"Once you set it up, it works very well. You do not have to go back to reconfigure it– it is very easy to use"
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Office 365 are the ease of use and instant back and restore."
"The scalability is good."
"Veeam is affordable and end-to-end configuration is straightforward, whether you're going from source to destination or vice versa. Retrieval is also easy."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"One of the main features of the solution is it is easy to use."
"It is very simple to set up."
"I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites."
"I think the interface is straightforward"
"I like all of Veeam's features, but the most important ones are the tape backups and replication. Those are the two options available for us, and it's enough for our needs."
"It is cost-effective. A lot of times, people pick Veeam because of its price."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"While I do not recall whether the latest version is 10.0 or 11.0 I do know that it allows one to make a back up repository that is very scalable and simple."
"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
"I know it's not exactly a feature, but I accept it works and it's easy to use. With the Veeam Backup & Replication, we have no problems in managing restore. Obviously, the most important thing about backup software. I used to say that every backup software can make backups, but only good ones can make a restore."
"In terms of most valuable features, we are mostly using the Cloud Connect feature. It is flexible because you can use it on-prem and on cloud."
"The solution is costly."
"The solution announced many features two years ago, and they still have not happened, so I would hope that the next release has these ready to go."
"You can't really edit. For example, if you have created a backup for a user, you can't drill down on a granular level during the backup. You have to back up the mailbox completely. That's it. It would be helpful if you could at least go inside the mailboxes to choose what you want."
"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."
"Veaam Backup can be confusing for customers when they start trying to understand how to use the product in multiple environments."
"Pricing is an area for improvement, and I would rate it at five out of ten."
"While there really is nothing wrong with the product some small improvements in the interface could make it even easier to use."
"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."
"Occasionally, in the course of upgrading one's virtualization platform, the backup can be ruined."
"I think that Veeam could improve some performance issues when the backup itself is restored. I'm also using HPE StoreOnce, which has deduplication, and when I'm trying to test or run backups, it takes a lot of time. I think they could improve the testing for backup copies."
"The pricing could be better."
"The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."
"I would like them to move back to host licensing."
"The documentation and communication could be better in Veeam Backup Replication."
"Technical support can be improved."
"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."
