"The granular restoration that it provides for a business application is most valuable. For example, for Exchange, we can restore a single mailbox or email. We can also do SQL Server restoration and bare-metal recovery for operating systems."
"Veeam is highly scalable. In one scenario, we started with 2,000 users and scaled up to 24,000."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the recuperation of the weaker machines."
"The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V."

"This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."
"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."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud."
"We struggled to stabilize the application. We had an incident which resulted in a loss of data and have terminated this solution due to lack of support from the Veeam team."
"Lacks online training."
"I would like to see better features for exporting to cloud-based repositories."
"The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully."
"Occasionally, in the course of upgrading one's virtualization platform, the backup can be ruined."
"The replication functionality only works for VMware environments. Veeam has a backup agent for AIX operating systems, and we will like to see the replication functionality available for the AIX operating system. Additionally, if the backup functionality for AIX to be included in the Veeam console would be an advantage."
