Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Veeam Backup & Replication to backup our VMWare server environment of over 175 servers for our whole organization. We migrated to Veeam from IBM Tivoli and Veeam is hands down much easier to use. Tivoli required professional help from outside the organization and was very complicated. Veeam is very easy to install, configure and begin backups with minimal knowledge of the product.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Ease of use
Quick restores of servers & files
Reliability

Cons

Make it easier to get full inventory of servers in all backup jobs
add indicator in wizard to show if server is already part of a backup job

Return on Investment

Less time fixing issues with backups
Easier to get technical team trained for backups and restores
Less need for professional services from 3rd party vendors to use the product

Likelihood to Recommend

Veeam Backup & Replication is very powerful and flexible. We do use it for backups, copy of backup jobs to external storage and replication for backups to an off-site location and it just works. I even use it for my computers at home and found the ease of use and reliability of the backups very valuable. I don't fear losing data with Veeam as I have with other backup software.
