"The solution could improve by having better documentation."
"At the moment, we have a very complex environment. It would take some time to deploy an environment like ours from scratch."

"The pricing of the solution is a bit high."
"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."
"Enhanced support for cloud backup needs to be added."
"Veritas Backup Exec should be more user-friendly. The costs should also be much lower and it should be easier to go through the disaster recovery process."
