Robust data protection and management offering user-friendly interface, comprehensive virtual machine backup capabilities and efficient instant recovery
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
It allows us to perform instant recovery for SIM machines. This means that we can quickly install the configuration and check whether the machine is operational or not. This efficient process allows us to assess the status and decide to proceed or make necessary adjustments. Unlike traditional methods that may take up to two hours for restoration, our instant recovery feature enables us to recover in as little as five minutes, providing a prompt evaluation of the machine's functionality.
What is most valuable?
The standout feature for us is instant recovery. Additionally, we have the capability to replicate our repository in various clouds. It proves highly beneficial as we only need to configure a single repository and instruct it to replicate all backups that we have on-premises.
What needs improvement?
I would like to improve Cloud application, as well as disaster recovery since we must export our data from our buildings to another location. It would be beneficial to have enhanced solutions for database backup, particularly for Oracle databases in the context of SAP systems.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with it for two years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate its stability eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scaling up the system requires significant resources, necessitating the use of knowledge base tools dedicated to both storage and virtualization. I would rate it seven out of ten. We utilize it daily with a user base of a thousand individuals. Going forward, we have plans to expand its usage further.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We initially employed Active View, and transitioning to Veeam proved to be a beneficial decision. However, due to the company's shift to another provider, we were unable to continue using the product. The integration with Google Cloud was limiting, and as we required an on-premises solution, we had to explore alternatives.
How was the initial setup?
Setting up the system was a straightforward process for us. We were able to do it independently without the need for a solution partner, making it a convenient and practical experience. I would rate it eight out of ten.
What about the implementation team?
The installation is straightforward, but managing the system can be challenging, as it may require installing various tools on different machines. Consequently, a substantial infrastructure is necessary, involving approximately ten servers for the complete solution. The deployment process took approximately three weeks. Initially, we devised a plan, followed by the design phase. Once the design was finalized, we proceeded with the installation and implementation. The deployment was carried out in-house, with the involvement of two to three individuals.

I would rate it ten out of ten in terms of ROI.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It comes with a higher cost and it is an all-inclusive solution. I would rate it nine out of ten.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated three products, namely Cohesity and Rubrik, and after careful comparison, we opted for Veeam.
What other advice do I have?
It necessitates careful consideration of factors such as the volume of data to be backed up, the number of servers in play, and the requirement for proxy servers. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

VEEAM for backups your way!
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility in fitting the software to an environment. Lots of ability to customize jobs to the specifics of the environment.

Went from an aging backup product to Veeam. Veeam integrates with HPE storage and provides a mechism for backing up our VMware environment.
Useful for workstation and infrastructure backups

Super easy to setup and while veeam is expensive, backing up to an S3 container ended up making it cheaper than our previous solution. Customer support was great, even when we were trailing the software they treated us as if we owned it.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's complicated (but only because it can do so much) and there's a sticker shock for a small business upfront.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backing up our entire HyperV server. Before we were only making a copy of our file share and sending it to a remote server via ftp.
Veeam Data Platform
