"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"It is almost perfect for Microsoft products. It is not a very powerful tool, but it is okay for small sites and small businesses with Microsoft products. It is easy to use for backup and restore. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers such as Exchange and SharePoint servers."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"The solution is meeting all of our client's requirements. It has good performance."
"User-friendly data backup and protection solution for a Windows environment. The Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is very scalable, stable, and has good compatibility and integration."
"Application awareness is very good and the speed of this solution is good."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is application availability, which allows us to monitor all agents and accounts."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a VMware environment."
"Veeam helps to create a stable environment with virtual servers."
"We found the initial setup to be quite simple."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"It would be better if it integrated seamlessly with open source and competitor products. In the next release, I would like to see some data governance frameworks. It should have support features for data integration and data replication like Veeam. Right now, we are also using Veeam for certain scenarios."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"I am not very impressed by the technical support I received when I had an issue."
"A feature I would like to see is universal restore. At the moment, restoration can only be smooth on the same hardware. Let's say you have a server and you back it up with Veeam Agent, in case it fails or crashes. If you later buy a new server because the same one isn't available on the market anymore, there's a high chance that Windows will not boot up if you restore from the Veeam backup because the hardware is now different. Acronis has the universal restore feature, so it will work with generic drivers and you can restore Windows in any dissimilar hardware. As far as I know, Veeam doesn't have this feature yet."
"The compression ratio and application ratio could still be improved in this solution. Reporting could also be improved, for better monitoring."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should improve by having more features, easier deployment, and compatibility with Unix boxes."
"I can't think of anything that may be missing."
"If you are doing an AIX backup then you have to use the CLI because it doesn't appear on the console, the way that Windows and Linux jobs do."
"Maybe in the future, they could do something better with the user interface and the performance, but so far it's a really good, efficient solution."
"The support could be improved a lot, as it is currently non-existent."
