Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

Veeam Data Platform is used to back up our in-office servers, including AD, Security Camera Storage, and internal application servers. Prior to Veeam Data Platform, we had no method of backing up these servers. By utilizing Veeam Data Platform, we can be assured that we have adequate backups of vital servers that help our company run day-to-day.

Pros

  • Manage number of backups (number of fulls vs. incremental)
  • Easy to deploy
  • Easy to maintain
  • Virtualized workloads
  • Endpoints and physical servers running Windows & Linux
  • Cloud-hosted VMs within AWS or Azure
  • In addition to back up, we also replicate some of these workloads
  • In addition to back up, we also snapshot some of these workloads
  • None of the above
  • None of the above
Approximately 11 servers are backed up. This is what we anticipated when acquiring Veeam Data Platform.
  • Peace of mind that servers are being consistently and completely backed up
We did not have a backup solution in place, so the driving force was implementing a solution.
We have not used the cloud backup feature, but we have discussed using it.
Veeam Data Platform offered a better, easier to use product at a significant cost reduction than Bacula Enterprise. Bacula was almost 5 times the cost of Veeam Data Platform and, having now used both in my career, Veeam Data Platform is absolutely the better product in terms of usability and getting what you pay for.

Would you buy Veeam Data Platform again?

I've not seen any scenarios where Veeam Data Platform would be less appropriate. For what we use Veeam Data Platform for, I am quite happy with the effort of maintenance needed (extremely low), ease of setup (extremely easy to do), and overall have had a very positive experience. Setting up Hyper-V backups was extremely simple (basically point and click) and we've not had any issues with the backups since starting.
