"Ability to restore to any host."

"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"The solution offers the normal benefits of a virtual machine versus a physical, actual machine. It doesn't take up space, for example."
"Integration with various applications, such as on-premises laptops and desktop backups, as well as applications and databases, is excellent."
"There are many valuable features, for example how Copy Job is controlling the band with accelerators. The Enterprise Manager is a valuable feature. There are many very useful features. We can push in the market, because we have an advantage over the other solutions."
"It is a straightforward solution. There is no need for a dedicated technical person to do the backup and replication. Veeam is very straightforward when it comes to doing the replication."
"This solution is very flexible and user-friendly — it's very good. It's very good with our virtual and physical infrastructure."
"It lets you verify a backup with the least amount of effort."
"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."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Stability."
"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"The backup and integration could be improved."
"Offering mobile apps that give engineers a global view of his backup regime would be a "nice to have" feature."
"The scalability of the product in large organizations is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The price is an issue. If one has a large number of servers, say... 100-plus, and wishes to add more, an exhausted budget may hinder this ability."
"There should be better use of the external hard drives."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by making the monitoring system free. If I would like to have any monitoring system by Veeam I have to purchase it. It should come free with the solution. They should provide a monitoring system to make the work easier and smooth."
"The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully."
"It would be ideal if users could know that their data is backed up and have some security functionality where you can actually use the backup to spin up a new cluster and take it from there."
