Easy to setup, good support and stable product
When we started, we used Acronis for both cloud and on-premises backups. Protege was a reliable solution, and the cloud-focused approach is well-suited for our current needs. If you require both cloud and on-premises backup capabilities, Acronis is a more comprehensive solution. For solely cloud-based backups, Protege is a solid option.

Ease of deployment and excellent support ensures seamless data security
I am working with Veritas Backup Exec, and that is the one I use. The value of using Veritas Backup Exec across physical and virtual environments is significant. I had a chance to use Veritas Backup Exec on physical and virtual environments, but not on the cloud. The benefits from the platform support of Veritas Backup Exec are that it works very nicely for physical and virtual environments. Veritas Backup Exec is affordable for my customers. My customers use the solution on-premises and in virtualization. Securing the data for customers is obviously a significant benefit of Veritas Backup Exec. I highly recommend using Veritas Backup Exec for backup as it is very easy to use, easy to deploy, and the support is also very nice. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Veritas Backup Exec a 9.5.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Since it is on the cloud, it is a very stable solution."
"The flexibility is very good."
"When something goes down, and we need to restore data, the most used case is being able to restore it. Veritas Backup Exec allows you to restore down to the file level."
"Overall, it's a very good product."
"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is a good backup tool."
"The interface easy to use and it is compatible with most backup devices."
"The solution is very scalable. Whenever we grew, it was just a matter of adding new licenses, so it's easy to grow."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement would be expanding its capabilities beyond Azure-specific backups."
"Initial setup is a bit complex and needs some expertise for troubleshooting when something goes wrong."
"I would like to see them improve on faster restoration. Currently, it takes a long time to restore my data."
"Veritas Backup Exec should be more user-friendly. The costs should also be much lower and it should be easier to go through the disaster recovery process."
"Veritas Backup Exec should be more user-friendly. The costs should also be much lower and it should be easier to go through the disaster recovery process."
"It's not so scalable. If you need flexibility and scalability, you probably need different products."
"There are some issues with the Backup Exec Library and the random picking of tapes."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."
"Some improvements are needed to enhance flexibility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing can be improved."
"It is affordable, but I hope that the price will come down a lot because of other competitors. It is a good price for the customer, but sometimes, the competition provides a much lower price. There are two ways to license it. You can license it per instance or per terabytes of data that we are mocking up. It is enough because it is not so complex. It is good when you're working with customers."
"We are satisfied with the price of this solution."
"I would like to see a better licensing model. They changed it and it's just horrendous."
"There is an evaluation license available to test this solution."
"It is not an expensive product."
"If your company can afford it, go for it."
"Its price is reasonable."
