Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication
We're using it to fulfill the backup requirements for our virtual infrastructure and we support it across a variety of our customers. Without Veeam Backup & Replication, we wouldn't have been able to recover some critical VMs we lost due to a SAN failure at our site which was the core of our business, like our mail and ticketing system. We basically use it only at our core infrastructure at this very moment, but our clients use Veeam products across their ecosystems which we support on a daily basis. It has helped us mitigate a couple lost VMs and even couple VPs laptops.
Pros
- Backup VMs
- Schedule VM Backups across the site
- Restore from archived Datastores
- Lower our TCO with our clients
Cons
- IBM Tape support, we had an issue setting it up and it could be easier
- Scheduling tasks such as replicating to another site without Veeam products
- Veeam has saved us from spending more money on other backup solutions.
- The cost has made us recommend it to all of our clients. The initial investment was something affordable and thus has helped us to keep on course.
We have supported and used Veeam with our clients, so the solution definitely had an advantage over all of them except Tivoli. But, the [ease of] deployment really got our hearts. Did I mention we spent only 6 hours deploying it, whereas Nakivo took us 2 days to just understand the basics, and Backup Exec didn't even work on the first run?
