Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The always-on deduplication and compression is also effective and allows us to achieve about 3x savings on space utilization.""Write latency is averaging way under a millisecond.""The ability to target existing remote storage with NoRestore is going to allow us to leverage existing storage without an increased financial investment.""We like the way the Reduxio is designed, the way the managing/operating end is just so much easier; fewer steps, more intuitive steps. It has a number of features baked into it that, in other products, are additional licensed components, like compression and dedupe.""The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that.""Reduxio allows you just spin a dial and go back to just about any time… in most cases (depending on the policies you’ve set) to go back within one second granularity for a couple weeks in the past.""I have an every second undo button for all my applications. I call Reduxio "the ransomware killer".""Enables multiple hosts access to the virtual machines by providing for moving VMs due to maintenance or host failure."

"The most valuable features of Veritas Backup Exec are the easy-to-use intuitive GUI. It is very easy to understand. I have never lost data and I have been able to recover all the data I need.""It is a good overall suite of products.""It is a simple and flexible solution to work with.""This solution has a very good technical support department that is very responsive.""I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud.""The interface easy to use and it is compatible with most backup devices.""The most valuable feature of Veritas Backup Exec is the ease of use.""It gives us the ability to locate and restore critical files which users may have intentionally or unknowing deleted a while ago."

Cons
"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN.""Needs to be made easier to use with slightly older versions of VMware.""The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious.​""The only thing that I'd like to see, at some point in time, is having the storage array being able to detect a ransomware attack. When you get hit by a ransomware it rewrites every block in your guest's virtual machine. So there should be a way for them to be able to detect that: "Hey, this is unusual, to see every block of this guest being rewritten all at one time," and then flag that as potential malware or ransomware.""If Reduxio could manage multiple Reduxio systems within the same dashboard, or manage them as a single mode, it be very, very helpful for us.""Maybe it should come in stainless steel, just like its DeLorean time machine predecessor.""Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration.""The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine. Everything has rights, meaning that there's either all control or no delegated control. So to sum that up, it would be a feature request for delegated management in the administrative console."

More Reduxio [EOL] Cons →

"I would like to improve their ability to back up the cloud environment. Additionally, it would be nice to have simpler UI.""There still a lot of room for improvement in synthetic technologies, especially when targeted to deduplication media.""It could be improved in the area of reporting and ease-of-use.""The reports could be made in an easier way.""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.""Compared to other vendors, there are features that you will find not included in Veritas.""I would like to see this solution improve on faster restoration. Currently, it takes a long time to restore my data.""Veritas Backup Exec should improve by having a user portal that customers can use."

    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.”
