Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for Azure

We use Veeam Backup for Azure more for a storage repository. It helps with cost because the cost of storage for a Rack of drives cost more than cloud storage on Azure. It reliable and very quick to recall data as needed. Also, you can get results realtime. This solution seem to be better than the AWS solution. Both were easy to setup.

Pros

  • Easy setup
  • Integrates well with on prim solution
  • Migration from on prim to cloud was seemless

Cons

  • Integration into Veeam for Azure without logging into Azure
  • One place to view volumes
  • One place to configure/Delete backups/view backups for Azure
  • Time of having to fix missing backups due to storage has gone down
  • Time monitoring backups to make sure the run gone down
  • Business loss or not being able to perform DR exercises also went down
It was so easy that you thought it wasn't working. Once you saw data and was able to recover it or do a restore with the product those beliefs in the system went to the roof. Once you get a product that does everything you want it to do, you will give it it's props.

When migrating from on Prim to AWS then to AZure the process was a little challenging because of some of the way we configured up front but once we went from AWS to Azure it was no looking back. We didn't have the extra storage to move things around like most companies to but it worked out great and we were also able to store more cold backups on Azure due to the low cost of cold storage.
