"Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration."
"The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks."
"VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs."
"The predictive analytics are great and the reporting is awesome."
"They have great support."
"It's not easy to scale it."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"We are satisfied with the stability of the product."
"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."
"It's quite stable, and so far, we have had no technical issues with Veritas Backup Exec."
"The usability and interface of the solution are good."
"The product is good in a small environment when looking to a backup on a tape."
"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
"This is a very flexible product, which allows you to back up not only the physical environment but also the cloud environment."
"Veritas Backup Exec is fully compatible with different tape libraries."
"Unitrends can be challenging to scale."
"There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable."
"It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"It would be great to have the job throttle/limit the max number of backups on a single ESXi host."
"Network-based storage stability could be improved."
"The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive."
"It could be a little more customizable."
"Veritas Backup Exec could improve the analytics. If there were some more detail in our scan reports it would be beneficial."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."
"There is no training provided, and their technicians are unaware of the features available."
"Whenever a job fails, it would be a great improvement to be able to resume the job from that feature. Suppose a job was started this morning and that it is going on while there are interruptions like network issues, server restart issues, server connectivity issues, services stopping, etc. For some reason, let's assume that the job failed or that it was mistakenly canceled by another person. It will be a great improvement if that failed job can be continued."
"It is currently missing the dynamic backup feature for virtual machines, which is available in NetWorker. I can create politics in NetWorker to add virtual machines with specific tags, but I cannot do this in Backup Exec, which is a minus point for me. Currently, a user has to send a request to the Backup administrator to add a machine to the backup, but I should be able to create rules to automatically add a new machine to the backup. This kind of functionality is very important in current times, especially when we are using cloud solutions. I should be able to create more than one stream in a policy and specify how many streams I want to run in parallel in one policy. Currently, I have to manually create more policies to backup more than one virtual machine at the same time. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"Compared to other vendors, there are features that you will find not included in Veritas."
"The solution could improve and adapt to new applications in the market so we can integrate Veritas Backup Exec with them to facilitate backup processes within these applications."
"It could provide better ease of management than one of its competitors."
