"The solution should improve its tape-connectivity features."
"The management of this solution is a little bit difficult for IT administrators. They have to be trained before going through the system."

"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side.

There are workarounds, though."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."

"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"It could use deduplication features."
