User Testimonials
KeepitVeeam Backup for AWS
Likelihood to Recommend
The ability to restore within minutes is beneficial and helps productivity; no longer spend hours restoring from tapes. They can show a new start to the interface and portal, and within minutes, they know how to navigate and restore if required. It is very user friendly and easy for understand and navigate.

Veeam Backup for AWS works best on the AWS environment. However, it falls short on other cloud infrastructures as well as on hybrid or multi-cloud environments. So it is highly imperative to ascertain the needs of your clients keeping in mind the criticality of the workloads, the data transmission, the network, security, and the infrastructure before deciding on which backup to suggest.

Pros
  • Cross tenant restores, allows you to migrate mailboxes from one tenant to another.
  • Being able to backup multiple tenants/platforms from a single interface is awesome.
  • The setup and ongoing maintenance is great, articles on how to setup security and gain access to data in a secure way is also a great feature
  • The interface is very intuitive and easy to navigate, it hides an awful lot of power

  • Restoring from the AWS cloud to an existing virtual machine (VM), a freshly created VM (VM), a sandbox environment, etc.
  • Using Amazon Web Services' (Amazon) cloud as a backup destination.
  • The Veeam B&R product family offers a convenient interface for managing backups.

Cons
  • Providing more information on an ongoing restore job. Once you begin a restore or a data import, it seems to be impossible to see which user account that job is tied to.
  • Its job percentages seem to be drastically inaccurate. It will say a job is 76% complete even though it has only restored 484MB of 8GB - but this is just a little annoying and not a real problem.

  • Latency was an issue sometimes and after backing up data for 95%, the backup will fail and we will have to re-run
  • UX is great but we would like to have more CLI usage and automation baked into the solution. Especially now when GitOps (IaC) is getting traction.
  • Pricing wise the Veeam solution was difficult for native business to adopt.

Likelihood to Renew
Keepit just works. No hassle, no need to check it all the time, no need to check up on storage. If they don't raise the price (too much), I don't see any reason to switch.

There are intentions to renew Veeam backup. the reasons are
pretty straightforward and self-explanatory. Veeam PM provides best backup
solution which can be explored from the answers to other questions. other
obvious reason, moving from one platform to other platform is expensive
exercise plus it's a time consuming exercise. So till the time Veeam costs and
the features are in line with enterprise expectation well good

Usability
Such a simple solution to use. User friendly, intuitive, processes can be completed in minutes instead of hours with restoring from tape, and requesting the return of tapes from the off site location, thus saving many hours and cost of storage. Also gives the end user a better experience as files can be restored almost immediately.

I think that this factor is the best benefit to use Veeam Backup for AWS. It is really to use and the user experience is really amaizing. Our backup operators are doing his jobs easier than other solution than we had in the past.

Veeam Backup has never failed me, whenever we have needed to recover data it has worked flawlessly. It is highly available and I do not know of of a situation where our business has needed Veeam Backup fo AWS and has not been able to access or use it in some way.

Performance
No answers on this topic
We have not really noticed much difference and only notice it when doing work afterhours with our veeam being backed up. However, this is not the case as we do not do this often and hence we don't really have any real challenges for performance issues. Overall, we find that the performance is pretty good

Support Rating
Support helped us to set up SSO and MFA with our Azure AD Accounts. Once when the backup was failing, they could help us to investigate the reason and find a stale account that was preventing the backup. They are really concerned that the backup works and not only want to close the ticket like other support hotlines.

One of the best and leading backup solution with central management for all Virtual Servers, Physical servers and Application level backup. Migrated from distributed backup solution running at each site to central VEEAM solution which has reduced overhead of backup administrator and improves the backup performance. Veeam team is very supportive in solution design, taken care of all our requirements and provided the cost effective solution.

The training provided online was good. The training was restrictive to users but was content was good and informative. The information provided was relevent and flow was maintained well. The Question and answers were good and supported well. Need to have more material provided with the training and will support users to adopt train the trainer approach.

We setup this in a 2 hour call with the Keepit installation team, simple and easy

We were pretty happy with our implementation as it was simple to deploy and we followed the technical guide online with out much technical assistance from vendor support. We had also tested and streamlined a process based on our own documentation for our own company which was simple to follow overall for deploying into AWS for future instances

Alternatives Considered
We previously used Veeam to backup data from O365 to local servers. We had other SaaS platforms we needed to include and move from local to cloud backups. While Veeam does have multiple cloud options but compared with Keepit it was overly complicated and less cost effective. Keepit was a no-brainer in terms of simplicity and having a single 360 dashboard.
Read full review
The cost has been better that other cloud storage options. Also, the flexibility to run on various hardware and flexibility to store in various locations has been a big selling point. Unitrends was easier to setup and manage as hardware was included. But, with knowledgeable staff, I'm able to manage this backup environment better than ever now.

Scalability

We have using this solution since 2020. In that moment we had four Host Linux and today we have forty vm Linux and Windows. The solution work fine as with few vm as multiples vm. The backup operators lovely this feacture, because keep simple his duties. Finally, we use the same solution for AWS, Azure or onpremise. This is great characteristic for skill transfer over backup team!

Return on Investment
  • User productivity increase when the users didn't need to manually recreate data when it was lost. Estimation of past cases: 100,000 $ per year
  • Company blackout on disasters: pricelessly :-)
  • Admin cost reduction, no more tape changes and storage costs: 10,000 $ per year

  • Personally, I find that it helps me save a lot of time and effort as it is pretty easy to use and user-friendly. Veaam has proven to be a very reliable backup option for us over the past year.
  • Depending on the size and complexity of your AWS environment, backup and recovery performance may not be as fast as you would like. This can be particularly challenging if you have large volumes of data or need to perform backups frequently.
