What are the best aspects of this product?

The system is easy to use and operate. You can upload a VM snapshot with ease for a single item and also for multiple items. Apart from that, it is easy to restore the files or items you have backed up in the system. The good thing about Veeam is that you can choose which specific files to restore or simply restore the entire system or server. It can restore SQL and also exchange depending on what you want to recover from the lost data. It is possible to customize the product depending on how fast you want the files to be backed up. This will help to save time and effort. You will also be notified if any of the files is not backed up into the system so that you can go back and correct that error for efficiency.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

It has issues just like any other tool out there in the market. Luckily they are minor, which means that we still get out the best out of the Veeam Availability Suite. I had problems with the exchange backup process where the databases connected to the system fail at times. When this happens, the entire process shuts down and you have to start all over again. Such failures only occur with the backups of exchange. With consistent failure of the process, you spend a lot of time restarting it, which can be annoying and time consuming. It would be better if such failures could be minimized during the backing up of exchange.

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

It has been of great help when it comes to backing up file servers. We do this in bulk with the help of Veeam Availability Suite. Every day, we can handle hundreds of servers and locate them with ease in that new location and restore them within a short period. It has allowed us to easily identify where and which file we want to restore. Using the restore point, we can complete this process and locate a single or multiple files and restore them to where we want them to go. Veeam has come out as a reliable tool when my file servers were infected by the crypto virus. I was able to restore those files as they were already backed up.
