Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
Veeam Backup & Replication is a stable backup & recovery solution. The backups are relatively quick, and the restores work successfully. Veeam Backup & Replication is very easy to set up, use and maintain. It was able to successfully backup both a physical Windows Active Directory server and several VMware VM's and successfully restore as well. It works great with Windows Servers and Workstations, both physical and virtual. We were looking for a backup solution that is stable and works consistently. That would work great with VMware and also be installed as a VM.
Veeam Backup & Replication is priced to be comparable with competitive products such as Unitrends.

- Veeam Backup & Replication's protection against ransomware is vital. Veeam Backup & Replication claims to protect against this scourge, and this is extremely valuable.
- Veeam Backup & Replication's ability to dive into a SQL database's tables and restore is excellent.
- The restores have worked every time and this is of great importance!
We were unhappy that Unitrends was not able to execute a P2V of a Windows Active Directory Server. Before the Unitrends support & maintenance contract was ended, I researched other products, and Veeam Backup & Replication met all our requirements and impressed us with the ease of setup, use, and maintenance.
We have been using AWS & Azure cloud storage for Veeam backups, and it works great.
Veeam Backup & Replication's backup solution for NAS File Storage worked tremendously and flawlessly. Easy to set up and easy to use.
