"The initial setup is complex."
"Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment."
"Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself."
"The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle."
"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility."
"Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version of the tool."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"We have had problems with some jobs. For example, when we have a VM with a large SQL Database, sometimes we cannot adjust the time for transaction logs to back up and overlap time."
"The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."
"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."
"The implementation of the features can be improved. Currently, there is no segregation of duty. Normally, any backup software or client service software is implemented in a way where one person is responsible for the implementation of the server, and one is responsible for the client, but Veeam Backup & Replication is not implemented in that way. Therefore, restores don't work like that. The backup guys have to do the restores, which is not a good thing. Its pricing should also be improved. It is quite expensive."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say they could add automations for disaster migrations and for reverse replication. Overall, they need more automation."
"The replicating from Veeam Backup Replication to Azure cloud could be improved."
"Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved."
