Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Veeam Backup & Replication is one of the most essential softwares our company currently uses to backup all of our virtual machine servers to multiple different physical locations as well as offsite backups. It is currently being used by our IT department to manage two different locations and all our servers simultaneously.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Great to backup all VM servers
Works perfect for outside VM backups
Fast and straight forward restore process

Cons

Compression functionality only for Enterprise license
Logs could be easier on details
Issues can be tricky to resolve

Return on Investment

Must investment for companies that depend on VM
License costs: positive
Usage can be deployed on undefined VMs

Alternatives Considered

We started with Symantec Backup Exec in 2013 for our backups. while upgrading our equipment and infrastructure we migrated all physical server to virtual machines and also moved to Veeam Backup & Replication to perform the VM backups. We used both for restoring the files and Veeam Backup & Replication provided much better performance. It also gave us more confidence to make sure our backups are safe and easily available if needed.

Other Software Used

VMware ESXi, Cisco Webex Meetings, Zoom Video Webinar, FileZilla, Snagit, Ubiquiti Networks UniFi, Ubiquiti Wireless WAN, LogMeIn Central, TeamViewer, Zoho Assist

Likelihood to Recommend

Veeam Backup & Replication is well suited for organizations that are infrastructured with virtual machine servers or virtual machine desktops. It does create backups—full and incremental per schedules—and it can be quickly restored if needed to either the same location quickly and simple procedures or different locations. It is a must for organizations nowadays.
