"Get only one interface to manage all backup sites, secure them with replication, and manage outside LTO media."
"Acronis may claim it's due to security reasons, but I believe there should be an option to delete specific files from old backups stored on the Acronis Cloud. Currently, there is no such feature, and I strongly feel the need for a deletion option for erroneous backups."

"Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing."
"I faced some problems with the solution's local sign-in part."
"The pricing policies could be improved. So in future releases of the product, I would like to see better pricing, primarily."

"The ease of use could be improved, but I don't have a very deep amount of experience in Veeam, so it's difficult to say what could be improved."

"The Veeam backup application interface is application-based and not web-based."
"The endpoint protection console is not centralized."
"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."
"It needs to offer an automatic check for backups."
"The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."
"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."
