Room For Improvement

Norton Small Business requires better pricing, enhanced features, and fewer notifications to improve user experience and market availability.
Veeam Data Platform needs better integration, improved usability, fortified security, and simplified licensing to address pricing concerns and expand capabilities.
Reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.
OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future.
Compared to IBM, Veeam Data Platform is simpler but brings some challenges with automation in backup and Oracle backup configuration.
 

Setup Cost

Norton Small Business offers affordable yearly licenses but frequent upsells for additional features can be a drawback for some.
Veeam Data Platform offers competitive pricing with flexible licensing but can be costly, particularly for larger environments and cloud integration.
I believe it is not expensive; it's the regular price.
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
Veeam Data Platform is more expensive than OpenStack because we pay for it in US dollars, while we pay for OpenStack in Egyptian pounds.
 

Valuable Features

Norton Small Business offers comprehensive virus protection, secure features, multi-platform compatibility, and 24/7 support via a user-friendly dashboard.
Veeam Data Platform offers user-friendly management, rapid recovery, seamless integration, virtual backup, and strong data protection features.
The most important aspect of this platform is data security with immutable data in the storage.
The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.
Veeam Data Platform provides me with the most useful features such as application restore, single file restore, backup and replication, and continuous replication.
