"The flexibility is very good."
"Its reliability and the fact that we have all the skills that we need for Veritas Backup Exec are the most valuable."
"The most valuable features of Veritas Backup Exec are the easy-to-use intuitive GUI. It is very easy to understand. I have never lost data and I have been able to recover all the data I need."
"One nice feature with Backup Exec is mainly that disaster can happen to any server and the disk image can be destroyed very easily. It's also easy to fully email the backup image and restore the server."
"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
"Once the solution is integrated with the Exchange, you just click Exchange to back up that file."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to back up IBM Power virtual servers."
"I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one."
"A technical person who hasn't received any dedicated training or hasn't gone through the documentation part of the solution may find the product to be a little non-intuitive at times."
"The solution lacked local support, which became an issue for us and our customers. They needed to have more presence on the ground."
"In the future, their console should not be complicated."
"The integration with SaaS applications like Office 365 needs to be improved."
"We need to have duplication and better compression."
"There's one common issue with tape backups: the tape might have some space left, but Backup Exec says it's not writable and needs replacement. We've encountered this with multiple clients, so it doesn't seem environment-specific. It's likely related to the software. We usually just format the tape and use it again without much investigation."
"I wish that they have an outlet for the other products from Veritas built into the Backup Exec product. For example, Backup Exec does only server backup. Currently, it is possible to read the backup of one other product, but if they can add more products so that you can just go into the dashboard of these other products by clicking on a button within the Backup Exec product, it would be great."
"The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful."
"We've experienced some performance issues with Backup Exec. The backup jobs take too long to complete."
