Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of installation it provides its users.""The main benefit of the product is its backup feature."

More Bareos Pros →

"Continuous Data Protection is a game-changing technology.""Veeam Data Platform manages and protects data across multiple cloud environments amazingly.""One of the newest features in version 12.1 is malware detection. This feature allows the software to detect malware before initiating a backup job for a server. Although I haven't had the opportunity to personally try it out due to its recent release, I came across it while working on an environment in a cluster for a customer.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""Veeam Data Platform offers features specifically designed for ransomware defense.""The solution's recovery process is very smooth.""It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well.""The tool's stability is good."

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

More Bareos Cons →

"Regarding managing LQ or Liberty delivery, there was no system initially; it was solely for backing up Vista Disc. I suggested enhancing this option. However, my experience with Dibree was unsatisfactory. I recommended adding Azure for EBMI XPower backup and incorporating SolarWinds for end-of-month risk processes, which were not part of the initial solution.""Setting up for my case was completely different. There were some product-level bugs that caused a lot of challenges for Veeam Data Platform. So, it took a while.""It would be nice if the solution scanned for malware in the backups.""Veeam is not in SaaS right now.""Veeam does image-based backups, whether it be of virtual machines or physical workloads, and they are able to back up general applications like Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. Sometimes, even Oracle and SAP. But still, there are many customers using other types of databases that Veeam does not natively support. For example, in the Linux area, MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported, but with many limitations. Like, if a customer is running a Postgres cluster, Veeam does not support that.""It would be beneficial if it could expand its coverage to support Frostbox and provide greater flexibility for service providers to recommend backup solutions based on customer preferences in prospective environments.""Veeam Data Platform needs to improve data backup for Oracle admin. It needs to improve its stability.""Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools."
