"In the global business world, Veritas has a very good name. I think they have a good solid product, and they are always trying to improve it, and update it. ;They know what the client actually needs, and they are up to the challenge of satisfying those needs."
"I need no more valuable features for backs-up. I have not yet tried the latest release, however, I have all the features that I need."
"The way encryption is currently working could be improved. Currently, it's not possible to encrypt the backup to an NFS share directly.

"They could include backup functionality for enterprise environments."

"The EDR should be looked at, as the operating system is too weak."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."
"The console of Veritas Backup Exec is complex when compared to other software."
