"Intelligent agent technology."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"The web interface is user-friendly, clean, and it provides a good summary of what you're protecting at a glance."
"The file search feature across all backups has been helpful."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. It is a very simple system compared to just about any other back up technology. It is extremely easy to use and very versatile."
"The live mounting and compatibility of different operating systems is great."
"The archiving, off-of-box, is awesome. It lets you put your data where you want it and gives you the peace of mind of having more than one copy of it. And it's smart about the way that it does the archiving. It doesn't just copy one-for-one. It does all of its processing of the deduplication and compression before it sends it off to the archive, which helps with our cloud costs."
"The solution is easy to use. It's very simple and clients find it very easy to find all objects and things they need with the Veeam Explorer."
"The solution is stable."
"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."
"The scalability is good."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 has good security, and I also like the process they use for backups."
"It is very simple to set up."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Teams environment."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"There is room for improvement through a further extension of their Office 365 backup platform. In addition, it's still a bit cost-prohibitive to backup NAS. Those would be the two primary areas for improvement."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is difficult, and deciphering the logs without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
"Needs integration with video CD (coming in the next release) and a multi-tenant GUI."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"Capacity reports could definitely be improved. It's hard to determine what is using the space and why. For instance, you can see that some host is using 2 TB on the Rubrik node and the disk space on that host is 400 GBs. It's hard to explain how there can be 2 TBs of data on local storage when nothing has changed on the host for the past three days."
"There could be better reporting and better filtering."
"A while back, I had some trouble using the agent. It might be a problem with older versions. Sometimes, I also have issues installing or making backups from the console to that type of operating system."
"Veeam is quite expensive."
"Veaam Backup can be confusing for customers when they start trying to understand how to use the product in multiple environments."
"The pricing model is unnecessarily confusing and could be simplified."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by adding more features with Microsoft teams. We have many files that we are working on with Microsoft teams and there should be more integration and features."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by reducing the time it takes for backups. I have mentioned this to Veeam and hopefully, in the next version, it will be a faster backup."
"It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem."
"The solution needs to introduce more features."
