Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Availability Suite

We are currently using Veeam in our Development area. Veeam has helped us with all of our backup and recovery needs, specially after the 9.x version came out, it allows cmdlets to be accessible via PS. This feature allows us to automate our process and is very light weight when it comes to installation.
  • Automation
  • Back up and recovery
  • Plays very well with VMWare
  • Pricing
  • More training, live WebEx
  • Possibly have its own lightweight appliance
  • We are saving so much on back ups and other technology
  • Recovery on data via snapshots has saved us various times
  • Pricing is a bit expensive
Well we are currently running them in parallel but sooner rather than later this will change and will seek further on Veeam. The transition takes time since you want to make sure it suits your company's needs. Veeam plays very nice if your infrastructure is virtual, so feel free to start with the free version then request a trial for the full blown version.
if you are a VMWare shop Veeam will definitely help you achieve various tasks, in my case I'm able to back up my important VM's from vCenter and store them on a SAN. Even if you get the free version, it does so much for you that you will be amazed. Even if you are not using replication in your company you will benefit from the free version.
