Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that it is easy to create a backup by using Azure Backup. It also has a good user interface and nice features for sending notifications when any backup fails or there is a change in the status of virtual machines."
"You can select the tiering for your backup and manage your cost."
"The most valuable features of Azure Backup for us are its flexible retention options and the ability to recover to a second region with geo-replication and read access."
"The product is very reliable and easy to use."
"With Azure Backup, you can readily make your environment if your setup somehow fails on the cloud or on-premises."
"The fact that Azure Backup is integrated is one of its biggest advantages."
"The solution helped us use R2 RBO to back up frequently."
"Veritas is good for small environments."
"It is responding very well, and its performance is good. It has a lot of options. For backup, you can connect it to a cloud or a physical hard drive. They also provide an API for integration with different platforms and products. However, we have not integrated it with another product."
"The product makes it easy to restore data."
"It is a simple and flexible solution to work with."
"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."
"This is a very flexible product, which allows you to back up not only the physical environment but also the cloud environment."
"The ease-of-use in general is great."
"For us, the main two features that we appreciate in this application are backup and restore. They are the main purposes for which we are using this application."
"It still does not have a lot of customization, especially if your workloads are not in Azure."
"The solution is still in its infancy; it's not a mature product yet."
"It doesn't have the option to have a backup from the database. It has backup for the files, folders, and backup only the whole virtual machine. But if I need to do a backup from the Oracle database, from an Exchange server or from SharePoint, this ability isn't there. There is no application backup."
"In the next release, I would like to see the ability to back up to different cloud providers."
"I can’t use the solution to restore another native cloud solution. Azure must add this new feature."
"Azure Backup could improve by offering better integration for Oracle databases and enhancing features like granular restore and backup compliance capabilities."
"Ransomware protection is missing in Azure Backup."
"The length of time it takes to restore is our main source of frustration. It would be beneficial to shorten the time it takes."
"The integration with SaaS applications like Office 365 needs to be improved."
"We've experienced some performance issues with Backup Exec. The backup jobs take too long to complete."
"Expanding is difficult because if I want to add, for example, a terabyte of data, then I have to buy a disk shelf and it will cost me a lot."
"Veritas Backup Exec's dashboard feature could be enhanced."
"They could include backup functionality for enterprise environments."
"There is no training provided, and their technicians are unaware of the features available."
"The reports could be made in an easier way."
"One area that needs improvement is SQL backup. Backup Exec doesn't support higher availability."
