Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Veeam to protect all production data, including Hyper-V based virtual machines. It is a key part of our disaster recovery planning, malware protection, and as-needed, granular item-level restore capabilities. We also leverage the Veeam Cloud Connect capabilities to work with a 3rd party vendor for offsite replication.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Unobtrusive, non-performance affecting backups.
Flexibility for various storage targets.
Item-level, application specific recovery.
Cloud connect offsite replication setup and management.

Cons

I would love to have a cloud-hosted console available.

Return on Investment

Veeam has delivered everything we bought it to do.
It continues to expand what it can do, which we have looked to take advantage of.
Veeam support has been very efficient and responsive when we have needed assistance.

Likelihood to Recommend

Veeam is a great option for highly virtualized environments. It continues to add new capabilities for both cloud-hosted, and non-virtualized, on-premises environments as well, which bodes well for the product roadmap. I am interested to see where the abilities grow to backup hosted data, both in public cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, Google, etc.) as well as specific hosted one-off applications (Workday, SalesForce, etc.).

Veeam was a great purchase years ago and evolves to continue to make us look smart years later!
