Pros
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine.""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.""The user interface is good.""The technical support is good.""The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward.""The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on.""The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."

"Veeam is affordable and end-to-end configuration is straightforward, whether you're going from source to destination or vice versa. Retrieval is also easy.""It has got all the features. You can restore a mailbox based on an email or a calendar or based on all the emails. A user can also get access to restore the mailbox.""The product is easy-to-use.""The solution provides good backup services for Microsoft 365.""The most valuable features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs.""The scalability is good.""The solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs.""The support offered by both Veeam and our third party supplier is excellent."

Cons
"The integration needs improvement.""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.""It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform.""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.""I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server.""The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced.""We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process.""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."

More Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] Cons →

"Veeam's performance is inconsistent.""A while back, I had some trouble using the agent. It might be a problem with older versions. Sometimes, I also have issues installing or making backups from the console to that type of operating system.""We use a yearly subscription. However, I believe the price could be lower.""The license pricing can be reduced.""While there really is nothing wrong with the product some small improvements in the interface could make it even easier to use.""The solution announced many features two years ago, and they still have not happened, so I would hope that the next release has these ready to go.""The solution could improve scalability, both in terms of more storage and users. These two attributes are quite important when you talk about good scalability.""Veaam Backup can be confusing for customers when they start trying to understand how to use the product in multiple environments."
