Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."
"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."
"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates."
"They are the best support that we have had so far. When you contact or email them, they are very quick to respond. They always have someone available for us. That's what we want as a customer, we want someone to listen to us."
"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."
"Compression is the most valuable feature."
"The flexibility is very good."
"Veritas Backup Exec is fully compatible with different tape libraries."
"The solution is very scalable. Whenever we grew, it was just a matter of adding new licenses, so it's easy to grow."
"It is a good overall suite of products."
"Veritas is simple and easy to deploy. In terms of the presentation and UI, they do their job well."
"Veritas Backup Exec is easily managed."
"The backup solution comes in different versions to support different platforms."
"This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."
"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."
"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."
"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."
"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."
"There is no training provided, and their technicians are unaware of the features available."
"Veritas Backup Exec could improve the analytics. If there were some more detail in our scan reports it would be beneficial."
"Doesn't include disaster recovery."
"They can improve the reporting component. The reports aren't user-friendly at all. You have to download them to Excel to get statistics."
"Enhanced support for cloud backup needs to be added."
"Better integration with non-Microsoft products would be an improvement."
"We've experienced some performance issues with Backup Exec. The backup jobs take too long to complete."
