Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
Veeam Backup & Replication is being used to back up our company's VMware ESXi host. It is currently backing up eight servers. The business problems it solves are:
- Simple backup job creation and management.
- Backup of the virtual environment.
- Backup to NAS.
- Backup a heterogeneous Windows/Linux ecosystem.
Pros
- As a former Backup Exec consultant, I love Veeam Backup & Replication's simplicity.
- The status of backup jobs is easy to find.
Cons
- I have not run into any areas requiring improvement.
- ROI is immediate as the cost is $0.
In the past, I have been a Backup Exec consultant. It had been interesting seeing Backup Exec being displaced by Veeam. At the time the managers I worked with noted Veeams ease of use and successful backups of virtual environments. At the time(2011 to 2015), I continually ran into unresolvable issues backing up some virtual environments. In contrast, Veeam Backup & Replication has successfully backed up all of our virtual servers with no issues. Additionally, Veeam Backup & Replication was easy to set up. It just made sense.
