"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is the ease of use."

"We have good data backup coverage."
"The policy-based backup feature is very helpful."
"Compared to a homemade installation, this appliance is very stable."
"They are a large company with good best practices, and they give good support."
"The tool's most valuable feature is recovery."
"This is a good backup interconversion solution because all the masters and the targets backups are on the same system. It is easy to administrate for a single point of access for clients."
"I would like to see a storage application in the next version of the product."
"The licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better."
"The pricing could be better."
"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."
"The whole graphical user interface is very easy, but the details are hidden deeply and aren't easily visible. You cannot easily see the details and explore or choose the settings. We should be able to easily explore various settings and options. If you can see more details while choosing the settings or setting it up, it helps in getting the software running easily. For example, in Microsoft Office, you can see much more in the interface than in Veeam Backup & Replication. It is a complex software. It is not easy to use, and you must know what to do and where to do. The user manual has more than a thousand pages. They should give some direct information through the software and improve the software. On their website, they can have some videos and step-by-step information to make us come straight to our goals."
"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."
"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."
"The backup and integration could be improved."
"The hybrid model is not that efficient if we want to off-site data; it takes a lot of time to upload the data on a regular basis."
"The only drawback for NetBackup, and of course for Veritas, is that they have stuck to the same environment and to the same UI - User Interface. This needs to be improved in future releases. It needs to be more dynamic."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."
"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
"The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk."
"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration and security."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve by having a site recovery feature."
