"The standout feature for us is instant recovery."

"Veritas NetBackup is a scalable solution."
"I am comfortable with using this product."
"Veeam Backup & Replication should include a cloud solution."
"One challenge that we have encountered was on the long-term retention of data. Be sure to look into a dedicated deduplication appliance."
"In the future, Veeam should release a hardware backup appliance that can be integrated with their software."
"Veeam doesn't have the reporting part quite right. Its data visualization isn't as slick as other solutions like Veritas. For example, in Veritas, you can see a calendar that shows you which days are backed up. Veeam lacks features like that."
"Could offer a better conclusion of the backups."
"Needs better integration with cloud service providers."
"The price can be a bit expensive."
"The cloud part of it can be improved. There should be an option for Veeam in your own cloud, as compared to the Veeam cloud offering that's currently there. The rest of it is easy."
"The solution could improve by having a feature to backup iSeries workloads."
"Improvements can be made to the service by providing better and more competitive ratios on data backups. The functionality for backups is there with Veritas, but I would like to see them optimize and enhance this feature more."
"The licensing costs could be more affordable."
"There is a big change in Veritas. In the past, we could easily change servers or appliances and continue working by restoring the catalog. We could change servers from Linux to Linux or Linux to Solaris and perform catalog restores to continue working. But with the new version, we are forced to engage Veritas' professional services, which is too expensive."
"Licensing costs are quite high."
"The HTML interface is a web application that does not offer all the features."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"I think reporting can always be improved."
