"The compression, because it drastically reduces the disk space."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."
"The solution is very simple. Management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution."
"The technical support is good."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"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."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection."
"Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason."
"I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
"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."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
