"The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."

More IBM Tivoli CDP for Files Pros →

"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one.""It's stable and reliable.""The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console.""What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple.""The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on.""The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution.""The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."

Cons
"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."

"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process.""The integration needs improvement.""There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible.""One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra.""The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable.""In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well.""It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network.""There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
