from a better feature set.
  • Veeam's web UI can also be a bit slow.
  • Veeam has provided a scalable solution that has allowed us to resell backup services to our clients and provide reliable replication and backup solutions.
While other backup solutions are generally good, Veeam is the only one that fully integrates with our vCenter environment to provide full backups, snapshots, and even offsite replication.
Veeam is typically useful for environments where all servers have been virtualized by either Hyper-V or VMware. In other scenarios Veeam would prove far less useful.
