Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam is used by many of our customers primarily for VMware backups. Customers like its simplicity and ease of management.

Pros

  • VMware backups are very easy to set up.
  • Application-level protection from a VM level is tightly integrated and works well.
  • It's easy to use and manage via a web interface or gui.

Cons

  • Limited support for physical servers and products, such as Sybase and other products.
  • It can be difficult to track down complex issues.
  • Limited support for external storage.
  • Veeam does a great job backing up VMs, and with very little management.
  • The email alerts and reporting are very good and can be automated to send.
  • SQL backups work well and transaction log backups are good.
Veeam is on par with Rubrik for VMware backups. It feels well put together. Veeam handles medium-sized environments exceptionally well with little to no day-to-day administration.
Veeam is well suited for VMware heavy environments with a smaller number of VMs.
