"Their GUI has improved quite a bit. It's made the solution a lot simpler and less complex."
"It provides our customers with the comfort of having reliable enterprise data protection."
"With data deduplication and compression, we are reducing our overall storage footprint for our disk histories. Therefore, we are reducing the actual cost of the disk for our data protection and data backups."
"A robust tool which allows us to backup pretty much any environment, virtual or physical."
"It scales from very small to very large. It is easily the most scalable product out there."
"Instead of taking three different backups of your systems, you're taking only one. You're able to crack that open and get what you need. The incident recovery, where it creates the VM and then you're running it, technically you're running it on Spectrum Protect. But then in the background, it's doing the storage motion and moving it off the Spectrum Protect back to your VMware environment. The users don't know the difference."
"The archiving feature is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"Because of the flexible parameters, everything can be fine-tuned to the customers’ needs in their environment."
"User-friendly data backup and protection solution for a Windows environment. The Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is very scalable, stable, and has good compatibility and integration."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to navigate inside a backup point to look for a specific folder or data you want to recover."
"Veeam is very useful for the Hyper-V environment."
"It is a stable solution."
"If you have windows machine at home and you'd like a backup, you can always download their free edition and plug in an external hard disk, and do a full backup of your laptop."

"One of the valuable features is the instant recovery for VMs. It reduces the RTO (Recovery Time Objective) drastically."
"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."
"The product provides automated and faster data backup and recovery compared to other vendors."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"Synthetic backup is valuable. It gives you the possibility to do a synthesized backup, which means that it combines a full backup and incremental backup data and gives it to you in one stream. So, you don't have to restore the full backup and then later go and restore the incremental backup. You can do that in one go."
"The product makes it easy to restore data."
"In terms of features, they've got it all covered. The features they have are quite good. The only downside to it is that it is for an enterprise or big organization. In my opinion, it is not for a small business."
"A lot of my customers always ask for legal holds, especially on email."
"Replication of data could be more user friendly."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of use - the GUI is not up to the mark compared to other products in the market."
"I find the solution somewhat difficult to use with virtual environments or VMware."
"Better integration with other tools and databases is needed."
"This solution is not mature in terms of disaster recovery and could be improved."
"My customers are not always happy with the Level 1 support. Sometimes, it just takes too long for the response to come, which is probably something that needs to be addressed."
"The support could be improved a lot, as it is currently non-existent."
"I've found a lot of difficulties on the initial setup and especially in terms of credentials. We really need a Window OS. It doesn't like the domain admin account. it's a primary permission issue."
"The compression ratio and application ratio could still be improved in this solution. Reporting could also be improved, for better monitoring."
"In the next release, I would like to see it easier to implement."
"Maybe in the future, they could do something better with the user interface and the performance, but so far it's a really good, efficient solution."
"I would like to see the ability for incremental backups and reverse backups."
"Troubleshooting is very hard."
"The solution lacks instant recovery."
"There are some issues with the Backup Exec Library and the random picking of tapes."
"The integration with SaaS applications like Office 365 needs to be improved."
"The solution could improve by having better documentation."
"Expanding is difficult because if I want to add, for example, a terabyte of data, then I have to buy a disk shelf and it will cost me a lot."
"They could include backup functionality for enterprise environments."
