The scalability of Veritas Backup Exec is good. Veritas has physical hardware appliances, and hard disks, you can easily upgrade your backup appliances to have more storage if needed. It is easy to scale.

We have approximately 200 people who use this solution in my organization. We are happy with the usage at this time.

I recommend this solution for large-scale and enterprise companies.

I rate the platform's scalability as seven out of ten. There may be limitations on backing up or restoring large data sets. Enterprise software typically offers features like multiplexing to handle large amounts of data more efficiently than Backup Exec, primarily designed for smaller environments.

It is a scalable platform.

The solution is scalable and good when compared to other products that cause worry when performing backups. 

It has agents. I didn't need any strategy in terms of scaling. When I need to add an extra device, I just install the new agents. I didn't force the limits, like Backup Exec. I didn't force the limit, so I can’t speak to the maximum expansion capabilities.

We have four people using the solution. They are system admins.

We do not plan to increase usage anytime soon.

I rate the product’s scalability a ten out of ten.

It's a good product for SMB-level clients. 

So, we don't use features like replication much. We have SMB customers, and they can't afford the high bandwidth lines needed. We typically use it for on-site backup recovery only. 

However, we are aware of the repeatability offered by Backup Exec. Although we haven't implemented it yet, if needed, we can refer to the documentation. We've heard the application is good, but we haven't tested it ourselves.  

The solution is scalable.

The scalability of the solution is very good.

I am the only one really using the solution in my organization. But I have 2 other colleagues able to do most of the tasks required when I'm away. 

It is scalable and manageable. Some of the solutions can scale but become complex to manage. This is scalable and easily manageable.

It is scalable.

The product is scalable.

It is a scalable product.

With regard to scalability, Veritas Backup Exec is a good solution for very small enterprise clients. If you have big systems, you must move to NetBackup if you stay with Veritas.

We have 10 to 12 people who use this solution.

It is scalable.

For one site you only need one person, max two. The administration or console is very easy to accommodate. One person is able to do that. That's no problem.

The scalability of Veritas Backup Exec is good.

I don't know how compatible it is with a cloud environment, but for scalability for SMB companies it's good because you could have one central management and deploy different servers in different areas and manage it in a single, central point. I think it is good for SMB's.

Generally, I use this solution for servers and not for clients.

It is good for small and medium clients. Although I think that it would not be popular with enterprise companies. I don't have experience in a closed environment. But I think if you don't have this environment, it would be good and suitable for them too.

Veritas is suitable for medium-sized companies across various market sectors such as retail, oil and gas, etc. We can receive additional licenses. There is no issue with storage.

I rate the solution’s scalability a 7 or 8 out of 10.

You can expand and scale the product. It's not a problem at all. 

We might have five or six people using the solution right now. 

The product is scalable.

The solution's scalability is actually getting better. I have not tried to go into the virtual world with it, however, it says that the product can do it. I've not tried it due to the fact that we're using the other products for it, and have Veeam for a virtual solution.

There are three of us that would potentially could go into the product to use it. That includes a network administrator and myself.

At this point, we don't have plans to increase usage.

Our organization doesn't grow much. For our customers, however, it has been very valuable. The licensing structure is a bit difficult. You have to keep buying the licenses even if you have the capacity. It's not simple. 

This is a very scalable solution. If you want to scale outside of our building then it can be done easily. It just requires installation of a new media server that is then joined to the master server. I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one.

It is scalable, but its scalability should be improved. Currently, we are using it for 15 computers. When we tried to increase its usage to 17 computers, it was very slow.

In terms of Scalability, we haven't done much with it. I'm not sure how scalable Veritas is because we only have three or four sellers on one site. 

We have multiple sites, and each one is managed by a different Backup Exec.

It is easy to scale the solution. There is a limitation to the size or complexity of the environment that it will be optimal for, but it is scalable.  

I would give the scalability an 8/10. We have more than 50 to 60 servers. We were declined to accomplish what the servers needed for images at that scale. 

We can support 50 servers and after that, we use some higher angle or higher position user permissions for backups because of our infrastructure requirements. 

For deployment and maintenance, we only require 4-5 people.

This solution was designed for a middle-sized market. It scales properly for a small business.

The solution could scale if a company needed to. It wasn't a problem. 

The solution isn't really giving us what we need. We're seeing some limitations and we're finding it doesn't support us in the way we need it to. Therefore, we are looking at potentially moving off of it in the near future.

Normally we have about 17 people on the system, and three core people that handle the solution directly.

I'd advise a company, if it is smaller, or needs a comprehensive solution or a virtual environment, that Veritas may not be the best option.

As I start getting into the newer releases - I'm not at the most current release - I'll start taking a look not only at backing up on-prem data, but also the stuff that's in the cloud, stuff that's in Office 365, that's in Azure. We need to start reaching out and grabbing our data that's out there and successfully backing it up.

Backup Exec's scalability is good. We have 400 virtual machines supported by two instances of Backup Exec. 

We have about 35 to 40 people who use the solution. It's good for companies with a smaller infrastructure setup.

It is scalable.

For small enterprises, Backup Exec works flawlessly; However, they were trying to push us to their bigger enterprise backup, which was NetBackup. When I left my previous company, we were actually in the phase of implementing NetBackup. They recommend NetBackup for larger enterprises.

Overall, It scales up, but only to a certain point. If you want something bigger, you should look into NetBackup.

Yes, It is flexible in this area

It's not so scalable. If you need flexibility and scalability, you probably need different products. You need to go with a more advanced product, NetBackup for example.

If you have to go with scale, you should choose an enterprise product. This product, from my point of view, is more of a simple product.

This solution is very scalable, it can be implemented a two tier System spanning multiple locations.

Scalability of this solution is good.

Veritas Backup Exec is a scalable product.

Most of our clients are medium and enterprise-sized organizations.

The product has limited scalability. It comes down to the hardware, i.e. what we are using, based on its limitations. It can support anything. If you're OK to scale in terms of your hardware, it's going to support you; that is not a problem. But, the licensing structure is quite complex and, as mentioned, this is where they could improve. Licensing is quite complex to understand, we have to go back to the vendor every time to get the right product.

There were no scalability issues.

We have approximately sixty people using the solution.

The solution is scalable.

Backup Exec is scalable. 

This solution scales very easily. As soon as you add a new server, it backs it up immediately.

The scalability of this solution is good. It is very flexible.

There were no scalability issues.

It is scalable.

Veritas Backup Exec is a scalable product. This product is used for smaller customers, whereas NetBackup is used more as an enterprise solution.

There is nothing wrong with the scalability of the product.

The solution is very scalable. Whenever we grow, it's just a matter of adding new licenses, so it's easy. Right now, we are at about 800 ports. 800 devices are currently connected to the solution. It is a system that we use daily. It's always running in the background. We get reports and alerts, and we deal with them as needed. As the company grows, we plan on increasing usage.

It is very good.

Scalability is good but also limited in that I have to buy a full disk shelf in order to upgrade.

In terms of scalability, if you get rid of a server that belongs to the CASO, the catalogs won´t work. Restores get even more difficult. If you need to replace the CASO, it is very frustrating.

The scalability of this solution is good.

There were no issues with scalability, because we had all the necessary licenses.

We are a small company and I'm the only person using this product so we haven't tried scaling it. I think the next version, NetBackup, includes the option to expand. 

I don't think the solution has a lot of scalability.  There were a few areas that I tried out and I had challenges with them. I think that they have areas that they need to look at and make improvements. If I were to rate it out of ten, I would give it a seven.
