"Veeam Backup Replication has good performance and can do location-to-location backups. Additionally, it is user-friendly and easy to manage."
"The features I find most valuable are probably the VMware snapshot backups and the Veeam replication. Their replication is very good. It can easily be used for disaster recovery in a number of situations."
"Instant Backup is an useful feature."
"It is a stable and scalable solution that's easy to operate and restore."
"With Replication, Veeam allows us to have a duplicated VM on standby."
"The solution is stable and the performance is good."
"We have evaluated other solutions but Veeam is the best for virtualization."
"The tool is fast and trustworthy."
"Veeam Data Platform manages and protects data across multiple cloud environments amazingly."
"Continuous Data Protection is a game-changing technology."
"Its interface is designed to be intuitive and it also offers seamless integration with VMware storage, additionally enhancing its ease of use."
"The platform has a useful disaster recovery feature."
"I think Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is an excellent solution for ensuring user-side disaster recovery. It involves a platform on-premise, which can be replicated to another site. It's a very effective solution, and we prioritize both the FTO and the FTO."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of deployment, its many interesting functions, and its good performance for both backup and restoration."
"Veeam Data Platform offers features specifically designed for ransomware defense."
"All our customers would like a cheaper license and more flexible deployment."
"In the past, Veeam had a host-based license, but now it will be part of Microsoft's core license. I don't like this licensing model. Host-based licensing is better for my system. Maybe so other organizations prefer the core-based."
"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."
"think backing up from physical servers and ransomware security needs some improvements."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud."
"I would like to see more broad support for other applications such as databases, or other operating systems."
"The cloud part of it can be improved. There should be an option for Veeam in your own cloud, as compared to the Veeam cloud offering that's currently there. The rest of it is easy."
"Its licensing needs to be improved. Its licensing has become complex since last December. They have changed the way the product is licensed, and there is a lot of confusion. Sometimes, when a new version comes, it seems that it has not been tested enough because I usually find some bugs in it. It could also have more integration with other virtualization products, such as desktop virtualization products and open-source virtualization products."
"Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools."
"The cost of the product is an area that would prevent me from using it in the future."
"Regarding managing LQ or Liberty delivery, there was no system initially; it was solely for backing up Vista Disc. I suggested enhancing this option. However, my experience with Dibree was unsatisfactory. I recommended adding Azure for EBMI XPower backup and incorporating SolarWinds for end-of-month risk processes, which were not part of the initial solution."
"The solution's pricing may be expensive compared to other products."
"Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement."
"SureBackup is sometimes a bit difficult to use."
"They could offer a hardware appliance as a comprehensive, full-stack solution."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
