"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."

"The interface, dashboard, and pricing are all perfect."
"The interface for this solution is excellent, and it is easy to restore files compared to other solutions."

"It could improve its interface or offer a specific screen for the manager of the company."

"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."
"If you keep it for too long and the catalog gets really big, the application tends to move slowly."
"Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions."
"The integration with SaaS applications like Office 365 needs to be improved."
"The one thing which could be improved, which we have informed Veritas about, is the ability to plug in to the cloud. Meaning, instead of using local storage if we're backing up a small user or end user, we want to be able to make it so they can direct the backups directly to the cloud. It can't be done at the moment. We can only back up to the storage then replicate to the cloud, but we cannot use the cloud as a source of storage."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"The pricing is an area of improvement and the mode of marketing it."
