Easy to migrate data servers to a new location

What are the best aspects of this product?

It has really made my work easier. With the added features such as the Scaleout backup, I can now eliminate some of the extra work or tasks I had to put in due to the limitations that come with the VMware. It is possible to backup data in a location that is different from my main server and VCenter. With such flexibility fin securing data, I have nothing to complain about. At the end of the day, I am assured that my file servers are well taken care of in case of anything that would result to the damage of the servers. Another good thing about the Veeam is that it integrates well with VMware which compliments to its function.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

It has problems that I would like to point out. Despite its dedication to make sure that file servers are backed up and disaster recovery is well taken care of, it seems to be slow when you are dealing with larger files. It proved to be difficult to increase that speed of replication even when I used a larger bandwidth. Apart from that, there is no way to reduce the RAM the Veeam is utilizing while backing up data into the system. As a result, it takes all the space for other operations which can be disappointing. Also, it lacks adequate information on how to deal with minor issues that you experience while using this tool. It would be better if it was well documented to help users solve such issues on their own.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

It was what we wanted for a long time searching. Veeam integrates well with the VMware and that is where we are at right. We were striving to achieve better disaster recovery and backup solutions for our data. With the help of this product, we have been able to do that. For the part where we solved business problems using this tool, we were able to easily migrate our datacenter to a new location. This product made that easy for us as it was fast and everything was in place. The entire file servers and data we successfully migrated and we did not experience major downtimes in the process.
