"The setup is very easy."
"Veritas is simple and easy to deploy. In terms of the presentation and UI, they do their job well."
"The solution is good for small and medium-sized businesses."
"I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one."
"The solution is very scalable. Whenever we grew, it was just a matter of adding new licenses, so it's easy to grow."
"Synthetic backup is valuable. It gives you the possibility to do a synthesized backup, which means that it combines a full backup and incremental backup data and gives it to you in one stream. So, you don't have to restore the full backup and then later go and restore the incremental backup. You can do that in one go."

"The usability and interface of the solution are good."

"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."

"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"I would like to improve their ability to back up the cloud environment. Additionally, it would be nice to have simpler UI."
"Veritas Backup Exec's dashboard feature could be enhanced."
"The price of this solution is very high."
"The solution lacked local support, which became an issue for us and our customers. They needed to have more presence on the ground."
"Veritas Backup Exec should improve by having a user portal that customers can use."
"It doesn't support the AIX platform."
"There still a lot of room for improvement in synthetic technologies, especially when targeted to deduplication media."
