We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and Veritas Backup Exec based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."With a couple of buttons, we can configure a VM for a backup and use the wall service, the storage wall service, pretty seamlessly."
"All of the core features are valuable to us."
"The daily backups have become easier since we no longer need to handle large backups. The use of Azure Backup as a service has proven reliable and simplified our daily operations. Previously, we relied on LTO backups for data retention, but after migrating to the cloud and adopting Azure Backup, the delivery process has become smoother."
"It's useful, it works, and it's fairly reliable."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that it is easy to create a backup by using Azure Backup. It also has a good user interface and nice features for sending notifications when any backup fails or there is a change in the status of virtual machines."
"It's stable."
"The best aspect of the solution is its backup functionality."
"The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"The solution was stable and reliable."
"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."
"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
"The product provides automated and faster data backup and recovery compared to other vendors."
"The ease-of-use in general is great."
"The interface easy to use and it is compatible with most backup devices."
"The usability and interface of the solution are good."
"The one thing for the last 12 months which has been very good for Veritas was the instance-based license. This means that you're able to license per instance, not only per physical server."
"Ransomware protection is missing in Azure Backup."
"On-prem can be complex to set up but the cloud is simple."
"The tool's backup should be faster. Azure Backup's support should be faster."
"The user interface is a little bit confusing and it could be better."
"We have a concern with the backup when were are working with VMs that are running in Barracuda Firewall because it usually fails."
"We would like to see some kind of notification given to the user that a file was not synchronized well or what may have happened."
"Azure Backup must include features similar to enterprise solutions."
"The Azure Backup support for on-premises service is limited."
"The console of Veritas Backup Exec is complex when compared to other software."
"Compared to other vendors, there are features that you will find not included in Veritas."
"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."
"Enhanced support for cloud backup needs to be added."
"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 solution is too heavy and complex with 1,000 menus and options that make it messy rather than lightweight."
"I would like to see this solution improve on faster restoration. Currently, it takes a long time to restore my data."
"I have experienced some errors, such as failures, but there have not been very many."
