Veeam Backup & Replication is our still our go-to backup software in the SMB/SMC customer base.
Veeam local support for new business is outstanding. Renewal support is not local, but is sufficient. Overall, VBR is a great product, and used in the majority of our customer base.
PROSVeeam Ent Plus licensing is an end-to-end solution. Very easy to install, setup and use. Excellent local support.
CONSThe new licensing model is difficult to migrate to for those customers on STD and ENT existing agreements. Pricing has increased drastically for the "Per VM" model. No agent licensing for small sites with standalone servers.

I resisted for a long time... not sure why
The pricing (much to my surprise, which is why I resisted for a while) was very good and even better that competitors. I have the "Essentials" licensing pack, which is limited to 50 backup nodes but is very affordable if you can fit within that limitation.
PROSIt work well, is flexible, and offers lots of features

Great Backup & DR Software for the Datacenter
A great backup system that allows us to recover data when needed and required. It allows us to retain backups on-site and offsite for recovery including replicated jobs.
PROSThe current software - Version 9.5 Update 3 covers the needs for any user of the software. You can use the Windows/Linux Agents for physical boxes and manage them directly from the Console now, which includes updating, installing and rebooting of the endpoint. The software is easy to navigate and set up. While true it is mainly for virtual environments they are making strides to cover physical as well. Storage Integration is a great plus with vendors like HPE Nimble, IBM, and Infinidat but requires the Enterprise Plus license. When deployed with Proxy Servers you can cut down backup times drastically. What would take more than 10+ hours can be reduced to 4-5 depending on your environment. The ability to restore to Active Directory, SQL, Exchange is very easy with the software as well as Replication and Recovery Testing with SureBackup. Be sure to review the licensing models to pick what is best for your organization as they even have a Free Edition with limitations. Support is top notch with this product and very responsive. Never had a ticket opened that could not be solved or take a long time to resolution.
CONSThe user interface could use some updating to something more modern like some Windows 10 applications.

Great Administration Controls and Improved Linux Operation in Backup & Replication v11
I use this to manage backups of office-facing and production servers in a non-profit business. We have less than 10 servers to care for and the free Community Edition is perfect. I have found the features and reporting to be robust. Practicing restores is no trouble. I have never needed vendor support to operate or configure this Veeam Backup & Replication - it works well and has good documentation!
PROSBefore version 11 the features available to manage Linux backups were a subset of the features available to manage Windows backups. Windows only allowed one backup job per Linux Infrastructure Object and I found myself configuring the backup settings from the Linux command line. Now I can make two backup jobs for the Linux box that are completely managed from the Veeam server interface. Many other features are also available now. I have not used the CDP feature for virtual operating systems, yet it is promising.
CONSThere is a module to export a backup and the wizard doesn't let the operator specify the destination of the export. It is sent to the backup repository on which the backups are made for the job. I would like to specify the location during the wizard.

Robust and optimal data backup
Allows backup without any interruption. It successfully simplifies the data recovery process. It has excellent replication, which allows data to be moved and sent from one directory to another. Allows you to compress data while backing up saves time and storage space.
CONSThe initial configuration takes a considerable time, it is necessary to incorporate more documentation to speed up this process. Your license is considerably expensive.

Veeam Availability Suite is a useful software package for Backups and DR that works well.
Security and peace of mind for security and retention of data.
PROSThe ease of installation and use, easy configuration and minimal setup time makes this software our choice for MSP customers. We have found it to be reliable and consistent, with many different customers all using the software in different setups. Recovery from the file/folder level all the way up to the Entire VM restoration is easy to understand and perform.
CONSPrice tag is a little hefty for some customers, but overall is usually on par with other similar software. However there are options out there from Veeam to help mitigate the cost if needed.

Top shelf enterprise backup and recovery solution
The ease of use of this product suite is OUTSTANDING. By far the quickest to learn and use of any of the many different solution we have tried out over the years. This one is the keeper. Scheduling and chaining of jobs works like a charm. So little overhead in managing the backups and recovery.
CONSIf I were to point to anything it would be the lack of integration with Dell SAN systems, but I'm sure that will be sorted in a future release.

Excellent backup tool
I am using Veeam since from February 2021. It's actually a best software but faced many times backup issue when Server size were more than 1TB. Otherwise restoration process are good, Instance recovery process are also simple and useful for migration also.it's seriously very good software for full server type backup(Host base backup).
PROSWe can easily download the product from hie official website. Can easily add the cluster, nodes in Veeam tool,. Backup configuration policy is very simple. Restoration process is vary easy. Tool deployment process is vary much easy. Replication is very easy. Instance recovery option is very useful for the server migration.Dashboard GUI is very desirable aslo.
CONSThere are no provision about the job priority. Queued backup jobs will come in running state when once running jobs will get completed. retention points and retention days might have little hard to understand.

Your Data Backup is Safe!
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.
PROSVeeam 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.
CONSIf you do not know the features of the program professionally, typical user error will occur and this will create negative feedback for you. You will get the maximum efficiency when installed together with the consultant.
Reasons for switching to Veeam Data Platform
Due to licensing issues, incomplete and incorrect backups, backup times, the occurrence of errors across platforms.

It allows us to easily and securely back up any kind of data.
Backup is critical, and we must constantly provide backup copies of our data in a safe and easily accessible place. Veeam has provided us with all the capabilities to help us efficiently manage and organize backup operations.
PROSVeeam provides sufficient flexibility to perform backup data operations quickly and safely. It can deal with all types of data, works with all kinds of servers efficiently, and thus contributes to making the backup process more stable and effective. Scheduling allows for scheduling backups and repeating them with high quality. It's excellent that Veeam provides everyone, even those who are inexperienced with information technology, to set up backup tasks themselves without the help of any help, as the settings can be easily prepared, the support teams provide the required assistance promptly, and Veeam also provides all the needed instructions with screenshots of all the steps Crunch to perform all functions as required.
CONSI had difficulty dealing with the user interface at first, but with time and after understanding the method of use correctly, navigating through the dashboard became very simple.

It saves and retrieves data securely like a real file server.
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.
PROSVeeem 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.
CONSWith Veeam, I have not encountered many downsides, as system failures are uncommon and easily remedied when they do occur.

Excellent backup solution for any SMB
Very fast recovery time for any DR solution.
PROSThe biggest pros of this backup solution is its diversity of platform which it can backup. Based on the license bought you can backup any VmWare or Hyper-V virtual machine but it also features a client that can be installed on any platform and can do the file level backup. The coolest feature is the restore where you can using the client do the restore within the machine itself and go back to all available restore points and have many version of the same file that you want to restore. It supports the backup of the SQL databases within the VM itself and it is also prefer for the backup of Microsoft Exchange as it can pull out for example only the desired email from any specific mailbox which is a big plus.
CONSThe solution it self is not cheap but it is justified with the professional support who, except contacting you via the email, also gives you a phone call if they dont get the replay from you any time soon. Other con is that it really requires a lot of HDD space, but then it is an enterprise level backup solution so this is self understandable.

Veeam exceeded my expectations
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.
PROSVeeam 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.
CONSIt 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.
Reasons for switching to Veeam Data Platform

Simply the Best
It has a lot of functionality beyond just backing up like creating virtual labs that you can run experiments on. Every time I needed to get back up and running it did a great job and was seamless. I really like instant restore feature.
PROSI 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.
CONSIt’s a little expensive up front for small companies. It’s also a little hard to do offsite backups without enterprise.

I can finally sleep well again
Having used several products in the past (NTBackup, Windows Backup, Backup Exec, Acronis, vRanger, Networker) I never really had the feeling that one of these products really is there for me when things get really worse. With Veeam I have a feeling that they got my back. I can finally sleep well again when I think about my clients and my data.
PROSI like very much that Veeam just works. Even when you install it without applying any further configuration (except what you really need, remote server and credentials) you end up with a proper backup. One of the best features is that the backup files are self contained. Even if you recover them from a broken backup server, or if your configuration is not working/readable/available again, you will be able to recover your stuff. The support is also great. While it could be a bit quicker in responses (for not very important tickets), they are doing a good job. I never had to escalate a ticket, every rep was very capable.
CONSIt is quite bloated. The download has several gigabytes, which is quite big for a backup software in my opinion.

Reliable cloud backup system
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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSThe 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.
