We can modify and customize too much with its built-in option and features. it has almost all modern features which is required by System Administrator so it suits the best. I face only issue in troubleshooting as Veeam support is not much good as i faced multiple delays and if you want to search for a random error at forum, then you have to also open a case. Pros Full + incremental backup with compression User Friendly Easy to configure Supports all kind of Virtual Environment. Services based backup which analyze the data and compress/backup accordingly so the data can be restored. Replication. Cons Veeam support is not much good as i faced multiple delays and if you want to search for a random error at forum, then you have to also open a case. Although it is not much issue to open case but why we should go for a case for minor errors. It should be easily available on forums. Also its error troubleshooting is complicated.

January 9, 2023 5.0 Although the configurations took a long time in the first installation, everything was clear after the installation. In a very short time, we started the instant backup process by integrating our virtual machines. Great performance in replicating data to another medium and sending backups. Thanks to the management of data from a single point, we started to use our processes, lost time and resources more effectively. Moreover, the ability to instantly monitor the errors, reports and logs allows you to have control over all processes. Pros Veeam Backup systems take backups of our virtual servers installed in our feature systems and protect them. There is also the ability to do this task without an agency. Its licensing is simple and the standard is very good. It has a structure that can be installed and applied for almost every platform. Its flexibility takes it one step further than other software. It collects and organizes all your systems under one roof. It can perform processes such as backup and reloading from a single point. Ideal for running task creation easily. Cons If you do not know the features of the program professionally, typical user error will occur and this will create negative feedback for you.

March 7, 2023 5.0 With Veeam, we have effective tools that help us manage data recovery storage without much effort and, most importantly, provide us with adequate protection as well as enable us to control data access with high flexibility. Pros Veeem is one of the best cloud storage providers because it looks like a real server and works well with all computers, tablets, and mobile devices as well as with all operating systems. Veeem uses a strong encryption system, requires checking and 2FA authentication to enter the data storage area, as well as allows us to organize permissions by adding a password to some files so that we can control those who can recover and modify them. We can schedule data copies to prevent file loss in all cases, as well as synchronize smoothly with all devices associated with Veeem, which enables us to access and share files easily. Cons With Veeam, I have not encountered many downsides, as system failures are uncommon and easily remedied when they do occur. Review Source SR Sam R.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Customer Success Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Reliable cloud backup system" May 24, 2021 5.0 After suffering from losing information that was in various local backup systems, it was decided to use this excellent solution in the cloud, which generated significant cost savings and allowed us to recover information when we need it without inconvenience or delay. Pros The best thing about the Veem Back Up system in the cloud is that it allows access to them from any device and at any time, only with internet access. In addition, it generates significant cost savings, because local servers with their corresponding maintenance are not required. Cons The disadvantage that I can mention is that it does not have a system that optimizes the time necessary for the first data migration. If you have a lot of information, it takes a lot of time. But this is very common in this type of service.

Supervisor of Information Technology Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Veeam exceeded my expectations" June 15, 2021 5.0 Veeam was easy to setup, it's easy to use, and restoring entire Virtual Machines or even restoring things at the file level is very fast and easy to do. Pros Veeam is so easy to use that even things that seem abstract or complex are actually fairly simple to setup. I'm using a plugin to interface my Veeam appliance to my physical storage to orchestrate backups, site-to-site replication and also have a virtual tape library setup. I implemented all of this within one day and my backups kicked off and ran flawlessly on the first night. Cons It was a bit complicated to emulate an "air gapped" backup process. Using a virtual tape library and unmounting the tapes when done was the best approximation I could implement. Review Source JC John C. Network Admin Packaging and Containers Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Backup option" June 2, 2022 4.0 Pros It is a very popular backup software for virtual machines and it works great! Cons At this moment, I have not found any complains from my admins. Review Source BL Brenten L.

Every time I needed to get back up and running it did a great job and was seamless. I really like instant restore feature. Pros I don’t know where to start, it has amazing tools for gettin files and putting them back whether on exchange or in the directory. The real power is in being able to start up servers/ PCs and run off of them while recovering. Additionally the offsite backup functionality is really impressive. This software can do it all and it never let me down once. Cons It’s a little expensive up front for small companies. It’s also a little hard to do offsite backups without enterprise.
