"Good open file option feature, SQL agent, and EM agent."
"I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"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."
"Its reliability and the fact that we have all the skills that we need for Veritas Backup Exec are the most valuable."
"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."

"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."

"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."
"It does not delete locked files."
"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"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."
"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)."

"There are some issues with the Backup Exec Library and the random picking of tapes."
"One area that needs improvement is SQL backup. Backup Exec doesn't support higher availability."
