Veeam has secured a 2026 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice designation, reflecting strong approval from enterprise users of its data protection and backup offerings. The recognition is based on verified customer feedback, highlighting satisfaction with the company’s ability to deliver reliable backup, recovery, and data resilience solutions across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

The insights revealed that Veeam received an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5 based on 124 reviews as of Dec. 31, 2025. The company also said 98 percent of customers were willing to recommend its offerings, with 73 percent assigning 5-star ratings and 27 percent selecting 4-star ratings.

"Our customers' satisfaction is the ultimate indicator of how well we're doing,” said Tony Colon, chief customer officer. "Innovation is at the core of everything we do at Veeam, but our passion in delivering that innovation to meet customers' needs is unmatched. That focus and the trust it engenders is what has made us No. 1 in the market. Now, we are unifying those proven data resilience capabilities with data security to help customers accelerate safe AI at scale. Veeam is once again redefining the industry -- with our customers at the center."

The acknowledgment underscores Veeam’s continued momentum in the enterprise infrastructure market, where organizations are placing increasing emphasis on resilience against ransomware and downtime. Customer reviews cited consistent performance, ease of deployment, and responsive support as key factors behind the high ratings, reinforcing the vendor’s position in a competitive data protection landscape. The company combines data resilience, security and AI governance to enhance customer experience with the acquisition of Securiti AI and the launch of Agent Commander.

The company used the recognition to also note its position in Gartner's 2025 Magic Quadrant for Backup and Data Protection Platforms, where it was placed in the Leaders Quadrant for the ninth consecutive time and ranked highest for Ability to Execute for the sixth straight year.

Gartner disclaimer language included in the release says Peer Insights content reflects the opinions of individual end users and should not be construed as statements of fact or as Gartner endorsements.

For virtualization and cloud IT teams, the news is notable as another signal of how backup vendors are increasingly tying customer ratings, cyber resilience and AI-related governance into a single platform narrative spanning hybrid, multicloud and SaaS environments, which is how Gartner characterized the category.
