Before using the solution we used Legato Backup and Symantec Backup which are both run with Linux operating systems. We switched because this solution is easier to use.

Senior Data Center Administrator at a manufacturing company with 501-1,000 employees

We are also using Veeam and Symantec.

Veeam is completely different when it comes to virtualization, such as virtual machines.

We use Veeam for the majority of our backups.

If I had to rate Veeam, I would give it a ten out of ten.

I'm not sure if a different solution was ever used. I've been at this company for 12 years and we have only used it. They used it even before I arrived. I'm not sure if anything came before it.

Before Veritas Backup Exec, we were using a solution provided by a South African company called Vox Group. They used to monitor directly from each office. They had their own interface monitoring for monitoring the devices.

Service Engineer at a performing arts with 201-500 employees

Veritas was already in place.

We installed Veeam for a new client a few months ago.

The installation of Veeam was hectic. It was difficult at first, and the process took longer than we had anticipated.

It required a lot of other applications. It has several dependencies, even at the client.

We were using Data Protection Manager prior to Backup Exec. We switched to Veritas because we saw by comparison that it was a better product for our situation with more capabilities.

Lead Technical Specialist at a tech services company

We are actually using two to three solutions at the moment. We are using the Arcserve Backup as they have also been a major player in the market for many years. We were using it and it was OK, but they have not advanced in terms of their technology for many years. for this reason we had to switch to Veritas.

I have used numerous backup products. My personal preference would be IBM Tivoli Store Manager (TSM). Cost is always a factor and Veritas Backup Exec is very competitively priced.
