Simplified interface with good performance but needs monitoring
I need to use PowerStore and Veritas Backup Exec. It is a direct backup to types, and it is supported by my backup. It offers good performance and stability, and it works properly. I am happy with this program. It is still working on aligning with security requirements and data encryption for Amazon or ATAC. It has a lot of functions and security measures, which ensure our backups are secure.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"The solution has been very stable."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"The usability and interface of the solution are good."
"The platform has significantly improved our backup and recovery processes by efficiently managing data protection and supporting tape drives. It has also provided reliable data recovery solutions."
"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."
"The solution is stable."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can rely on it. It offers a quick recovery time when it's backing up items. The way it recovers data is excellent."
"This is a very flexible product, which allows you to back up not only the physical environment but also the cloud environment."
"The flexibility is very good."
"It is one of the most stable backup solutions."
 

Cons

"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"There still a lot of room for improvement in synthetic technologies, especially when targeted to deduplication media."
"There are some issues with the Backup Exec Library and the random picking of tapes."
"Some improvements are needed to enhance flexibility."
"Better integration with non-Microsoft products would be an improvement."
"One area that needs improvement is SQL backup. Backup Exec doesn't support higher availability."
"If you keep it for too long and the catalog gets really big, the application tends to move slowly."
"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."
"More stable environment in a WAN infrastructure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"The solution costs $700 per agent and is expensive compared to other products that offer better stability."
"I rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
"The solution could be more cost-effective."
"The product is inexpensive compared to enterprise software."
"Its price is a bit high. There is only the standard fee. There is no additional fee."
"The price of this solution is a bit high."
"I think, at least for the price I've seen, it could be lower compared to other products."
"I rate the price of Veritas Backup Exec a four out of five."
