Veeam Backup & Replication

Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Platform

We follow a 3-2-1 backup rule. We have two separate domains in two separate locations that we need to backup.

Pros

  • The basics of the system are easy to setup
  • It is reliable, you can trust it to backup your data and that the data will be retrievable
  • Adding new physical and virtual machines to the backup plans is easy

Cons

  • It is a very complex system that does require training
  • Documentation could be better
  • Sometimes machines don't backup and you aren't notified, you must be vigilant about checking logs
  • Recoveries can be slow, but this could be us not having things setup correctly
  • It took us longer to learn than originally anticipated
  • Backups are very easy once in place
Veeam Data Platform came recommended to us by our VAR. We were impressed with the features and when we tested the software, we found it easy to use.

Would you buy Veeam Data Platform again?

Yes

It is a great system but for us had a steep learning curve, something I was not expecting out of our backup system. It is reliable, which is what matters when it comes to backups. Support is great, we were able to hop on calls with someone to help us better understand the system and to go over our setup. Sometimes the system has to be rebooted, we will notice we aren't getting notifications on backups and realize the system isn't communicating. We have not been able to determine what is causing this.
