"The platform's most valuable features include its backup functionality, particularly the snapshot and image backup capabilities."
"The most valuable features are the automated backup, and that you are able to manage all of your devices centrally."

"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"The product offers good stability."
"This covers the areas of backing up Office 365 that Microsoft does not include in its standard routine."
"It is very easy to integrate. You can do it very fast."
"It was easy to set up."
"Its ability to restore at the item level is very valuable. It is very strong at that. In the past, we had to restore a lot of data only for a couple of items. We can now restore an item as well as an email, which is good for productivity."

"In the solution, you have the customization option for reports but it is limited and should allow more customizations in terms of how long or when you can do the reports."
"I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The tool needs to have better protection. The tool should be also able to take backups while users are offline and upload to the cloud whenever the internet connection is restored or if there is a good bandwidth."
"The pricing policies could be improved. So in future releases of the product, I would like to see better pricing, primarily."
"There could be some changes done to the action page to simplify it."
"I don't see any room for improvement in the solution itself, but their marketing could be better. Dealers and customers aren't aware of this product or the company, so maybe they should concentrate more on marketing."
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."
"It requires quite an amount of infrastructure. You have to set up the instance, and you need to know quite a bit about Microsoft 365 authentication. For some customers, it is a challenge."
"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."
"Some additional training materials would be helpful."
"Its price could be improved."
"Currently, I'm working for Huawei and they dropped the support for Huawei, so that's an issue for us."
"The customer service and support response time can be improved."
"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."
