Cons
"The integration needs improvement.""It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform.""The pricing could be lowered if possible.""The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced.""The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable.""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.""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.""In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."

More Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] Cons →

"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept.""We need the solution to offer IT storage.""The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other.""The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement.""It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is. For instance, in the enterprise version, we can only use one accelerator with the cloud provider. It means if I have my Cloud Connect, I cannot connect another site of mine with another cloud connect and use an accelerator of Veeam. They should change this.""If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive.""The security of encrypted data could be better.""Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
