"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues."

"Ability to restore to any host."

"Veeam Backup Replication is easy to use and has high performance. The backups are very fast. It's a complete solution that fulfills our current needs."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to restore the VMs into a test environment."

"I enjoy the ability to quickly search for VMs through the Veeam console."
"A quick-working solution that is very user friendly."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are very good."
"One of the most valuable features is the integration. Another good feature is the instant recovery."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"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."
"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup."
"We try to compare Veeam with other solutions because we are the operations. Then we can give the answers for improvement which is the specific additional system features that other solutions provide."
"There are certain solutions, such as Rubrik and Cohesity, that are little by little, taking market share. Veeam needs to be more aggressive to keep their dominance in the space."
"Could be improved with hybrid cloud integration backup."
"The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."
"It would be preferable if they could introduce a complete Linux version instead of relying solely on Microsoft for management. There should be a unified integration of all their products. Currently, there are various products like cloud backup and others that exist separately. It would be better if they could create a single comprehensive platform or product, as opposed to having disparate products that lack proper communication between them."
"The VMotion feature is not reliable enough to ensure a successful migration operation."
"The cost needs to be considered."
"It would be nice if it could be integrated with third-party solutions like ours. It has been supporting just Windows and virtual machines."
