Veritas Backup Exec Customer Service and Support

OmobolajiOlaloku - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Enterprise System Engineer at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

The support from Veritas Backup Exec could improve. The support we receive is offsite, and at times when we have an issue, the person helping may be in a different time zone. This has affected the quality of support.

I rate the support from Veritas Backup Exec a three out of five.

CEO at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

I used technical support years ago and it was good. The 2012 edition was bad but technical support really tried to work with it. 

There was an issue with a backup that took 24 hours to resolve, but by that time the backup had expired because support forgot to reset it.

I rate technical support a six out of ten.

We don’t have much recent experience in technical support. We haven’t used them in the last 12 months or the past three years. When we did deal with them, they were okay. They were helpful.

Maybe in the early years, we used to seek support, however, now, since we are quite versatile with it, we deal with any issues ourselves. We normally don't seek any support now. When we used them, maybe ten years ago, they were quite helpful.

I work with technical support a lot whenever there are technical issues. They have been very good. Although they sometimes do battle with something, they eventually get it right. So I will rate them nine out of 10.

I didn't face any problems just yet. I have not reached out to support. Typically, I can just search the internet and find an answer to my questions. I'd, of course, reach out if I had a huge problem.

I have been able to learn how to use this solution on my own, without training. Where I am, in Iran, we do not have an official Veritas branch. Therefore, most of the teachers are self-taught and have not used official technical support.

When I encounter an error, the first thing I do is visit the Veritas forum. Usually, I find a solution to the problem based on the type of error. In fact, the backup forum seems to be full and complete because there is no error that I have not been able to solve.

They are helpful, but they are not very fast. They respond, but it takes them 24 hours to send the first response, which is not good. I am using their standard support. They might have another better support.

IT Assistant at Hotel 2 Fevrier

I never required technical support from the vendor because they provided a lot of documentation with the product.

I had some difficulties in the first two months. I read most of the information and highlighted a few things, and since then, it is fine. For every update, they provide a lot of documentation.

Technical support needs improvement.

It is difficult to find a technician, or even a knowledgeable person because most of their technicians are not well-versed in their product.

We mostly worked with technical support via a portal for customer support. Largely, we've been happy with their level of service. They call us when we have issues and they help in whatever way they can.

DR
Network Administrator with 51-200 employees

I've used their technical support. If you can get somebody who knows what they're doing, it's good; and if you get somebody that you can easily understand.

The issues are the language barrier, as well as: You finally get somebody to call you back and you start talking with them. All of a sudden, they say, "Oh, this belongs to a different department." They shove me off and I have to wait again for somebody to call me back. It's not a very streamlined and not a very efficient way of providing support.

Technical support depends upon the person who answers the call. If they are in your time region, then you get better support, but if they're not in your region then there is a delay in the support and you lose valuable business for backup and restore. Overall, it is much better than the others.

IT Specialist at a energy/utilities company with 51-200 employees

The few times that I had to contact technical support had been a bit cumbersome. You had to keep calling and you just moved from one place to the other, and it wasn't that easy to get the support.

The online support, however, where you have to go into the portal to find the information, was much easier to deal with, compared to calling the help desk. There was enough information on the portal to be helpful if you ran into issues. Most of the time, my first option was the portal. I was able to find relevant information to help me, to get what I needed that way.

The solution is quite stable, so I've very rarely had to actually contact technical support.
