"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"The client caches and deduplication system have a few problems."
"The initial setup is a bit complex and could be simpler."
"The solution could be a bit easier to use in the sense that they need to make it simpler to backup products and restore items."
"The management of this solution is a little bit difficult for IT administrators. They have to be trained before going through the system."
"The UI is quite old. We've been using this UI since last year, and they haven't changed it. It would be better to update the UI periodically and create attractive dashboards from an administrative point of view."
"Dell hasn't done a good job at handling these upgrades, or the way EMC used to handle them."
"The performance takes up a lot of resources, unfortunately."
"The configuration and expansion aspects of the solution need improvement. They're complicated and don't really integrate well."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"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."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
