Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The most valuable feature is the backups."
"I like that they have some new devices that are simpler to use because they kind of tie right into the cloud."
"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
"This solution works well and has good integration with technologies such as VMware and Hyper-V."
"It's quite stable, and so far, we have had no technical issues with Veritas Backup Exec."
"We are happy with Veritas Backup Exec's stability."
"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."
"The flexibility is very good."
"It is a good backup tool."
"Veritas Backup Exec is easily managed."
"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery."
"Their restoration protocols could be better. I pulled all my clients out of their cloud mostly because I wasn't confident that they could restore out of the cloud. This was backed up by friends who had been burned by stuff like that. We moved away because of the lack of resources to restore from a potential catastrophic failure. It's challenging, and in some cases, they couldn't do it because they didn't have enough resources. For example, if there was a major disaster, and everybody needed their images out of the cloud, they couldn't give them to everybody."
"Better integration with non-Microsoft products would be an improvement."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Whenever a job fails, it would be a great improvement to be able to resume the job from that feature. Suppose a job was started this morning and that it is going on while there are interruptions like network issues, server restart issues, server connectivity issues, services stopping, etc. For some reason, let's assume that the job failed or that it was mistakenly canceled by another person. It will be a great improvement if that failed job can be continued."
"We need to have duplication and better compression."
"The price of this solution is very high."
"There are some issues with the Backup Exec Library and the random picking of tapes."
"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 could improve the analytics. If there were some more detail in our scan reports it would be beneficial."
