"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."

"Veritas Backup Exec is fully compatible with different tape libraries."
"Compression is the most valuable feature."
"We are satisfied with the stability of the product."
"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."
"Its reliability and the fact that we have all the skills that we need for Veritas Backup Exec are the most valuable."
"Good open file option feature, SQL agent, and EM agent."
"This solution has a very good technical support department that is very responsive."
"The solution is good for small and medium-sized businesses."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"We need to have duplication and better compression."
"It could provide better ease of management than one of its competitors."
"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."
"Currently, the solution does not have the capability to restore a single mailbox, so you lose a lot of time having to restore for example ten mailboxes just to recover one."
"It is currently missing the dynamic backup feature for virtual machines, which is available in NetWorker. I can create politics in NetWorker to add virtual machines with specific tags, but I cannot do this in Backup Exec, which is a minus point for me. Currently, a user has to send a request to the Backup administrator to add a machine to the backup, but I should be able to create rules to automatically add a new machine to the backup. This kind of functionality is very important in current times, especially when we are using cloud solutions. I should be able to create more than one stream in a policy and specify how many streams I want to run in parallel in one policy. Currently, I have to manually create more policies to backup more than one virtual machine at the same time. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"They could include backup functionality for enterprise environments."
"We've experienced some performance issues with Backup Exec. The backup jobs take too long to complete."
"One area that needs improvement is SQL backup. Backup Exec doesn't support higher availability."
