"Bacula is pretty stable."
"It can be used in virtually any environment we have onsite."
"It brought many advantages - such as the learning curve being very light."
"It works great and it provides you with several standard tools to restore your backup, even after a big failure."
"The most valuable features are the special plugins such as SAP HANA databases, Microsoft SQL, and various types of virtualization."
"The solution has extensive documentation and a very active community."
"The dashboard was good. I loved to see the maintenance dashboard every time I logged on. That was my first screen because it always gave me a reminder of how many days before my next renewal."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendly interface."
"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."
"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"The usability and interface of the solution are good."
"Synthetic backup is valuable. It gives you the possibility to do a synthesized backup, which means that it combines a full backup and incremental backup data and gives it to you in one stream. So, you don't have to restore the full backup and then later go and restore the incremental backup. You can do that in one go."
"We are looking for a unique interface that can rule both enterprise and open source editions. Such a thing does not yet exist."
"Bacula needs a graphical user interface because, for administrators, the command-line interface is okay, but for the average user it is not very easy."
"Easier setup and configuration, perhaps including a GUI, would be an improvement."
"We would like to see an improvement in the functionality of the GUI."
"It could improve its interface or offer a specific screen for the manager of the company."
"The initial setup could be a bit easier."
"A more user-friendly interface (GUI) can be developed."
"Compared to other vendors, there are features that you will find not included in Veritas."
"The solution lacked local support, which became an issue for us and our customers. They needed to have more presence on the ground."
"The EDR should be looked at, as the operating system is too weak."
"In terms of improvements, I think the pricing model could be improved. They charge you by port, for every port that you have even if you're not using all of them."
"Doesn't include disaster recovery."
"In the future, their console should not be complicated."
"There still a lot of room for improvement in synthetic technologies, especially when targeted to deduplication media."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."
