"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are ease of use, dashboards, and reporting."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a great alternative to what is out there. Some of the backups just allow an agent backup to the cloud. You can back up a thousand different ways, but this is a great way to keep a customer and a company in compliance in that they've got their data secure onsite and offsite. The data being transferred to the NAS at the customer's location and also the data being sent to the cloud is encrypted in transit and it's also encrypted at rest so that nobody is going to be able to hack into that. No one will have the keys to do that."
"Veeam Cloud Connect has helped us to reduce the cost of cloud storage for an offsite solution using their archive storage feature."
"This is very user-friendly."
"Replication is the most valuable feature."
"The solution does a good job with VM backups."
"Very flexible, all-in-one solution."
"The ability to offload backup snapshots to the SAN helps with reducing the backup durations."
"You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively."
"It requires much more automation features."
"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve security."
"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"The only improvement I could think of is it could be cheaper—cheaper is always good. Sometimes the product is just finished. Cheaper is always nice for the customer, but the company needs to benefit so that they can keep maintaining the product. New Windows versions, etc., always take some work. At the moment, I wouldn't switch to another solution because of the money."
"The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."
"We struggled to stabilize the application. We had an incident which resulted in a loss of data and have terminated this solution due to lack of support from the Veeam team."
"One challenge that we have encountered was on the long-term retention of data. Be sure to look into a dedicated deduplication appliance."
"The ability to do more backups should be addressed."
"The data duplication should be improved."
"I don't see much room for improvement except that the price could be better."
"If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."
