"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"This product is extremely user-friendly and it is capable of performing large-scale archive/backup (five+ years worth). It is easy to store, maintain, and check backups."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"I like the tool's speed."
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"We have virtual infrastructure, so restoring virtual machine systems from backups is also very easy."
"It gives us the ability to locate and restore critical files which users may have intentionally or unknowing deleted a while ago."
"The product makes it easy to restore data."
"The interface for this solution is excellent, and it is easy to restore files compared to other solutions."
"In the global business world, Veritas has a very good name. I think they have a good solid product, and they are always trying to improve it, and update it. ;They know what the client actually needs, and they are up to the challenge of satisfying those needs."
"It is a good overall suite of products."
"The product is good in a small environment when looking to a backup on a tape."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to back up IBM Power virtual servers."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"Whenever a job fails, it would be a great improvement to be able to resume the job from that feature. Suppose a job was started this morning and that it is going on while there are interruptions like network issues, server restart issues, server connectivity issues, services stopping, etc. For some reason, let's assume that the job failed or that it was mistakenly canceled by another person. It will be a great improvement if that failed job can be continued."
"The solution could improve and adapt to new applications in the market so we can integrate Veritas Backup Exec with them to facilitate backup processes within these applications."
"The pricing is an area of improvement and the mode of marketing it."
"Initial setup is a bit complex and needs some expertise for troubleshooting when something goes wrong."
"The EDR should be looked at, as the operating system is too weak."
"The scalability could be improved even though the solution is targeted to small customers."
"The solution is too heavy and complex with 1,000 menus and options that make it messy rather than lightweight."
"Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions."
