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."It's useful, it works, and it's fairly reliable."
"It offers seamless integration."
"This solution is easy to configure and restore. It is a Microsoft product so is easily compatible with other solutions."
"When it comes to Azure Backup, the advantage is that it's native and it's very easy to configure. We don't require a separate tool or manage something on a separate server. At the backend, it's managed by Microsoft itself, and we don't need to manage it."
"Azure Backup is easy to configure and restore."
"The backup features are very useful."
"First of all, you can schedule a backup for the client. You can schedule it as you like. You can also control the bandwidth, so the backup will not utilize. The internet will depend on the bandwidth."
"Enables immediate recovery and immediate restoration."
"Good open file option feature, SQL agent, and EM agent."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to back up IBM Power virtual servers."
"We have virtual infrastructure, so restoring virtual machine systems from backups is also very easy."
"We have never had any problem with storage and backups. It works very well and is a user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable features of Veritas Backup Exec are the graphical interface, ease of management, and overall ease of use."
"The flexibility is very good."
"It is responding very well, and its performance is good. It has a lot of options. For backup, you can connect it to a cloud or a physical hard drive. They also provide an API for integration with different platforms and products. However, we have not integrated it with another product."
"Once the solution is integrated with the Exchange, you just click Exchange to back up that file."
"It would be beneficial to receive alert messages if something isn't configured correctly, for instance, if service principal names are missing, a message could prompt you to set them up."
"In the next release, I would like to see the ability to back up to different cloud providers."
"I believe more options could be available to understand better what's happening in the system. Additionally, automating the client updates and connector updates would be beneficial. Updating the connector from time to time can be challenging, and it could be made more transparent and straightforward for users. Moreover, another drawback lies in the time it takes to test full data backup recovery. Deploying a full recovery takes longer. We need to allocate a longer period for complete data recovery to establish the environment again."
"The user interface is a little bit confusing and it could be better."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"It still does not have a lot of customization, especially if your workloads are not in Azure."
"The solution is still in its infancy; it's not a mature product yet."
"The Azure Backup support for on-premises service is limited."
"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."
"They could include backup functionality for enterprise environments."
"Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions."
"Veritas Backup Exec's support services could be faster."
"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)."
"Its scalability should be improved."
"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."
