Pros
"It is easy-to-use.""The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations.""The features that I have found most valuable are that it is a cheaper price and user-friendly.""Creating a backup task in NAKIVO is fast and easy.""The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support.""You can have it setup and running within a few minutes.""The most important feature besides the easy management of the different backup jobs is the automated e-mail notification functionality.""The user interface is good, and it's user-friendly. I also like its usability with hyper-convergence products like Nutanix and others in the data infrastructure."

"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine.""It's stable and reliable.""The most valuable feature is the instant restore option.""It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company.""It's simple to use.""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.""The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly.""What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."

Cons
"At the moment I am pleased with what Nakivo does but I would like more reporting functions and if possible, integration with my RMM system.""The upgrade process is a bit dated and could use some changes.""I would love to see BackBlaze B2 implementation in the future, as that would be our preferred cloud destination, but Amazon and Wasabi are both very great choices in the meantime.""In the future, the solution should provide a more granular backup.""The interface can be a little clunky at times.""It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time.""It would be great if the product could be expanded to support other virtual technologies.""The backup speed needs improvement."

"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 has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network.""We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process.""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.""Technical support could be improved.""More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution.""It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though.""In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
