Cons

"The initial setup is complex."

"The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle."

"Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version of the tool."

"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility."

"Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself."

"Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment."

"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."

"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."

"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."

"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."

"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."

"They could be more customer-friendly."

"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."

"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
