"There are not many options available for AIX backup. They provide the agent for AIX, but it could be more mature."

"A feature I would like to see is universal restore. At the moment, restoration can only be smooth on the same hardware. Let's say you have a server and you back it up with Veeam Agent, in case it fails or crashes. If you later buy a new server because the same one isn't available on the market anymore, there's a high chance that Windows will not boot up if you restore from the Veeam backup because the hardware is now different. Acronis has the universal restore feature, so it will work with generic drivers and you can restore Windows in any dissimilar hardware. As far as I know, Veeam doesn't have this feature yet."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows could improve."
"I would like to have more flexibility in terms of reporting details about the backup."
"It is not always easy to update this solution to the newer version, so the update process needs to be improved."
"There really are no cons. The product simply has to maintain development to keep up with changes in the operating system."
