Veeam is the best backup software I've used to date
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of backup for VMs and managing multiple backup jobs
What do you dislike about the product?
Backing up to external drives could be easier, but it still beats other backup suites I've used
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backing up all VM servers (about 25) and using the repository for Veeam agent backups for physical servers
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Veeam is by far the best backup software I've used and it is great for backing up VMs.
Has a lot of potential
What do you like best about the product?
Centralized management of backups, their status and restore portal
What do you dislike about the product?
Still a work in progress, limited features fully implemented yet, especially remote control of VBR jobs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
using something like VAS will hopefully prevent logging into multiple customers networks to change or check backups.
It just works
What do you like best about the product?
If you need backup or replication software this product just works. You also get an added bonus of getting Veeam One which will help you find out of scope items in your virtual enviroment
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can feel like troubleshooting is a little lacking if you do have a problem with the product, support isnt the best help in resolution either.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Disaster recovery is not something that you have to worry about anyore
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Know what you need for licensing and make sure your environment is virtualized. However they now have agents that will do your bare bone machines
Painless database restores
What do you like best about the product?
user friendly interface. quick file and database recovery.
What do you dislike about the product?
troubleshooting failed VSS errors and sql timeouts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
short recovery time of sql databases.
Simple yet Powerful
What do you like best about the product?
Its a straight forward, easy to use product. We were up and running in very short time.
Backup and Recovery just as simple
Backup and Recovery just as simple
What do you dislike about the product?
We don't use this to it full potential but from what I can see I don't have any dislikes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We mainly use this for Disaster Recovery and application development.
Worthwhile investment for small to medium sized companies!
What do you like best about the product?
1. Ease of use - Compared to previous systems, Veeam has the best GUI and it's easy to get comfortable with the product. Training new users on it is a breeze.
2. Speed - We are enjoying the backup speeds compared to similar products, and having it work so effortlessly makes it easy to schedule jobs.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Support response time could be faster. We had a long running quirk since 9.5 update 1 that took two months to make any progress on. We have it working correctly now, but there's still a configuration that we can set to trigger this problem again. Support also seems to be in non-US time zone(australia I believe,) so you'll hear from them at the beginning of the work day and maybe once again at the end of the day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having offsite replication set up using change block tracking saves a ton of bandwidth and gives more resiliency in the event of a disaster. WAN accelerators further speed up our replication jobs. Tape jobs can utilize one stream per drive for awesome speed as well. All of this combines into a platform that saves us a ton of time and resources that our previous solution did not.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Research options in storage to accompany the Veeam Suite. HPE StoreOnce appliances are nice, but they add an additional layer of dissection when it's time to solve a problem.
Does what it says on the tin
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of deployment and the ease of use. Adding virtual machines to be backed up and replicated is as simple as a few clicks while recovering application items and even entire servers is the same.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have any notable pain points in when using Veaam. I if I had to pick something it would be the lack of a Windows agent for physical servers. The Linux agent is available but the windows agent is still in the pipeline. Once the windows agent is released I'll be able to consolidate all of our backup operations to Veeam and remove ArcServe from our environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backup and recovery of Windows servers, Linux servers, SQL servers, Active Directory, and Exchange.
Backup Manager
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use in setting up jobs and getting our backups is great. Better yet, when we have to do a restore we have a number of options that are quick and robust to help get customers working again quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
We use Veeam in both VMware and Hyper-V. VMware is great, we have some issues but they are easy to work out and understand the cause. Hyper-V we have too many issues that are hard to get to the root cause.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ensuring we have backups of our servers and can quickly recover should there be an issue. It does what it advertises.
Feedback for my experience
What do you like best about the product?
UI is user friend. The support is very knowledge to help us to setup from nothing to something.
What do you dislike about the product?
The support take a little longer when I have issue to get back with me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
save money compare with different backup solution. It very easy to setup the backup on VM word
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think Veeam support need to get a little better on the return time.
Simple and powerful backup for your virtual environment
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam backup is simple and, at the same time, powerful and reliable. It is the kind of tool that you are able to manage in just a few minutes because it is very intuitive. Processes to backup and restore are very very simple.
You have the possibility to backup VMware and Hyper-V infrastructures. Enter the credentials of your vCenter and you will be able to see your VMs. After that, you just need to create a job and add the VMs you want to backup. You can configure options to:
- optimize the space with the use of compression and deduplication.
- enhance security encrypting your backups
- enable email notifications with the results of your backups.
- you can quiesce the VMs to take consistent backups.
There is another interesting feature that allows to replicate your VMs to a disaster recovery location. We were using this option to replicate critical VMs every hour. Again, this process is very simple.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only negative point is that you cannot copy physical servers and you cannot copy files at the operating system level. However, this is not very relevant this days because a high percentage of companies have migrated their environments to a virtual platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to replicate the VMs to a disaster recovery site in a very simple and reliable way.
We have been able to completely backup our virtual infrastructure saving storage capacity and time.
It helped us to reduce our RTO and RPO.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a fresh, intuitive and reliable backup tool for your virtual environment, do not hesitate, Veeam is your solution. I have worked with backup tools and Veeam is the one I would choose and recommend.
