Veeam Backup & Replication
Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform
We use Veeam Data Platform for server backups and replications. Also we use it for application based backups and recovery. Active Directory, Exchange, SQL. We backup to on prem NAS devices and also to Immutable Cloud object storage such as Wasabi. We need to be able to recover quickly from multiple backup repositories.
Pros
- Full Server Backups to NAS servers
- Full Server Replication to Direct attached storage on VmWare host servers
- Recovers Exchange mailbox's and Active Directory users
Cons
- Would like to see them offer pro services to configure and ensure optimal settings in the software
- Pro Services for configuring Veeam Recovery Orchestrator
- Pro Services to configure Veeam One
- Virtualized workloads
- Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
- In addition to back up, we also replicate some of these workloads
- In addition to back up, we also snapshot some of these workloads
- Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
- Application-centric recovery using Veeam Explorers (for Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, etc)
- Immutable storage to protect against ransomware
- Immutable storage to protect against ransomware
39 virtual servers - and 1 physical server. More than when we started with Veeam Data Platform. Editing the jobs and adding workloads is very easy.
- Veeam Data Platform has saved us a lot of time. Recovering deleted or corrupt files is fast and easy.
- We have used replicas to get server services back online quickly after a failure.
- Fundamental tool for any virtual environment.
We have been using Veeam Data Platform since it's early days. Maybe 10 years now or so. When we moved to a virtualized environment we needed a reliable backup and recovery solution tailored for the virtualized environment. Veeam Data Platform has never let us down. Very dependable product. I would recommend Veeam Data Platform to any friend.
We have been using cloud based immutable object storage for about 3 years now. We push our core servers once a week to the Cloud for an offsite Immutable option in case we would fall victim to malware or ransomware.
Our organization has yet to use the NAS/File-share backup solution for protecting unstructured data.
Struggled with the complexity and cost of previous solutions. Veeam Data Platform has been easy to use and has allowed us to recover data from our backups with a few easy clicks.
