"The initial setup is easy."
"Setting up Backup Exec is straightforward. It took less than two weeks to get it up and running. You need maybe two people at most if you have a Veritas-certified engineer."
"The solution is good for small and medium-sized businesses."
"The GUI could be slightly improved."

"The GUI has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."
"Veritas Backup Exec should improve by having a user portal that customers can use."
"We've experienced some performance issues with Backup Exec. The backup jobs take too long to complete."
"I would like to improve their ability to back up the cloud environment. Additionally, it would be nice to have simpler UI."
"Compared to other vendors, there are features that you will find not included in Veritas."
"I have experienced some errors, such as failures, but there have not been very many."
"It is currently missing the dynamic backup feature for virtual machines, which is available in NetWorker. I can create politics in NetWorker to add virtual machines with specific tags, but I cannot do this in Backup Exec, which is a minus point for me. Currently, a user has to send a request to the Backup administrator to add a machine to the backup, but I should be able to create rules to automatically add a new machine to the backup. This kind of functionality is very important in current times, especially when we are using cloud solutions. I should be able to create more than one stream in a policy and specify how many streams I want to run in parallel in one policy. Currently, I have to manually create more policies to backup more than one virtual machine at the same time. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"The initial installation needs some effort."
"The solution is too heavy and complex with 1,000 menus and options that make it messy rather than lightweight."
