"The initial setup process is simple."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"Technical support is quite good."
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"In terms of most valuable features, we are mostly using the Cloud Connect feature. It is flexible because you can use it on-prem and on cloud."
"The good thing about Veeam is that its initial setup and usage are straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is how reliable Veeam Backup is. It has the normal expected features that allow you to ensure that everything is backed up completely."
"Veeam Is very useful for most environments and can scale up in most environments - such as Amazon or Azure."
"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
"I like Veeam a lot because it solves problems, is stable, and runs very well."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its ease of management, it is not complicated, it is very reliable, has good support and a lot of knowledge on the market for integrators."
"The initial setup is simple to do in Veeam Backup Replication."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."
"We would like to see some improvements in the Veeam Backup & Replication integration. It's good, but it has a lot of room to improve. In particular around the inability to easily move data between StoreOnce appliances."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"There's a situation where VMs run on different locks. It's running on the VM while having a relationship with nearby solutions running on the same server and storage. This creates a bottleneck that needs to be eliminated."
"Sometimes Veeam is not that effective when it comes to legacy environments."
"Its native capability for talking to the public cloud needs improvement. Connecting to a public cloud is a little bit more of a challenge when it comes to Veeam than it is with Rubrik or Commvault. There are still some hoops that you got to jump through in order to send Veeam backups out to public cloud repositories. It is not as simple as it is with other products."
"Veeam Backup Replication has agents for Linux, but they are not supporting Cluster Shared Volumes. It would be great to have agents for Linux be cluster-aware, just like the Windows agents. That's the main pain point. In addition, we should be able to handle the automation of Oracle backups from the backup server. We should be able to schedule, control, and deploy them from the backup server rather than relying on scripts and/or the system you are backing up to perform the backup. Currently, we install the plug-in inside Oracle VMs and then use crontabs to handle the task schedule on each machine for scheduling the backups. Veeam Backup Replication should also support the automation of Nutanix backups from the backup server, not from the proxy. The other not so major thing is that they don't support legacy systems because Veeam is a new company. It is not as old as other companies. They don't support physical workloads that are really old, which a major challenge, but they do have a point. Legacy systems should be virtualized, and if they're virtualized, then the backup is not an issue with Veeam, but some customers like the physical setup, and they don't want to have it virtual."
"I only ever found one error. It was when we were doing a file copy job. After using it for ten minutes, it would slow down and cause a bottleneck error."
"The implementation was straightforward. However, we used an integrator, the process could be easier for us to do it ourselves."
"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."
"The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully."
