"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues."
"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"This solution is stable."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It's simple to use."
"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 most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"Stability."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"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 price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
