Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for Azure
I worked on various backup technologies like NetBackup, Commvault, Backup Exec, HPDP, Networker, NetVault, Unitrends, and Microsoft DPM. So I want to give my true review of the Veeam. I've been working in Veeam for Backup & Replication and Veeam Backup for Azure since last year. I recommend Veeam as the best backup solution for virtual machine environments. Its lightweight and user-friendly tool and configuration are very simple and self-explanatory in the console itself. Its capability of doing compression and deduplication at the application and hardware level is best for cost savings. The instance-based license we are using for cloud backup is also used for on-premises VBR backups, as it is a universal license. Restoration steps are as common as others. I can see an advanced feature and option in Veeam called Health Check to test the data integrity of our backups. We recommended Veeam Backup for Azure to our client to backup VM instances, which is the easiest way to create snapshots and retain them with the retention policy rather than doing cloud-native snapshots and restores. Backup to storage tiers like cool, hot, and archive depends on our needs and gives much cost savings. Lastly, Veeam is the best to protect your data more efficiently and securely.
- Faster backup & snapshot
- Storage capacity saving by moving the backups to archive tier in cloud storage
- Faster VM recovery
- Universal license feature
- Need more improvement on backup reporting
- Backup monitoring console should be better
- VM backup recovery for entire VM and disk level is too fast than expected and able to bring back the corrupted VM to live without affecting the SLA
- Backup Tiering to archive tier saved much cost
- One of the backup solutions malfunctioned and occupied more space in the cloud, which put a huge amount of money on the bill, but Veeam is tightly coupled and integrated with Azure, so there won't be any space for such incidents.
License cost is low compare to other and configuration and administrator are easy and straight forward.
