<p>Infrascale's Backup &amp; Disaster Recovery service boasts responsive, proactive support with knowledgeable staff, quick resolutions, and user satisfaction.</p>
Sentiment score
7.2
Veritas Backup Exec support is generally good with responsive staff, but efficiency and consistency vary due to expertise and location.
The most valuable aspects of Infrascale’s support for my company are the turnaround time and the resolution time.
Their average mean time to resolve open tickets is an hour.
The right expertise, a timely response, and being able to get to the right person to help you resolve the problem are very important.
I see good technical engineer support resolving issues.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.2
Infrascale Backup offers scalable, efficient management but may need upgrades for hardware and capacity during significant growth.
Sentiment score
8.1
Veritas Backup Exec is scalable for SMBs, but may face challenges with large data volumes and complex environments.
One person can manage hundreds and hundreds of endpoints without any issues.
Now in the current version, I can run more than one process for backup in one job for more virtual machines.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
Users find Infrascale Backup reliable with minimal issues; responsive support and improved usability enhance overall satisfaction.
Sentiment score
7.3
Veritas Backup Exec is stable and reliable, with occasional service or configuration issues noted by some users.
I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.
There was a recent announcement in terms of moving Infrascale to the cloud, which makes it easier for the customer in terms of usability.
 

Room For Improvement

Users seek improved pricing clarity, bandwidth control, security, integration, dashboard functionality, intuitive interface, SSDs, and flexible licensing.
Veritas Backup Exec requires a simpler UI, cost reduction, cloud integration, better performance, and improved support for diverse environments.
Many customers do not rely on just one cloud provider and want to work with multiple clouds.
When the product works, there is really nothing to fix, but they can allow different types of backups, such as differential or incremental backups.
I aim to monitor the functionality and probably find something this year to monitor logs from our backup system and storage and notify us about any unusual activities.
We need to have a proper image backup with a documented restore procedure, as some users were unable to do the image backup restoration due to driver issues or similar challenges.
Some technology improvement is needed to manage my basic business continuity plan.
 

Setup Cost

Infrascale's pricing is competitive and flexible, though users find the licensing structure complex and occasionally higher than competitors.
Veritas Backup Exec provides flexible licensing with reasonable pricing, though advanced setups and technical support may incur additional costs.
To someone considering Infrascale but is concerned about the price, I would say that they should get Infrascale's service no matter what it costs because any downtime or any loss of data is substantially worse than any cost for backup.
The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others.
When I compare it with others, it is twice or three times cheaper.
The setup is a bit expensive at a corporate price
 

Valuable Features

Infrascale offers easy, rapid disaster recovery with robust features like fast VM boot-up, centralized management, and strong data protection.
Veritas Backup Exec is praised for its user-friendly interface, fast backups, stability, and versatile platform compatibility with strong support.
What I like the most about it is that backups and restores are simple, straightforward, and clean.
Performing backup and recovery can be done very intuitively with the solution and the interface that is part of the solution.
Veritas has technical compatibility with my hardware and other systems.
It has a lot of functions and security measures, which ensure our backups are secure.
My customers find the normal file system backup features of Veritas Backup Exec effective and valuable.

Harry Vining - PeerSpot reviewer
The overall ease of use and ease of management using the dashboard is excellent
I can't really think of anything that really needs to be improved from my perspective, because I only use the backup. Maybe someone who is using something else might have a different opinion on that. But for the online backup and recovery tool, I'm not going to say there's anything that needs improvement. They can always improve stuff. But from the top of my head, I can't think of anything. It does what it needs to do. That's it. It doesn't need to do anything more than what it does and nothing less than what it's doing. The Infrascale dashboard when it comes to centralized deployment and configuration is excellent. I have no problems with the solution. They could always make it better. They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement, but there's nothing on the top of my head that's saying, "Hey, this is what needs to be fixed." But, the programmers are probably working on their own things. So, there's always room for improvement.
Pawel Augustyn - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplified interface with good performance but needs monitoring
I need to use PowerStore and Veritas Backup Exec. It is a direct backup to types, and it is supported by my backup. It offers good performance and stability, and it works properly. I am happy with this program. It is still working on aligning with security requirements and data encryption for Amazon or ATAC. It has a lot of functions and security measures, which ensure our backups are secure.
