"For us, the main two features that we appreciate in this application are backup and restore. They are the main purposes for which we are using this application."
"The backup solution comes in different versions to support different platforms."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions."
"They can work on the issue of the job timing out when it is unable to reach a selection item. It sometimes hangs up on the selection item, thus preventing the job from continuing."
"Currently, the solution does not have the capability to restore a single mailbox, so you lose a lot of time having to restore for example ten mailboxes just to recover one."
"Initial setup is a bit complex and needs some expertise for troubleshooting when something goes wrong."
"Doesn't include disaster recovery."
"Veritas Backup Exec's support services could be faster."
"They could include backup functionality for enterprise environments."
"The cost is quite high. Along with the general costs, the supposed agents that you have to buy for the various options that you want to use ends up driving the costs higher as well."
