"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management.""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 really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days.""It's stable and reliable.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console.""The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution.""The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files.""The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."

Cons
"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."

More Dell CloudBoost Cons →

"The pricing could be lowered if possible.""More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution.""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.""In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud.""There is a compatibility issue with HCI.""It could use deduplication features.""The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced.""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."
