"The product is good in a small environment when looking to a backup on a tape."
"Good open file option feature, SQL agent, and EM agent."
"Setting up Backup Exec is straightforward. It took less than two weeks to get it up and running. You need maybe two people at most if you have a Veritas-certified engineer."
"This is a very flexible product, which allows you to back up not only the physical environment but also the cloud environment."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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 price of NovaStor NovaBACKUP is an area that can be considered as a weakness or drawback, where improvements are required."
"Better integration with non-Microsoft products would be an improvement."
"Veritas Backup Exec's dashboard feature could be enhanced."
"The scalability could be improved even though the solution is targeted to small customers."

"I would like to be able to create a restore task that can be scheduled so that the same restore action will be performed automatically."
"It is currently missing the dynamic backup feature for virtual machines, which is available in NetWorker. I can create politics in NetWorker to add virtual machines with specific tags, but I cannot do this in Backup Exec, which is a minus point for me. Currently, a user has to send a request to the Backup administrator to add a machine to the backup, but I should be able to create rules to automatically add a new machine to the backup. This kind of functionality is very important in current times, especially when we are using cloud solutions. I should be able to create more than one stream in a policy and specify how many streams I want to run in parallel in one policy. Currently, I have to manually create more policies to backup more than one virtual machine at the same time. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"There is no training provided, and their technicians are unaware of the features available."
"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."
