Solid backup platform for virtual workloads
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam has been a stable and useful platform for the small and mid-size company. It provides quality backups with good metrics to support data mining around your data protection.
What do you dislike about the product?
No physical backup capability at this point in time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a lower cost more stable platform from what we were using previously. The reduction of cost has helped to increase margins and the stability has made it so that we can provide better service internally.
Simplified Restoring and Backups
What do you like best about the product?
Extremely easy to load a vm snapshot to single item, multiple item or complete restore of multiple systems from files to exchange and sql. The management interface is simple to use, backups can be configured to speed up the throughput on the larger systems. Application awareness for truncating log files.
What do you dislike about the product?
Issues with taking backup of exchange with databases mounted, this has caused the backups to cause the databases to failover and at times stop the VSS that you have to restart the services.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backing up 100's of virtualized servers daily and allowing a months worth of vm restore points without having to go to the tape archive to locate. With being supplied the correct information it is quick to mount a restore point and dive directly to where we need to restore a single/multiple items, we can restore directly back to the original location or save it in an alternate spot. With exchange you can mount some ones complete mailbox and dive granular, and for sharepoint it will load you the site collection in Explorer view to easily locate and recover. If have even used to recover from crypto-virus that infected our file servers with minimal downtime and loss of information.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It does a great job for small and large virtualized organization. Your IT Staff will love the simplicity and short time to restore.
Veeam Works
What do you like best about the product?
Simple interface, Less problems better than our previous backup solution
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to troubleshoot at times when backups are failing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backing up VMs, DR etc
Original reviewer, purchaser, implementer.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to implement. Software backup and restore works. Restoring critical files does not become a resume generating event.
What do you dislike about the product?
Instructions to create a virtual lab were complicated and unclear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a backup of virtual servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to read and implement ALL the software offers, It does more than just backup and restore.
Keeps getting better in 9.5
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam as a backup product is fully featured and reasonable fast. Support has been very responsive and knowledgeable in resolving any issues.
The 9.5 release has increased my backup speed by over 75% compared to the 9.0 release and their various best practice guidelines have allowed me to gain even more performance.
SureBackup takes awhile to configure, but being able to view my backups being restored into an isolated environment and ensure they boot allowed me to feel even more comfortable that the solution is sound.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is not a view when restoring to look at a particular folder or file and scroll backwards through the restore points to find when a file or folder was updated or missing. Often users will report a file missing sometime in the last week, and we have to manually select a date, navigate through all of folder structure, and if it isn't there, then we have to select another restore point and then navigate through the structure again. That slows down our response time to locate the proper backup
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
General file backup and disaster recovery are both covered by Veeam. Our typical restore scenario is a file corrupt or missing and needing it restored, but sometimes an entire VM is needed to be restored, which only takes a few minutes.
Veeam helped me to do my office migration.
What do you like best about the product?
I can create VM replication in another location with different VCenter.
It Connects with VMware and check all the VMs I have in my environment, it helps to maintain all my VM backed up.
The new feature of Scale'out backup repositories is one of the best improvements because due to the limitation in VMware of having virtual disks up to 2 TB on version 5.5 forced me to create several disks then several repositories been a headache to manage backups Vs repositories. In addition, if I had a VM with more than 2TB on data, it was even more complicated.

What do you dislike about the product?
I couldn't improve the replication speed adding more proxies, even if I had a big bandwidth.
Veeam should have a web interface manager once the server is installed.
Missing the possibility to limit the amount od memory RAM used by the application, sometimes it goes to the top even using the pagefile. I get several alerts when the Veeam backup is running because it is taking all the page file and of course the memory RAM.
Could be better to have better access to log to have easiest troubleshooting. Sometimes there is not enough information.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had to migrate the office datacenter location. Veeam helped me to migrate all my VMs with not long down time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Veeam is quite easy to implement even for a medium environment. Scalability is great, fro example you can add new disks to repositories by using Scale-out Repository.
Powerful VM backup solution
What do you like best about the product?
The software is quick and easy to deploy to our VM's. And the pricing was reasonable when it came to the VM qty we have in our network.
What do you dislike about the product?
The restore feature can be slow when you are recovering files within the backup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backup of full VM's.
Effective, easy-to-use backup software
What do you like best about the product?
-VM backup. It runs very stable. Only have to configure once, then leave it alone. Only get back to it when there is more VM to backup, just cloning from existing job, modify schedule, VMs then go
- In most of the cases, the backup jobs can resist against the failures caused by external factors, such as network congestion, system is busy in use. The failed jobs will be automatically retry

What do you dislike about the product?
- The weakness of file backup
- The lack of other virtual environment backup than vmware and hyper-v, e.g virtualbox
- The notification method is not really flexible and sometime is treated as spam by some email systems

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Backup a bunch of project data, majority of them is virtual machines. VEEAM gave me worry-free backup solution. Just set it and forget it
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is definitely a good backup solution for virtual infrastructure environment especially VMWare & Hyper-V
Quality Backups with More Options and Less Hassle
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam is extremely easy to use, and introduces some features that were new to our organization. Recovery is simple and allows for single file extraction. We've also had great experiences with customer service.
What do you dislike about the product?
We still experience a few file failures using Veeam. The upside is that running the backup again is fast and easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We replaced Symantec due to recent failures and a lack of manufacturer support. Veeam was an obvious choice when comparing features. The backups are quicker, and recovery is much easier and accessible. The ability to easily pull individual files from the backups has also proven useful on occasion.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Veeam is a very simple, yet powerful solution to server backups. It's speed and cloud backup make it the best solution out there currently.
No worry backups, easy restores.
What do you like best about the product?
Veeam easily connects to all of our different servers and errors are much less frequent than our previous backup tool which always complained about the little things. Restores are easy, whether it's a whole server or just a single file.
What do you dislike about the product?
Don't really like how the console takes your through some steps for restore and then launches another program, but that just helps you get to your destination quicker, you could do it all in one program if you choose to do it that way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to have frequent errors and had to manage tapes. Veeam allows us to backup to disk and cloud.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a test run
