Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam is utilized for us to manage retention-based copies of our critical data sets for on-premise data (file servers, SQL DBs, and whole virtual machines (Windows)). We also utilize it to back O365 data to Azure blob storage. Some data sets are protected multiple times per day if the RPO dictates. Veeam solves compliance retention for our Bank plus allows us to help users who may have an operational impact when data is removed accidentally.

Pros

  • Reliable scheduled operations.
  • Easy upgrades to stay current on features.
  • Browsing backups for restores by Helpdesk or non-Admins.

Cons

  • Reporting and data analytics in Veeam is poor unless you purchase VeeamONE.
  • Client is thick and might be better if it were web based.

Veeam is well suited for Hybrid cloud environments with a mix of on-premise workloads and certain cloud workloads. Excellent for VMware environments. Possibly not as good a fit for 100% cloud environments.
