Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

Have used Veeam for all things backup for YEARS! Love their products, and they also offer one of the most friendly support experiences in the marketplace. Software installs and upgrades are flawless. Patches and upgrades are timely. I have never used a system with such a high level of reliability when it comes to backup, restore and overall data protection across platforms, local or in the cloud. And all the new safety and security measures in the new packaging are priceless. One of my most favorite vendors to do business with.

Pros

  • Backup
  • Restore
  • Archive
  • Data Protection
  • Disaster Recovery

Cons

  • Would like to purchase direct
  • License keys are better, but could still be improved
  • MS Teams Private Chat Backups
  • Virtualized workloads
  • Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
  • Enterprise applications such as Oracle or SAP HANA
  • Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
  • In addition to back up, we also replicate some of these workloads
  • Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
  • License portability as your environment needs change
  • Immutable storage to protect against ransomware
  • “Instant” recovery or portability between platforms (physical > virtual > cloud-hosted)
  • Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
About 30. It is what was anticipated, and it increases and decreases over time as new workloads are added and old workloads are retired.
  • Reduced backup / restore times by 50% or more
  • Incredible reliability
  • Reduced overall backup costs by 30% - 50%
Just got tired of unreliable backup solutions. A failed restoration of an Exchange server was the final straw that drove the move. Night and day difference. Would never use any other vendor for the protection of my data.
Primarily in backing up Exchange and MS365 from the cloud. We are planning cloud storage and some disaster recovery use cases for the near future.
We have used these feature to backup NAS infrastructure as well as backing up other workload to NAS infrastructure as cheap storage. Performance is excellent.
There is no comparison. Veeam wins hands down on reliability and ease of use. Simple and easy upgrades with no hassle. Much, much better support.
