Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

It is currently being used to back up our VMware infrastructure which includes our production VMs.
  • Ease of use
  • Single pane of glass for backups
  • When success emails get sent it would be nice to know what backup was successful. Was it full or incremental, for example?
  • We currently have not purchased Veeam and are using the Community Edition. Our ROI would not be accurate due to this.
Around 12 virtual workloads. This is the amount I anticipated being backed up.
We are currently not utilizing this feature.
We have not tested this feature yet so I am unable to provide an honest review on this.
We were using Storagecraft ShadowProtect prior to coming over to Veeam. It was a real headache on managing incremental backups forever and we had to utilize multiple tools to get the same performance and insight that Veeam gives you in one tool.
I feel like it really shines on the virtualization side. If you don't have a virtual environment I feel like the implementation may be a little different.
