Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The most valuable feature is the backups."
"I like that they have some new devices that are simpler to use because they kind of tie right into the cloud."
"Compression is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"It's quite stable, and so far, we have had no technical issues with Veritas Backup Exec."
"The solution is stable."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"The interface, dashboard, and pricing are all perfect."
"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery."
"Their restoration protocols could be better. I pulled all my clients out of their cloud mostly because I wasn't confident that they could restore out of the cloud. This was backed up by friends who had been burned by stuff like that. We moved away because of the lack of resources to restore from a potential catastrophic failure. It's challenging, and in some cases, they couldn't do it because they didn't have enough resources. For example, if there was a major disaster, and everybody needed their images out of the cloud, they couldn't give them to everybody."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."
"Doesn't include disaster recovery."
"I would like to see this solution improve on faster restoration. Currently, it takes a long time to restore my data."
"Veritas Backup Exec could improve the analytics. If there were some more detail in our scan reports it would be beneficial."
"It is currently missing the dynamic backup feature for virtual machines, which is available in NetWorker. I can create politics in NetWorker to add virtual machines with specific tags, but I cannot do this in Backup Exec, which is a minus point for me. Currently, a user has to send a request to the Backup administrator to add a machine to the backup, but I should be able to create rules to automatically add a new machine to the backup. This kind of functionality is very important in current times, especially when we are using cloud solutions. I should be able to create more than one stream in a policy and specify how many streams I want to run in parallel in one policy. Currently, I have to manually create more policies to backup more than one virtual machine at the same time. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"I wish that they have an outlet for the other products from Veritas built into the Backup Exec product. For example, Backup Exec does only server backup. Currently, it is possible to read the backup of one other product, but if they can add more products so that you can just go into the dashboard of these other products by clicking on a button within the Backup Exec product, it would be great."
"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."
"The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful."
