"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."
"It has good stability. Its interface is very good, responsive, and easy for restoring data. I use it for backup, encryption, and restore operations, and it works. I am using many agents from VM to LMDP. I also use an agent for SQL Server, which has advanced options because it is the Enterprise version."
"The product makes it easy to restore data."
"One of the valuable features is the instant recovery for VMs. It reduces the RTO (Recovery Time Objective) drastically."
"Veritas Backup Exec is fully compatible with different tape libraries."
"It is one of the most stable backup solutions."
"The interface easy to use and it is compatible with most backup devices."
"I would like there to be more integration with other platforms."
"The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete."
"Interface could possibly be improved."
"If you are doing an AIX backup then you have to use the CLI because it doesn't appear on the console, the way that Windows and Linux jobs do."
"It is not always easy to update this solution to the newer version, so the update process needs to be improved."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should improve by having more features, easier deployment, and compatibility with Unix boxes."
"The solution could use some updates to minor details omitted from current reporting."
"There really are no cons. The product simply has to maintain development to keep up with changes in the operating system."
"The solution is too heavy and complex with 1,000 menus and options that make it messy rather than lightweight."
"Whenever a job fails, it would be a great improvement to be able to resume the job from that feature. Suppose a job was started this morning and that it is going on while there are interruptions like network issues, server restart issues, server connectivity issues, services stopping, etc. For some reason, let's assume that the job failed or that it was mistakenly canceled by another person. It will be a great improvement if that failed job can be continued."
"More stable environment in a WAN infrastructure."
"In the future, their console should not be complicated."
"There is no training provided, and their technicians are unaware of the features available."
"Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions."
"One area that needs improvement is SQL backup. Backup Exec doesn't support higher availability."
"Compared to other vendors, there are features that you will find not included in Veritas."
