Cons
"The tool is not user-friendly.""The virtual machine backup is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."

More Bareos Cons →

"They can provide a dashboard for sizing. This feature might get included in the next release.""The documentation for the installation is good. However, if you are new to the environment the installation could be difficult. The first time we did it it took approximately four days.""It's hard to predict the usage on the storage. I need to make some estimates for customers in terms of how much storage will be needed on the cloud, and this is always tricky. It would be helpful if they could help us estimate storage or simplify the estimation portion.""When using Veeam Backup for Office 365 when there is a server that's running, I have to have a hard drive installed on it. For example, if I want to use another storage solution, I can't incorporate it very well. If I want to use SMB or other protocols I cannot use them with the Veeam Backup for Office 365. They have the support in the other Veeam Backup and Restore solutions, but it doesn't support it in this solution. Hopefully, in the future, they figured it out.""It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem.""Veeam is quite expensive.""They should improve the backup and restoration time.""Technical support could be improved."
