"The initial setup is super easy."
"The recovery options in Microsoft 365 are not adequate and it does not help to recover data from the recycle bin that is older than 90 days. The solution has made us more efficient and helps to recover data that is older than 90 days."

"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."

"The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is that we can back up in-house and multiple cloud providers' storage."
"Before Veeam, we had backup infrastructure sprawl. Veeam was able to reduce our overall backup windows while reducing our dedicated backup infrastructure."
"Veeam Cloud Connect has helped us to reduce the cost of cloud storage for an offsite solution using their archive storage feature."
"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are it is easy to use and manage."
"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."
"Integration with various applications, such as on-premises laptops and desktop backups, as well as applications and databases, is excellent."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"The component in the product that can be improved revolves around the area where the tool should focus on providing more of a custom touch to the policies."
"I would like to see improvements in the tool's initial seed. The initial seed of around 10 TB of SharePoint data took 45 days to complete."
"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"The restoration could be faster."
"Some customers choose other backup solutions because AvePoint is Office 365 and CRM backup system, but they have other backup needs for Azure and so on. Such customers often choose another backup solution instead of AvePoint."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"Physical backup is always where room for improvement could be but Veeam has always stated they are not going in that direction."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having more comparably with other hardware with the immutable copy feature."
"There is room for improvement in the application backups, particularly for Oracle and SaaS systems. Veeam Backup & Replication offers a plugin specifically designed for Oracle and SAP HANA databases. In version twelve, they introduced enhancements that allow deploying the plugin from the backup server. However, manual configuration is still required on each server to schedule the backup and specify the backup repository. Additionally, transitioning from a Windows server to a Linux server requires converting the existing model. Previously, Veeam heavily relied on Windows and Microsoft SQL databases for their solution. Fortunately, in version twelve, they introduced an enhancement by offering the option to use a Postgres SQL database, which is an open-source alternative."
"They have an integration with MS SQL, and you have to license MS SQL. This is something they need to change. They should go for an open-source database or a free SQL because you're already buying this product, and you shouldn't have to buy another product."
"There's a situation where VMs run on different locks. It's running on the VM while having a relationship with nearby solutions running on the same server and storage. This creates a bottleneck that needs to be eliminated."
"The price can be better."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups. That is a functionality that Veeam does not provide."
"The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."
