"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up not only to the cloud but also to your local environment so a copy of your data can be kept on-prem."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Office 365 are the ease of use and instant back and restore."
"The setup is very simple. It takes 15 minutes."
"Veeam Cloud Connect has helped us to reduce the cost of cloud storage for an offsite solution using their archive storage feature."
"The most valuable feature is the instant recovery."
"I have found one of the most valuable features to be the integrity of the backups."
"The most valuable feature is the internal recovery."
"The solution can work for companies no matter the size or scope."
"WAN Accelerator helps tremendously with replicating our data because we have a large chunk of data that gets replicated between our two facilities."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the new CDP features. It is very popular for my customer's needs."
"Veeam is quick, easy to work with, and its support for Microsoft products is good. They also provide adequate solutions for backing up Microsoft applications in the cloud, such as Office 365."
"The pricing model is unnecessarily confusing and could be simplified."
"It needs to be able to integrate with other emailing systems, like Linux."
"While there really is nothing wrong with the product some small improvements in the interface could make it even easier to use."
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."
"We use a yearly subscription. However, I believe the price could be lower."
"If you use a device to back up with compression and duplication, the solution doesn't work."
"You can't really edit. For example, if you have created a backup for a user, you can't drill down on a granular level during the backup. You have to back up the mailbox completely. That's it. It would be helpful if you could at least go inside the mailboxes to choose what you want."
"Veaam Backup can be confusing for customers when they start trying to understand how to use the product in multiple environments."
"The initial setup of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward. The process took approximately two days. The setup could be streamlined to take less time."
"If they could add more support for all of the modern hypervisors, that would make Veeam much better and more flexible to work with. For example, there is no solution for VM to VM replication when it comes to Oracle OEM servers."
"Needs better integration with cloud service providers."
"We have had problems with some jobs. For example, when we have a VM with a large SQL Database, sometimes we cannot adjust the time for transaction logs to back up and overlap time."
"In Linux, I suggest you backup for a PostgreSQL database."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It could be simpler to use."
"Restoration takes about two to four hours with Veeam. Zerto can restore in about 10 seconds. That's the restoration speed I'm looking for now that we're dealing with ransomware."
"It needs to support more applications. In terms of supported applications, Oracle SQL and Office 365 are supported, but I am not sure if it supports Linux-based applications. That's why I'm looking for an alternative. I am currently testing Commvault. The advantage of Commvault is that a lot of applications are supported with it. I am not sure if CIFS is currently supported. It would be nice to have this feature in case it is not already supported"
