"The easy management and a good overview are the most important aspects."
"The backup solution comes in different versions to support different platforms."
"The dashboard was good. I loved to see the maintenance dashboard every time I logged on. That was my first screen because it always gave me a reminder of how many days before my next renewal."
"It has good stability. Its interface is very good, responsive, and easy for restoring data. I use it for backup, encryption, and restore operations, and it works. I am using many agents from VM to LMDP. I also use an agent for SQL Server, which has advanced options because it is the Enterprise version."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas Backup Exec is the ease of use."
"Synthetic backup is valuable. It gives you the possibility to do a synthesized backup, which means that it combines a full backup and incremental backup data and gives it to you in one stream. So, you don't have to restore the full backup and then later go and restore the incremental backup. You can do that in one go."
"Its reliability and the fact that we have all the skills that we need for Veritas Backup Exec are the most valuable."
"The interface, dashboard, and pricing are all perfect."

"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things."
"I would love to see BackBlaze B2 implementation in the future, as that would be our preferred cloud destination, but Amazon and Wasabi are both very great choices in the meantime."
"Space is always an issue."
"In the future, the solution should provide a more granular backup."
"I would like to see this solution improve on faster restoration. Currently, it takes a long time to restore my data."
"More stable environment in a WAN infrastructure."
"The cost is quite high. Along with the general costs, the supposed agents that you have to buy for the various options that you want to use ends up driving the costs higher as well."
"We've experienced some performance issues with Backup Exec. The backup jobs take too long to complete."
"The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful."
"Expanding is difficult because if I want to add, for example, a terabyte of data, then I have to buy a disk shelf and it will cost me a lot."
"Veritas Backup Exec should be more user-friendly. The costs should also be much lower and it should be easier to go through the disaster recovery process."
"Veritas Backup Exec's support services could be faster."
