"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication."
"The installation was simple and provided an easy way to install even on Unix servers. It has excellent features like deduplication."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is definitely very useful and simple to learn, and the restoring processes are very straightforward, making it a very solid product."
"I'm satisfied with tech support, because the solution is so stable that I haven't had the need to engage any of the engineers yet."
"The direct SAN backup feature perfectly integrates with our 3PAR storage infrastructure."
"The product could be improved if they wrote more PowerShell scripts for controlling Veeam."
"It is a global major solution for quite a lot of people."

"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"We face challenges with its stability."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
"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."
"I would prefer it if the backup console did not require use of a specified program but rather that it could be opened from any website."
"If a single file is corrupt then the restoration of the entire backup will fail."
"The tech support could be better."
"The patching can be quite difficult at times."
"The parallel backup process from the Veeam server to Veeam has some limitations. The number of parallel backups should be increased and the compressional is very low. Sometimes it is half or one-third, but other backup solutions' compression levels are very high."
"Unfortunately, the software only runs on Windows."
"In terms of what could be improved, when creating a backup job with Veeam, you can create a daily backup, but it doesn't do it within that job. It does not give you the ability to also set the terms for monthly and/or weekly backups. It has to be a separate job. It gets clunky to manage the timeframes where you don't want a daily to run on this day and creating weeklies. And you don't want a daily to run on this day doing monthlies. That is hard to deal with. It would be really nice if you could do it through a single command line or a single interface."
