"The platform has a useful disaster recovery feature."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its back up and recovery. It is a simplified backup because you can do both databases - VM and HyperV. It's a faster backup than the conventional methods because it takes up the bare metal."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The documentation can be improved, this would have helped."
"The product should improve compute points."
"From an improvement perspective, the tool should allow users to add more data centers in the cloud."
"The licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better."
"Veeam's biggest limitation is the lack of integration. I can't use the tool because there is no integration between the tool and the environment."
"The stability for AIX machines could be better."
"Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement."
"I face difficulties when trying to deploy Veeam ONE because my active directory restricts some particular rights."
"In the next release I would like to see a bit more intelligence as far as a solution or troubleshooting - to put it more on the level of resolution and not simply identifying there is a problem."
"We would like to see support for some additional storage systems."
"They need a better solution for backend storage."

The rate of price hikes has been significant, with prices escalating three times during the first quarter of the year. This trend indicates a substantial shift in the pricing structure, which may have implications for customers and their budgeting considerations."
