Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
How was the initial setup?
It required 2-3 people to deploy. It is deployed in a hybrid manner. It took almost 2-3 hours for the process to complete.
The deployment procedure begins by accessing the Veeam Backup website to download the necessary software. Subsequently, the software is managed on the server where installation is intended. Before proceeding with installation, it's recommended to have a backup, ensuring functionality on the server. The installation process itself is distinct, not combined with the backup sector. Each step is downloadable, contributing to the installation information. The final step involves creating a backup job. Users can choose the backup type they prefer, whether it's full, implemented, or differential. Following this, the backup can be saved on desired media, such as servers.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is not expensive and I would rate it five out of ten.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We considered other vendors but discovered that the Veeam Backup has establishment as a direct node-to-node connection and synchronization with other systems.
What other advice do I have?
I can recommend that it serves as a good solution. The code constitutes a comprehensive answer. It effectively backs up all workloads. This applies to various scenarios – from email to physical and virtual machines, services, SAP DNS, and Azure DNS – allowing for comprehensive backup solutions. It extends to cloud-based backups as well. Essentially, it covers the entirety of our workload, whether on our infrastructure or network.
I would rate it an eight out of ten.

On-premises
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
An easy-to-deploy product with simple configurations that can be used as a repository for storing data
What is our primary use case?
We have used the solution for combining cloud and on-premise storage, like a hybrid repository for storing our data and offloading. We have also created backups for Exchange and SQL. We also use the solution for endpoint protection like laptops and bare metal restore.
What is most valuable?
The product has introduced cloud storage, which can be used directly for backing up the data. We need not have an on-premise storage location. It makes everything easy. The product’s configuration and settings are very easy.
What needs improvement?
The endpoint protection console is not centralized. It needs to be improved. The product must improve its reporting features so that it can be used for audit purposes.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for at least eight years.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. If everything is in place, deploying the solution takes one to two hours.

One or two people from our team can handle the deployment process. They have admin-level access to the server. It is easy. No other intervention is required.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I rate the tool’s pricing a seven out of ten. The product is expensive for small businesses. However, it is not that expensive.
What other advice do I have?
The product is suitable for a BDM organization that does not have the option to store data on-premise. It is really easy to manage. It can also be restored very easily. If we have a good network speed, it does a quicker restore. Overall, I rate the solution an eight and a half out of ten.
Engineers Built Veeam to Last
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam is a solid product that performs consistently and without manual intervention. It just works....
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few different pieces, Backup & Recover, VeeamOne, Enterprise, all the parts can get a bit overwhelming, especially during the upgrade process (what do I upgrade first? what relies on other applications?)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The granular recovery for AD and Exchange is flawless, saves us the intermediate step of using a 3rd party application to perform steps, it's all under one pane of glass.

How are customer service and support?
The customer service and support are quite good.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very easy. Setting up virtual machines is as simple as clicking next, next, finish. You then add the necessary equipment for backup and restore. Once the project is set up, it's stable and manageable through Veeam ONE. You can ensure your environment is in good shape and even debug if needed.
What about the implementation team?
For the deployment process, identify assets for backup, define backup and restore policies, ensure storage aligns with the environment, and verify correct licensing for the equipment.
We require four admins for the deployment and maintenance of the solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The licensing model is an annual subscription, not too expensive. There are some additional costs, but it's not very expensive and you can choose any environment.
I would rate the pricing a five out of ten, in the middle.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.
I would advise determining the required disk space, defining backup policies clearly, and planning for the necessary equipment.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Perfect software - continued enhancements - Fast, reliable, and secure - Great support!
What do you like best about the product?
Integrates with a lot of different hardware platforms and great support, as well as an active support community forum. Backups are effortless, fast, and have yet to have a restore job fail. We've been with Veeam for almost a decade now.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some cloud providers are not fast to catch up to the latest features offered by Veeam even when given half a year to opt in for advanced testing. This is not a slam at Veeam at all, but I have to fill something in here and it's rather irritating to be paying for a cloud service to store my data and not be able to use it if we want the latest features of Veeam. (Here's looking at you iLand!) Grrrr
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick and easy backups that are reliable and simple to restore. It's like magic of the backup world. I've seen other solutions in the market that look great, but none come with the small price tag Veeam has, and support is top notch.
