"Compression is the most valuable feature."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"The installation was straightforward."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"It has a user-friendly interface."

"I would like to see this solution improve on faster restoration. Currently, it takes a long time to restore my data."

"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."
"There is no training provided, and their technicians are unaware of the features available."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."

This can render the automation less valuable."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
