Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."One of the features I find most valuable, is the good technical support."
"The speed and the ease of the initial setup are both good. It is not complex."
"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."
"Veritas Backup Exec is easily managed."
"The product makes it easy to restore data."
"It gives us the ability to locate and restore critical files which users may have intentionally or unknowing deleted a while ago."
"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 a good overall suite of products."
"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."
"We are satisfied with the stability of the product."
"The product has to be more mature, like to be another six to eight months on the market. A lot of maturity needs to be incorporated."
"The interface and documentation need to improve."
"They can work on the issue of the job timing out when it is unable to reach a selection item. It sometimes hangs up on the selection item, thus preventing the job from continuing."
"At the moment, we have a very complex environment. It would take some time to deploy an environment like ours from scratch."
"Enhanced support for cloud backup needs to be added."
"There needs to be an integration process of the endpoint devices so that we don't have to redo everything for different products."
"Veritas Backup Exec's support services could be faster."
"The one thing which could be improved, which we have informed Veritas about, is the ability to plug in to the cloud. Meaning, instead of using local storage if we're backing up a small user or end user, we want to be able to make it so they can direct the backups directly to the cloud. It can't be done at the moment. We can only back up to the storage then replicate to the cloud, but we cannot use the cloud as a source of storage."
"Veritas Backup Exec could improve the analytics. If there were some more detail in our scan reports it would be beneficial."
"Compared to other vendors, there are features that you will find not included in Veritas."
