"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"While I do not recall whether the latest version is 10.0 or 11.0 I do know that it allows one to make a back up repository that is very scalable and simple."
"It has helped us transfer the solution in two days instead of working for a minimum of one week to ten days."
"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use, good integration with others solutions, such as Oracle ERP, and by using the UI you can create and achieve operations you want to do."
"There is room for improvement in deployment and configuration processes."
"The only downside is in ease in management; it is not easy to use."
"With scalability, we feel the system is limited."
"Needs to add wizards for newer, inexperienced users."
"NetApp FAS Series could improve by being more secure."
"The user interface could be improved to have better graphics and the performance analyzer could be better."
"It's not a cheap system. It is very expensive. The pricing has been ridiculous every time that we had to renew the support."
"Currently, the newest release is not HCI friendly."
"My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss."
"One challenge that we have encountered was on the long-term retention of data. Be sure to look into a dedicated deduplication appliance."
"We try to compare Veeam with other solutions because we are the operations. Then we can give the answers for improvement which is the specific additional system features that other solutions provide."
"I think Veeam needs to improve the file installation process, as well as more technical things like snapping feature issues. Sometimes during backup, when it's taking the scan snaps on the ESXi, it started and didn't remove the snapshot from there, which consumed storage on the EXSi. It could be improved with more technical depth. The response time for Veeam's technical support could also be improved."
"Cross-hypervisor replication can be improved."
"Its licensing needs to be improved. Its licensing has become complex since last December. They have changed the way the product is licensed, and there is a lot of confusion. Sometimes, when a new version comes, it seems that it has not been tested enough because I usually find some bugs in it. It could also have more integration with other virtualization products, such as desktop virtualization products and open-source virtualization products."
"The tech support needs improvement."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud."
