Cons

"The pricing policies could be improved. So in future releases of the product, I would like to see better pricing, primarily."
"I would like to see more mature XDR and EDR features."
"​For you to actually see the full logs, you have to use additional tools or even contact support so they can pull them with own tools."

"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."

"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."

"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
