"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware.""Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one.""The technical support is good.""The most valuable feature is the instant restore option.""What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple.""The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward.""The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution.""The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."

Cons
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement.""The initial setup was complex.""It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups.""Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue.""Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup.""StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast.""The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."

More Arcserve UDP Cons →

"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra.""In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location.""It could use deduplication features.""It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network.""There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible.""The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable.""I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server.""Technical support could be improved."

  • "Normally our customers purchase the premium plus license, rather than the standard one, which provides more options."
  • "The price of this product is high and it should be lower."

  • "There is an annual license required for this solution and it is priced well."
