"One of the valuable features is the ability to restore a specific email. For example, if a user has deleted an email and they would like that particular email back we are able to restore it."
"The feature that I like the most is the system backup recovery from OneDrive."
"It is easy to use and easy to recover files."
"Veeam Is very useful for most environments and can scale up in most environments - such as Amazon or Azure."

"This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes."
"The license pricing can be reduced."
"We would like to have a single management console for all of our backups."
"If clients are backing up onto tape, Veeam's newest versions don't really deal with that."
"This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."
"We use a yearly subscription. However, I believe the price could be lower."
"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."
"The solution is costly."
"The recovery and integration features of Veeam Backup Replication could improve. For example, all VM integration could improve, such as with Hyper-V and VMware."
"The implementation was straightforward. However, we used an integrator, the process could be easier for us to do it ourselves."
"In the past, Veeam had a host-based license, but now it will be part of Microsoft's core license. I don't like this licensing model. Host-based licensing is better for my system. Maybe so other organizations prefer the core-based."
"Veeam Backup is not enhanced. There aren't any enhancements yet and they are still using traditional methods for snapshots and to perform the backup, like many other vendors. Another improvement would be simplifying and integrating their software."
"I would like to see the replication and a recovery plan of the servers in the cloud. It's very important."
"A backup and replication solution should be able to back up a system and do recovery very fast. Even though Veeam Backup & Replication is able to meet most of our needs, it would be better if they can make it faster for backup and restore."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups or snapshots. That's a nice functionality that Veeam doesn't have."
"The Veeam backup application interface is application-based and not web-based."
