Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

We use Veeam Backup and Replication to backup our VMware environment. We had long backup windows with our old backup software and need a solution that narrowed that windows. Veeam delivered on that. Our backup times have drastically shortened and restoring a VM is almost instant. I am very happy with this backup software and really don't have any complaints.

Pros

  • Restoring a VM to production
  • options to view/restore application based backups Exchange and SQL
  • ability to turn on a VM from a backup in a test environment to test the backup or troubleshoot without affecting production.

Cons

  • the licensing model that requires you to keep paying every year to use the software is my only complaint about the software

Do you think Veeam Data Platform delivers good value for the price?

Did implementation of Veeam Data Platform go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Veeam Data Platform again?

Yes

  • backup windows times have been drastically reduced
  • restoring of individual files or entire VM's was smooth and fast.
In our environment Veeam has been really well suited for us. It integrates well with our VMware environment and allowing us to do storage snapshots on our Dell enterprise SAN's. It also allow for tape backup. We have compliance requirements that still need us to use tape backup and Veeam was one of the few venders that still offered that.
