Featured Reviews

Rajesh  Makwana - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalable platform with good technical support services
The product's implementation process was good. During the trial license period of 14 days, customers could transition between products, such as from Barracuda to Proofpoint or vice versa, without experiencing significant delays. A few domains are sometimes denied access due to site parameters. Properly configuring these parameters and pre-implementing the necessary licenses helps avoid problems on the customer's side.

Provides efficient backup management and fast support response for Windows virtual machines
There is room for improvement in Veeam Backup for AWS regarding its pricing. There are alternative solutions available at a lower price. The product would benefit from adding more security features and improving compatibility with other operating systems like IBM AIX. Moreover, offering different licensing models, such as packages or perpetual licenses, other than subscription, could be advantageous.
