"Replication and restore object in Exchange boxes with possibility to select part of Microsoft directory."
"Veeam is highly scalable. In one scenario, we started with 2,000 users and scaled up to 24,000."
"One of the standout features of Veeam Backup & Replication is its exceptional restore capability, enabling users to recover their data seamlessly. Another valuable functionality is the automated verification of backup restorations, made possible through the Sure Backup feature.

"Currently, the newest release is not HCI friendly."
"I would like to see NetApp add incident support."
"Installation of the additional switches and ETP could be improved."
"I’ve found that I use command line more often than I thought needed. Some things should be done in the GUI, and command-line switches can be overwhelming and take up a lot of time."
"NetApp systems are somewhat more complex, though not excessively so. If you're transitioning from a Windows server environment to NetApp, get training or education; otherwise, you might struggle with this solution."
"We are not able to connect to the support of NetApp from Sudan. We have to go through many agents for support, which makes it difficult."
"The WAFL is slow."
"The price can be better."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."

"Veeam needs to have more support for non-Windows systems and other databases. For example, I can do SQL with Veeam but not Informix or Oracle. This is unfortunate because we have many partners with Oracle systems and Informix databases, and Veeam does not yet have the agents we need for specific Oracle and UNIX operating systems."
"The recovery and integration features of Veeam Backup Replication could improve. For example, all VM integration could improve, such as with Hyper-V and VMware."
"One challenge that we have encountered was on the long-term retention of data. Be sure to look into a dedicated deduplication appliance."
"In Linux, I suggest you backup for a PostgreSQL database."
