"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is reliable and easy to use."
"Technical support in Veeam is good."
"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the WAN accelerator. This feature allows for large amounts of data from one location to another. If the bandwidth in the environment is slow it makes the transfer slow but the WAN accelerator feature helps speed the transfer."
"This covers the areas of backing up Office 365 that Microsoft does not include in its standard routine."
"The most valuable feature is the built-in integration with Office 365, which helps us protect email accounts and servers. We use it on virtual servers on the cloud with Azure, or we can use an agent on physical servers."
"I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites."
"The solution provides good backup services for Microsoft 365."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is that we can back up in-house and multiple cloud providers' storage."
"If you have a lot of central sites and remote sites, you can easily set up the replication and make it easier."
"It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable."
"Replication is the most valuable feature."
"Strong performance with a high level of compatibility."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The ntegration of physical agents with our cloud connect service is positive."
"There are many valuable features, for example how Copy Job is controlling the band with accelerators. The Enterprise Manager is a valuable feature. There are many very useful features. We can push in the market, because we have an advantage over the other solutions."
"It's a new product. It's not mature."
"The license pricing can be reduced."
"It would be beneficial to implement a mechanism that allows for more efficient input processing, such as recognizing the first capital letter of an email account."
"The solution is costly."
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."
"They should include some more options to send alerts in existing monitoring software."
"It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem."
"When you add a new site for backup, it gives you a notice that there is a new site, but the way you select that and configure that could be slightly better. It works, but it is not always very clear. For example, for the URL, you need to hover over the title or the name of the site. You should see it immediately on the screen. It should have a better user interface for selecting what you want to back up so that you get a more clear overview of the sites that are there and the ones that you want to combine in a backup. Its user interface should be more user-friendly. It has a lot of scrolling and doesn't give you a complete overview when needed. That's the main thing why it is not very user-friendly. It should have a better user interface."
"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."
"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."
"CDP also requires a lot of development, because there are a lot of restrictions now for CDP. There is a chance to improve CDP and make it much easier for the customers."
"Device backup could be improved."
"The pricing could 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 patching can be quite difficult at times."
"Veeam doesn't have the reporting part quite right. Its data visualization isn't as slick as other solutions like Veritas. For example, in Veritas, you can see a calendar that shows you which days are backed up. Veeam lacks features like that."
