"I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one."
"Veritas Backup Exec is easily managed."

"It gives us the ability to locate and restore critical files which users may have intentionally or unknowing deleted a while ago."
"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."
"The solution is stable."
"It could improve its interface or offer a specific screen for the manager of the company."
"The initial setup could be a bit easier."
"Easier setup and configuration, perhaps including a GUI, would be an improvement."
"A more user-friendly interface (GUI) can be developed."
"We would like to see an improvement in the functionality of the GUI."
"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."
"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."
"Expanding is difficult because if I want to add, for example, a terabyte of data, then I have to buy a disk shelf and it will cost me a lot."
"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."
"I have experienced some errors, such as failures, but there have not been very many."
"Initial setup is a bit complex and needs some expertise for troubleshooting when something goes wrong."
"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."
"Veritas Backup Exec's dashboard feature could be enhanced."
