More Iron Mountain Connect Pros →

"This solution works well and has good integration with technologies such as VMware and Hyper-V.""It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data.""The dashboard was good.

That was my first screen because it always gave me a reminder of how many days before my next renewal.""Veritas Backup Exec is easily managed.""Veritas is simple and easy to deploy. In terms of the presentation and UI, they do their job well.""Recovery via Active Directory is painless and much easier than the complicated setup procedures of other products.""The most important feature is the variety of backup applications it supports, including ERP systems and most other programs, such as Microsoft.""The product provides automated and faster data backup and recovery compared to other vendors."

Cons
"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."

More Iron Mountain Connect Cons →

"The cost is quite high. Along with the general costs, the supposed agents that you have to buy for the various options that you want to use ends up driving the costs higher as well.""More stable environment in a WAN infrastructure.""There needs to be an integration process of the endpoint devices so that we don't have to redo everything for different products.""The solution is too heavy and complex with 1,000 menus and options that make it messy rather than lightweight.""The user interface needs to be improved.""I have experienced some errors, such as failures, but there have not been very many.""At the moment, we have a very complex environment. It would take some time to deploy an environment like ours from scratch.""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."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Veritas Backup Exec users.

    An IT Network Analyst at a manufacturing company says, “The backup potential of the solution is very good. It's protected us in the past very well and allowed us to get up and running after an attack with minimal loss. As far as if we need to restore a file, the solution absolutely has improved the way our organization functions. It saves us a lot of time. We're backing up all of our servers with it.”

    PeerSpot user Masoud G., Senior Network Administrator at MapnaBE, mentions, “I prefer to use a tape library and Veritas Backup Exec is fully compatible with different tape libraries. So I prefer this software. It also has easy user and file recovery.”

    Kayode O., Chief Technology Officer at a tech company, explains, “This solution creates a differential backup to reduce storage requirements. This solution is not complex and you do not have to be too technical to use it. Veritas offers granular restore, which is an option that many other solutions do not have. It allows you to restore, for example, a single SharePoint document, rather than an entire site.”

    Rowland G., Product Brand Manager at Epsidon Technology Distribution, states, “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. And also, the incremental backup which they introduced for virtual servers, where it makes it much quicker to restore, it just automatically is able to mount it back to the original backup. This makes it much quicker when you're doing the restore.”
