Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

We use Veeam Data Platform for backup of our vital systems on a large number of servers to storage arrays. These servers, a mix of different operating systems, both bare metal and virtualised, located across the state and Veeam Data Platform allows us to easily manage them all centrally, backing up and restoring vital systems easily.

Pros

  • Backup and restore of a server is very easy and quick
  • The ability to backup an entire hypervisor with multiple VMs simplifies backup
  • Management and reporting of multiple sites from a central location allows for quick response and remediation

Cons

  • Veeam Data Platform installations / updates are often large files which is an issue for remote sites with slow connections
  • As far as know there is no Veeam Data Platform mobile app
  • Reduced the down time of services
  • Reduced the need for technicians to travel to remote sites to restore servers
  • Provided management with comprehensive reporting

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

A Windows update on a Windows Domain Controller did not complete successfully and the server was unable to boot. Thankfully the night before a scheduled backup was done by Veeam Data Platform and we were able to instantly restore that VM from the backup very quickly with little down time. It was as simple as a few key presses and mouse clicks for the server to be back up and running.
