"Solution provides good security."
"I like working on the Azure platform."
"I love Veeam because it is very easy to work with."
"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."
"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."
"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."
"The disk-to-disk paid backup feature is quite good, and file locking is a very important feature."
"It is one of the most stable backup solutions."
"The backup solution comes in different versions to support different platforms."
"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."
"The product provides automated and faster data backup and recovery compared to other vendors."
"There are not many options available for AIX backup. They provide the agent for AIX, but it could be more mature."
"I've found a lot of difficulties on the initial setup and especially in terms of credentials. We really need a Window OS. It doesn't like the domain admin account. it's a primary permission issue."
"It is not always easy to update this solution to the newer version, so the update process needs to be improved."
"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."
"We need some sort of security for backups and archives."
"They should improve the solution's automation features."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should improve by having more features, easier deployment, and compatibility with Unix boxes."
"While the Veeam agent is perfect, sometimes the agent doesn't install in Windows."
"If you keep it for too long and the catalog gets really big, the application tends to move slowly."
"It doesn't support the AIX platform."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"We need to have duplication and better compression."
"Something within the software itself isn't quite right. There may be a bug or glitch. It will work fine for weeks and then all of a sudden it just tanks."
"The integration with SaaS applications like Office 365 needs to be improved."
"The solution is too heavy and complex with 1,000 menus and options that make it messy rather than lightweight."
"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."
