"Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."
"Very flexible, all-in-one solution."
"A quick-working solution that is very user friendly."
"What I like most about this solution are the simplicity and the price-performance ratio."
"The solution is very easy to deploy."
"It's hard to predict the usage on the storage. I need to make some estimates for customers in terms of how much storage will be needed on the cloud, and this is always tricky. It would be helpful if they could help us estimate storage or simplify the estimation portion."
"We have found that there is a limitation in this solution where it only takes the backup of users who are using Office 365 Enterprise email IDs. We have many users in management and approximately 50 other users who are using Office 365 of which Veeam is able to capture the backup. However, for the other users who are on the local email server at that time, the solution is not able to capture the backup."
"When using Veeam Backup for Office 365 when there is a server that's running, I have to have a hard drive installed on it. For example, if I want to use another storage solution, I can't incorporate it very well. If I want to use SMB or other protocols I cannot use them with the Veeam Backup for Office 365. They have the support in the other Veeam Backup and Restore solutions, but it doesn't support it in this solution. Hopefully, in the future, they figured it out."
"While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution."
"They don't have native integration with deduplication of storage."
"The pricing model is unnecessarily confusing and could be simplified."
"If Veeam could offer backup as a service for data backup and recovery, that would be great. We'd like something like what Druva is offering at the moment."
"When you are working in the Cloud security is very important."
"The Veeam backup application interface is application-based and not web-based."
"It needs to offer an automatic check for backups."
"Lacks online training."
"I would like to see the licensing model improved. They have recently changed the model and have made it more complicated."
"A backup and replication solution should be able to back up a system and do recovery very fast. Even though Veeam Backup & Replication is able to meet most of our needs, it would be better if they can make it faster for backup and restore."
"The direct SAN backup integration can be perfected by improving the snapshot removal mechanism and process from the storage volumes."
"During the initial setup especially, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"The data duplication should be improved."
