"Veritas is good for small environments."
"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 easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
