"Replication and restore object in Exchange boxes with possibility to select part of Microsoft directory."
"The pricing of the solution is fair."
"It is a flexible, simple, and scalable software-based solution. It has agentless functionality with specific hypervisors and agent-based functionality with specific operating systems. It gives you the flexibility to use your own hardware and back up physical Windows, Linux, IBM AIX, and Oracle Solaris systems as well as VMware VMs, Hyper-V VMs, and Nutanix VMs from one console. It also has integration with major applications that most companies are using, such as Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. It has integrations, not just for the backup on the image, host layer, or hypervisor, but also for performing an application-consistent backup. It is helpful in backing up to the tape, cloud, DR site, etc. It is really flexible. It is really amazing that you can restore any backup on VMware, Azure, or AWS. As compared to the other solutions in the market. Veeam has really integrated a lot in the past years. It has the best performance and perfect replication."

"The most valuable features are the backup and disaster recovery services."
"The implementation was straightforward. However, we used an integrator, the process could be easier for us to do it ourselves."
"The ability to do more backups should be addressed."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say they could add automations for disaster migrations and for reverse replication. Overall, they need more automation."
"The documentation and communication could be better in Veeam Backup Replication."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."
"The stability for AIX machines could be better."
"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."

"The automation should be simplified or improved."
"It would be ideal if they added advanced analytics or AI to the solution."
"When starting up the replication and converting it to the virtual machine I had some problems. I had to start the process again and that is inconvenient."
