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."I like that it's stable and scalable."
"The support for legacy products is very good."
"The initial setup is very easy. It's incredibly fast."
"Technical support is good."
"It is scalable software. All you need to increase is its RAM and CPU. It's pretty easy."
"Data domain is a good feature."
"The backup software has been much faster since we've deployed the solution."
"The full backup is a great feature. Restoration is also good and very quick."
"Synthetic backup is valuable. It gives you the possibility to do a synthesized backup, which means that it combines a full backup and incremental backup data and gives it to you in one stream. So, you don't have to restore the full backup and then later go and restore the incremental backup. You can do that in one go."
"It is one of the most stable backup solutions."
"One nice feature with Backup Exec is mainly that disaster can happen to any server and the disk image can be destroyed very easily. It's also easy to fully email the backup image and restore the server."
"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 interface for this solution is excellent, and it is easy to restore files compared to other solutions."
"The interface, dashboard, and pricing are all perfect."
"Backup Exec 2012 R2 is a very good product for the Windows file system and SQL backups. It is very user-friendly, but the next version Backup Exec 2014 that is released and the other next versions of Backup Exec product is not so friendly."
"This solution is not complex and you do not have to be too technical to use it."
"The support is an area with concerns where improvements are required."
"The solution could improve by having more integration."
"The management of Dell Networker is quite cumbersome."
"The team does not have enough knowledge to support you."
"Could have a better recovery system."
"We have faced problems with the initial configuration of the solution."
"NetWorker's major problem is its legacy software."
"The product should provide integration with AWS."
"At the moment, we have a very complex environment. It would take some time to deploy an environment like ours from scratch."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"The reports could be made in an easier way."
"In terms of improvements, I think the pricing model could be improved. They charge you by port, for every port that you have even if you're not using all of them."
"They can improve the reporting component. The reports aren't user-friendly at all. You have to download them to Excel to get statistics."
"If you keep it for too long and the catalog gets really big, the application tends to move slowly."
"It is not a recommended software when it comes to large environments where there has to be a minimal Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and/or Recover Point Objective (RPO)."
"Veritas Backup Exec's support services could be faster."
