Veritas Backup Exec Pros and Cons

The dashboard was good. I loved to see the maintenance dashboard every time I logged on. That was my first screen because it always gave me a reminder of how many days before my next renewal.

The solution is very scalable. Whenever we grew, it was just a matter of adding new licenses, so it's easy to grow.

This solution is not complex and you do not have to be too technical to use it.

One nice feature with Backup Exec is mainly that disaster can happen to any server and the disk image can be destroyed very easily. It's also easy to fully email the backup image and restore the server.

The beauty of the solution is that you can rely on it. It offers a quick recovery time when it's backing up items. The way it recovers data is excellent.

I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one.

This solution works well and has good integration with technologies such as VMware and Hyper-V.

The interface, dashboard, and pricing are all perfect.

The interface for this solution is excellent, and it is easy to restore files compared to other solutions.

Veritas is simple and easy to deploy. In terms of the presentation and UI, they do their job well.

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.

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 price of this solution is very high.

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.

The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful.

The user interface needs to be improved.

This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server.

Better integration with non-Microsoft products would be an improvement.

I would like to be able to create a restore task that can be scheduled so that the same restore action will be performed automatically.

Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions.
