Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"The initial setup for a simple environment is very easy. We just do next, next, next, next for the installation. It can be complicated in a complicated environment. It can be simple for a simple environment. I enjoy installing it. It has a lot of features."
"I like how Veeam intuitively integrates with Zerto."
"Before Veeam, we had backup infrastructure sprawl. Veeam was able to reduce our overall backup windows while reducing our dedicated backup infrastructure."
"It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are very good."
"The solution can work for companies no matter the size or scope."
"Veeam One is a centralized management and centralized reporting tool. The tool has supportive infrastructure to create specialised applications and some server application. You can add all the resources and infrastructure. You will get the reports, can easily manage and monitor any feature."
"Recovery of backup data is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"Veeam Data Platform should improve its air gap backup features."
"I think that Veeam could improve some performance issues when the backup itself is restored. I'm also using HPE StoreOnce, which has deduplication, and when I'm trying to test or run backups, it takes a lot of time. I think they could improve the testing for backup copies."
"In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included."
"The cost needs to be considered."
"Lacks online training."
"The cost of the product is an area that would prevent me from using it in the future."
"Sometimes, it's a little difficult for me to use its user interface. Its scope is very big with a lot of tuning, settings, and so on. If it's difficult for me, it must also be difficult for our customers."
"The price could be optimized, and I am still waiting for support for physical hardware. However, it is currently easy to back up and restore environments with this software."
