"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."
"The solution is stable."
"One of the main features of the solution is it is easy to use."

"Technical support could be improved."
"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."
"The license pricing can be reduced."

"The implementation was straightforward. However, we used an integrator, the process could be easier for us to do it ourselves."
"We're using both Backup and Replication, Veeam Cloud Connect, and Veeam Office 365. What I am missing is a good graphical user interface between these three products."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."
"There needs to be more integration with VMware and the virtual machine."
