"The storage backup is very efficient."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the native backup capabilities."
"The backup features are very useful."
"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."
"I like the product's restoration cases."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"It's quite stable, and so far, we have had no technical issues with Veritas Backup Exec."
"The most valuable features of Veritas Backup Exec are the graphical interface, ease of management, and overall ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas Backup Exec is the ease of use."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Veritas is good for small environments."
"It is a scalable product."
"I would like to see more automation, integration, and security. The price could be better."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"The time required to restore files should be a little faster."
"The support for Office365 backup is atrocious and is something that has to be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see the ability to back up to different cloud providers."
"Lacks an AI system that would enable easier upgrading of the hardware."
"The compression ratio of the backup data should be improved."
"I once tried restoring a Linux environment, and the size of the Linux VM or the data disk was really huge. It took a really long time to restore the environment and send the data from the storage to the disk. It took around 25 to 30 minutes, which was much longer than I anticipated. They can improve the duration of such restore operations. In the next release, it would also be good if they could reduce the duration for transferring the data from their storage to the actual storage while creating a virtual machine. They can reduce the duration or increase the data transfer rate."
"Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"We need to have duplication and better compression."
"The backup is not robust enough when you have a lot of technology."
"In terms of improvements, I think the pricing model could be improved. They charge you by port, for every port that you have even if you're not using all of them."
"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 doesn't support the AIX platform."
"The pricing of the solution is a bit high."
