Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

We use Veeam Data Platform Backup and Replication for server backups and replicas. We have nightly backups and archiving setup for each server. We also have some archives being sent to an off-site NAS. We also use the Veeam ONE Monitor software to keep track of each of our server's resources. We get alerted for any errors and warnings via email. All of the software is integrated via VMware Vsphere.

Pros

  • Backups
  • Archives
  • Resource Monitoring
  • Notifications

Cons

  • SQL Table recovery -- you are not able to restore a single table if it is above a certain size. Restoring a whole (large) database is very cumbersome.
  • Some notifications are less important and could probably be ignored. More notification configurations would be helpful here.
  • There is a slight learning curve to the interface/UI for Backups. It is fine once you learn it but confusing at first.
  • Positive: Backups with quick recovery
  • Positive: Cheap renewal
  • Positive: Automatic off-site backups

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

Are you happy with Veeam Data Platform's feature set?

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

Veeam Data Platform is great for any company using VMware and looking for a cheap software. The cost of the software and maintenance is a major selling point for our company. Veeam Data Platform, at least the version we have, would be less appropriate for a very large company. In my opinion, a larger company would benefit from something a little more robust and a quicker setup.
