"Veeam helps to create a stable environment with virtual servers."
"The solution is very affordable for small businesses."
"Veeam is very useful for the Hyper-V environment."
"I love Veeam because it is very easy to work with."
"It is good and easy to use for backing up physical servers. It is working fine, and it is stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the continuous backup."
"The most valuable feature is how reliable Veeam Backup is. It has the normal expected features that allow you to ensure that everything is backed up completely."
"It's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far."
"Its portability and being able to back up between different platforms are the most valuable features."
"I'm satisfied with tech support, because the solution is so stable that I haven't had the need to engage any of the engineers yet."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"We get a lot of features with Veeam and we are happy to use this solution. After shutdown, the servers here automatically turn off and Veeam is keeping up all this. It's tension free work."
"Veeam is the gold standard for backup and recovery. The ease of use and reliability of this solution are real assets. Also, it has an ease of use to work with a third party vendor."
"The interface for this solution is excellent, and it is easy to restore files compared to other solutions."
"The solution is very scalable. Whenever we grew, it was just a matter of adding new licenses, so it's easy to grow."
"It is a good backup tool."
"I like that Backup Exec integrates with Microsoft Exchange. We can retrieve backups from the email boxes."
"The product allows for versatile storage options, enabling users to store data on disk storage, NAS storage, or tape libraries."
"Once the solution is integrated with the Exchange, you just click Exchange to back up that file."
"Good open file option feature, SQL agent, and EM agent."
"The disk-to-disk paid backup feature is quite good, and file locking is a very important feature."
"Some customers have Oracle databases and Veeam does support back up of Oracle databases."
"I would like to have a more automated installation process."
"There are not many options available for AIX backup. They provide the agent for AIX, but it could be more mature."
"An area that this solution could be improved would be with the licensing."
"The backups can go slow."
"We need some sort of security for backups and archives."
"It fulfills our needs in terms of features. In terms of improvements, they can maybe improve its documentation."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved."
"I have issues with the licensing."
"I would like to see the licensing model improved. They have recently changed the model and have made it more complicated."
"Veeam needs to have more support for non-Windows systems and other databases. For example, I can do SQL with Veeam but not Informix or Oracle. This is unfortunate because we have many partners with Oracle systems and Informix databases, and Veeam does not yet have the agents we need for specific Oracle and UNIX operating systems."
"The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."
"In terms of what could be improved, when creating a backup job with Veeam, you can create a daily backup, but it doesn't do it within that job. It does not give you the ability to also set the terms for monthly and/or weekly backups. It has to be a separate job. It gets clunky to manage the timeframes where you don't want a daily to run on this day and creating weeklies. And you don't want a daily to run on this day doing monthlies. That is hard to deal with. It would be really nice if you could do it through a single command line or a single interface."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"The documentation and communication could be better in Veeam Backup Replication."
"The integration with SaaS applications like Office 365 needs to be improved."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Firstly, the GUI for 2014 is mostly confusing, i.e., if you need to add any additional technical features, then it doesn't require a change to the GUI."
"The cost is quite high. Along with the general costs, the supposed agents that you have to buy for the various options that you want to use ends up driving the costs higher as well."
"The scalability could be improved even though the solution is targeted to small customers."
"There needs to be an integration process of the endpoint devices so that we don't have to redo everything for different products."
"It is currently missing the dynamic backup feature for virtual machines, which is available in NetWorker. I can create politics in NetWorker to add virtual machines with specific tags, but I cannot do this in Backup Exec, which is a minus point for me. Currently, a user has to send a request to the Backup administrator to add a machine to the backup, but I should be able to create rules to automatically add a new machine to the backup. This kind of functionality is very important in current times, especially when we are using cloud solutions. I should be able to create more than one stream in a policy and specify how many streams I want to run in parallel in one policy. Currently, I have to manually create more policies to backup more than one virtual machine at the same time. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"It's not too stable for client-server architecture. Center Management is not so interactive, and then there are some issues regarding the complex licensing which needs improvement."
