"Client deduplication."
"All the features in the system are highly valuable."
"Scheduling is valuable. It does a good job of backing up, and it does a good job of restoring. Nobody has got a problem with that. The agents are well supported."
"The deduplication feature is the best aspect of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Data Domain and your VM stacks."
"Quick incremental backups and product replication are the two highlights of the product. Once you capture a full backup, incrementals are pretty quick. It is fairly efficient from that perspective."
"Its stability and deduplication capabilities are most valuable."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The ntegration of physical agents with our cloud connect service is positive."
"Very flexible, all-in-one solution."
"The product is very simple in its design. We don't need it to perform complicated tasks."
"My customers find the backup and recovery ease of use is the most beneficial feature."
"The advantage of Veeam Backup and Replication is that it is very economical. The price is affordable and the cost benefit is good."
"Enables us to restore the VM when the needs arises and for disaster recovery."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to restore the VMs into a test environment."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a great alternative to what is out there. Some of the backups just allow an agent backup to the cloud. You can back up a thousand different ways, but this is a great way to keep a customer and a company in compliance in that they've got their data secure onsite and offsite. The data being transferred to the NAS at the customer's location and also the data being sent to the cloud is encrypted in transit and it's also encrypted at rest so that nobody is going to be able to hack into that. No one will have the keys to do that."
"The challenges we do face typically revolve around aligning specific features with our accustomed tool usage."
"The initial setup is a bit complex and could be simpler."
"Backup image browse times should be faster."
"The UI is quite old. We've been using this UI since last year, and they haven't changed it. It would be better to update the UI periodically and create attractive dashboards from an administrative point of view."
"Dell hasn't done a good job at handling these upgrades, or the way EMC used to handle them."
"Setting up Avamar wasn't so easy, and we had a partner doing the installation for us. Though it was hard at first, it's getting better. The main difficulty was finding plugins for Oracle Database. It took some time to open a ticket with Dell, but everything was fine after that."
"The reporting should be improved, as we currently have to use another tool for that purpose."
"The recovery is a bit slow."
"The solution could always be more easily scalable."
"If you do not use the standard software and you go with a third-party solution such as this one, it might not work the same. There is an integration issue I understand between the database standards."
"Limited support for environments other than VMware or Microsoft."
"The virtual sandboxes seem complex to setup, so I have not invested time in leveraging this feature. It would be nice if this feature was more user-friendly."
"The tech support could be better."
"They need a better solution for backend storage."
"The cloud backups from Veeam Backup Replication have not been good. Addiotnaally, the backups of Office 365 and the overall performance can always be improved."
"The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper."
"Veeam Backup & Replication should include a cloud solution."
