"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic.

Cons
"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.""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.""The integration needs improvement.""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.""More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution.""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.""There is a compatibility issue with HCI.""The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."

More Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] Cons →

"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept.""The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication.""I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases.""The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other.""Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases.""We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people.""We need the solution to offer IT storage.""The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
