I haven't used WSB for restore of VMs, but have used it to restore physical boxes and it works great, even if Domain Controllers that are part of a larger server environment. Microsoft DPM also works really good too, both for VMs and Physical boxes. Doing BMR backups is very handy. The only downside I've seen so far with either is that the documentation is poor and error messages, when they occur are sketchy at best. I've also used PHD Virtual for VM backups (much like Veeam it using snapshotting too) and it's awesome.
