"Compression is the most valuable feature."
"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
"We are satisfied with the stability of the product."
"The one thing for the last 12 months which has been very good for Veritas was the instance-based license. This means that you're able to license per instance, not only per physical server."
"One nice feature with Backup Exec is mainly that disaster can happen to any server and the disk image can be destroyed very easily. It's also easy to fully email the backup image and restore the server."
"This solution works well and has good integration with technologies such as VMware and Hyper-V."
"It is responding very well, and its performance is good. It has a lot of options. For backup, you can connect it to a cloud or a physical hard drive. They also provide an API for integration with different platforms and products. However, we have not integrated it with another product."
"Its reliability and the fact that we have all the skills that we need for Veritas Backup Exec are the most valuable."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
"There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable."
"It could be a little more customizable."
"Comparing the features and the working pattern, definitely they have to come down on pricing if they want to compete in the market."
"I would like to see more storage options for the free version."
"I would like to be able to create a restore task that can be scheduled so that the same restore action will be performed automatically."
"Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions."
"There is no training provided, and their technicians are unaware of the features available."
"I wish that they have an outlet for the other products from Veritas built into the Backup Exec product. For example, Backup Exec does only server backup. Currently, it is possible to read the backup of one other product, but if they can add more products so that you can just go into the dashboard of these other products by clicking on a button within the Backup Exec product, it would be great."
"At the moment, we have a very complex environment. It would take some time to deploy an environment like ours from scratch."
"More stable environment in a WAN infrastructure."
"They can improve the reporting component. The reports aren't user-friendly at all. You have to download them to Excel to get statistics."
"In the future, their console should not be complicated."
