Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

We use it for backup and backup copy for a Hyper-V environnement.
The free lifetime version is a great opportunity to test it for company with low I.T. budget.
The backup copy functionality is very useful.
The backup explorer is easy to use to restore quickly a simple file.
  • Virtualized workloads
  • Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
  • In addition to back up, we also replicate some of these workloads
  • Automating test restores to validate recoverability
  • None of the above
  • The free community version
  • Backup hyper-V
  • Compress backup
  • Backup copy fonction.
  • adding a group of usb disk easier
  • To have the possibility to back up VmWare workstation player like a Hyper-V!!
  • Have an option to buy Veeam definitely not at month.

We protect all with one software, physical and virtual workload (except for microsoft 365 backup). No cloud.
It is no more and no less, just like i have calculeted. No surprise when you understand the "workloand system" (not easy...).
  • compress more the data
  • seem to be quicker
  • Use cleverly all the core when they are numerus.
The community edition is a good start to begin and see what veeam can do for you.

The save system is the same that others backup software (except the worload system...) so it is more the user interface witch will give you problem than fonctionality. You need to learn a little to find what you want.

The huge documentation is here to help you!
We don't have cloud workload so i don't use this.
Usefull function but to much limited by the data limitation, so we use another software for that.
Good point:
A good back up software with huge documentation!
Not easy to use the first time without help.
The free community edition, very usefull.

Bad point:
No lifetime licence...
The data limitation when you backup a nas... no comment -_-
No backup up of a wmware workstation player environnement.
