Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The setup is very easy."
"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"The pricing is fine."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"The backup potential of the solution is very good. It's protected us in the past very well and allowed us to get up and running after an attack with minimal loss."
"Veritas is good for small environments."
"This is a very flexible product, which allows you to back up not only the physical environment but also the cloud environment."
"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."
"Once the solution is integrated with the Exchange, you just click Exchange to back up that file."
"The solution is stable."
"The interface, dashboard, and pricing are all perfect."
"The flexibility is very good."
"The reporting can be improved."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"It does not delete locked files."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"If you keep it for too long and the catalog gets really big, the application tends to move slowly."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution is a bit high."
"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."
"There are some issues with the Backup Exec Library and the random picking of tapes."
"The solution could improve by having better documentation."
"I have experienced some errors, such as failures, but there have not been very many."
"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."
