Veeam just works
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of setting up backups and confirmation of them working.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some issues with it accessing NAS storage but this was found to be Windows issues and resolved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Setting up full image backups. It just worked well to do this.
Easy to use, doesn't need a ton of bells and whistles
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam is flexible and easy to use. It's a mature product that has been in the market for a long time, and most IT personnel know how to use it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it had more automation options like screenshot verification and automated disaster recovery testing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backup and replication for onsite servers.
Very simple to set up, lots of features.
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam Backup and Replication is a very easy-to-use software that supports backup of physical and virtual infrastructure to many different destinations. I use Veeam with a Synology NAS with a backup folder shared over SMB. I also use Veeam to replicate VMWare VMs to a remote site for DR site purposes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Veeam starts to get complicated once tape backups are involved. A lot of the documentation is theoretical, and there are no guides or best practice whitepapers available specifically for tape media. There is a steep learning curve for some of the advanced features Veeam has to offer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
VMWare allows us to replicate virtual machines to VMWare infrastructure at a remote location, then spin it up if our primary site goes down. It can automate things like re-addressing the virtual machines when the subnet changes. It very much simplifies the process of getting our emergency site running in the event of a network or power outage.
Veeam Backup & Replication: A solid backup solution
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam is easy to use and fairly reliable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their built-in file encryption has caused me numerous issues with my copy jobs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed an easy-to-use backup solution that worked with a wide variety of repositories, was reliable, and full-featured. Veeam checked all the marks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would not choose to use their built-in encryption at the moment. It has caused many issues with backup-copy jobs writing to NAS over NFS. We are currently troubleshooting the issue; however, it has taken them 4+ months to do so.
Veeam Backup & Replication Experience
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam Backup & Replication has a light and simple management interface. Also, I can find a lot of documents and fix my problems. Backup, replication, and failover operations can be configured easliy. Job tracking is detailed and descriptive. Disaster and disaster test scenarios can be applied simply. In summary, I can say that it is simple and fast. Platform-independent working flexibility is a big advantage. I didn't use Cloud but I believe it brings more flexibility. Community support and trial opportunities make it easier to install and learn the product in demo environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Veeam management console takes a long time to open on windows. It needs to be opened faster for management flexibility and quick actions. Also, web interface support would be great. I think it should be improved on database backup. database backup can be confusing for system users. I prefer it to publish it as a virtual appliance with all its configurations done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can start virtual server replications quickly and easily. Thanks to its flexible structure, we can back up to many data storage systems. Thanks to the ease of management, we reduce the time for users to adapt to the management interface.

Very fast backup utility
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam is relatively easy to install and works well with vCenter. The backups are fast and so far seem reliable. Their community addition provides many features for free but stepping up to a paid version is necessary if you have more than ten targets to backup. It is an excellent tool for backups!
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, there is nothing that I dislike about the product. The only thing that might be an issue is if your backup destination is a cheap NAS, you may experience errors. I initially used a Buffalo Terastation Pro with AWS replication as the backup destination. Veeam was reporting errors which seemed to be an issue with the NAS. After adjusting the NAS, the backup errors went away.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, I am only utilizing the Backup feature of Veeam. The solution is providing a seven-day backup cycle of our infrastructure. We are able to provide local and offsite backup in case of an emergency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend starting with their community edition and testing the product first.

Periodic backup of GMP sensitive data
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a better alternative to FTP setup.

Veeam Backup and Replication which changed they way we did backups.
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam is an excellent product for backup and replication. It is an easy-to-use tool that is also reliable and does not break the bank. It has considerably improved our ability to recover from a disaster and improve our uptime.
What do you dislike about the product?
For me, Veeam Backup and Replication is the best product; I have problems with this software. The support needs to improve a bit, though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Veeam Backup and Replication have allowed us to improve our uptime, and the easy-to-use interface has made us more confident in case of a disaster.
Solid product, easy recovery options for full disk, image or file-level.
What do you like best about the product?
I found this product reasonably easy to install and configure. The backups can be configured to optimize backup disk usage if space is a concern. The console allows for groups making managing multiple sites, business units or departments much easier. The recovery options are quite robust. Anything from a bare-metal restore to a file-level recovery is possible without too much effort.
What do you dislike about the product?
In very large scale deployments, multiple servers are needed to provide enough compute and bandwidth to complete backups in a reasonable time frame. This can place a lot of additional financial burden on companies so they can afford the physical or virtual resources necessary. This also adds a level of complexity but isn't too bad. If using incremental backups, recovery times can be lengthy. Not very helpful when you need a quick turnaround.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Veeam allows for full, bare metal system recovery, so in the event of a catastrophic hardware failure a system can be recovered on another disparate host or cluster. This aids in and to some degree makes the DR planning and execution a bit easier. What is also a great feature is the ability to launch a system directly from the Veeam storage.
