Pros
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that.""Delphix's data distribution is powerful. It's easy to distribute data with this solution. The main advantage of Delphix is that it generates copies of data.""The performance offered by the product, its price, and its ability to handle structured and unstructured data were good when compared to the other products in the market.""The most valuable aspect is the product is easy to manage, with a good dashboard. We can easily configure it on the front end and back end.""The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases.""Data being available anytime is a life changer.""The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning.""It's really easy to install."

"The most valuable feature of Veritas Backup Exec is the ease of use.""Its reliability and the fact that we have all the skills that we need for Veritas Backup Exec are the most valuable.""It has good stability. Its interface is very good, responsive, and easy for restoring data. I use it for backup, encryption, and restore operations, and it works. I am using many agents from VM to LMDP. I also use an agent for SQL Server, which has advanced options because it is the Enterprise version.""The implementation is straightforward.""The product's most valuable feature is scalability.""In the global business world, Veritas has a very good name. I think they have a good solid product, and they are always trying to improve it, and update it. ;They know what the client actually needs, and they are up to the challenge of satisfying those needs.""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.""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."

Cons
"GUI could be improved.""My only complaint about this solution is the price.""Delphix is quite expensive.""Delphix is a strong solution for virtualization, but it's not strong enough for creating data, so we have to use another solution for creating new data.""One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating.""The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly.""As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms.""Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."

More Delphix Cons →

"It could be improved in the area of reporting and ease-of-use.""Its scalability should be improved.""There is no training provided, and their technicians are unaware of the features available.""Currently, the solution does not have the capability to restore a single mailbox, so you lose a lot of time having to restore for example ten mailboxes just to recover one.""The EDR should be looked at, as the operating system is too weak.""A web console would be great because nowadays a lot of products are web-based and you can access the console from various environments. So I would recommend bringing this feature in the next solution.""Something within the software itself isn't quite right. There may be a bug or glitch. It will work fine for weeks and then all of a sudden it just tanks.""The solution could improve by having better documentation."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Veritas Backup Exec users.

    An IT Network Analyst at a manufacturing company says, “The backup potential of the solution is very good. It's protected us in the past very well and allowed us to get up and running after an attack with minimal loss. As far as if we need to restore a file, the solution absolutely has improved the way our organization functions. It saves us a lot of time. We're backing up all of our servers with it.”

    PeerSpot user Masoud G., Senior Network Administrator at MapnaBE, mentions, “I prefer to use a tape library and Veritas Backup Exec is fully compatible with different tape libraries. So I prefer this software. It also has easy user and file recovery.”

    Kayode O., Chief Technology Officer at a tech company, explains, “This solution creates a differential backup to reduce storage requirements. This solution is not complex and you do not have to be too technical to use it. Veritas offers granular restore, which is an option that many other solutions do not have. It allows you to restore, for example, a single SharePoint document, rather than an entire site.”

    Rowland G., Product Brand Manager at Epsidon Technology Distribution, states, “The one thing for the last 12 months which has been very good for Veritas was the instance-based license. This means that you're able to license per instance, not only per physical server. And also, the incremental backup which they introduced for virtual servers, where it makes it much quicker to restore, it just automatically is able to mount it back to the original backup. This makes it much quicker when you're doing the restore.”
