Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

We use it for backups and replication of new clusters - daily backups, tape backups, and backups of remote sites. We typically use this to restore file level deletions that may happen by accident and that has been our bread and butter for our backup and restore process that has been very helpful to our end users.

Pros

  • Recovery!
  • Replication!
  • Usability
  • File Level Restore
  • Ability to make system tunings

Cons

  • Automated scripting with UPS to hault backups if UPS is too low to provide power
  • More AI integration
  • Less Service Driven for Faster Application Startup
  • Fix problems automatically if a restore chain is corrupted somehow
  • It has reassured us that we have a reliable software for managing backups
  • Veeam is super easy to use so it is not stressful
  • Has had us back up and running very quickly when a VM died
Veeam is a night and day difference between our older backup system. Veeam allows us to do daily incremental backups and adjust many settings that allow daily operations to continue without fear of backups slowing things down. Not only is veeam a great replacement but they continue to innovate and provide an extremely secure product.

Yes

Did Veeam Data Platform live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Veeam Data Platform go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Veeam Data Platform again?

Yes

Restoring full VMs is excellent. I think in the event of a total disaster - Veeam may not be able to handle running everything but that has yet to be seen. That being said - I think veeam has been able to accomodate almost every scenario we've come across and we are very pleased.

Integrating Veeam Data Platform

Veeam is beyond excellent and they do not put out an inferior mechanism to they're customers. I've not come across any feature that is not well researched, tested and deployed.

SQL may be the most complex but it's mostly on the SQL side where the adjustments are made.
  • AWS
