"The solution is easy to install and very stable."
"Its backup capabilities in general are great."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"It's scalable."
"The backup and replication features are most valuable."
"It's relatively easy to use and the ability to recover in a short period of time has been great."
"The initial setup for a simple environment is very easy. We just do next, next, next, next for the installation. It can be complicated in a complicated environment. It can be simple for a simple environment. I enjoy installing it. It has a lot of features."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution."
"The solution was stable and reliable."
"The ease-of-use in general is great."
"Veritas Backup Exec is fully compatible with different tape libraries."
"It has good stability. Its interface is very good, responsive, and easy for restoring data. I use it for backup, encryption, and restore operations, and it works. I am using many agents from VM to LMDP. I also use an agent for SQL Server, which has advanced options because it is the Enterprise version."
"It is a good overall suite of products."
"The flexibility is very good."
"Veritas is good for small environments."
"It is responding very well, and its performance is good. It has a lot of options. For backup, you can connect it to a cloud or a physical hard drive. They also provide an API for integration with different platforms and products. However, we have not integrated it with another product."
"The price could be lower."
"I cannot recall coming across any features that were lacking."
"I would want them to improve some technical features that are still missing because we are working with NetApp NVMe and they're not fully supporting it yet. But both NetApp and Veeam know about it and they're working on it."
"Veeam Backup & Replication should include a cloud solution."
"The Cloud version is not ready, they need maturity and ease of deployment in terms of management."
"The stability could be better, specifically in the cloud."
"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."
"Veeam needs to have more support for non-Windows systems and other databases. For example, I can do SQL with Veeam but not Informix or Oracle. This is unfortunate because we have many partners with Oracle systems and Informix databases, and Veeam does not yet have the agents we need for specific Oracle and UNIX operating systems."
"I would like to improve their ability to back up the cloud environment. Additionally, it would be nice to have simpler UI."
"The backup is not robust enough when you have a lot of technology."
"The one thing which could be improved, which we have informed Veritas about, is the ability to plug in to the cloud. Meaning, instead of using local storage if we're backing up a small user or end user, we want to be able to make it so they can direct the backups directly to the cloud. It can't be done at the moment. We can only back up to the storage then replicate to the cloud, but we cannot use the cloud as a source of storage."
"There needs to be an integration process of the endpoint devices so that we don't have to redo everything for different products."
"We've experienced some performance issues with Backup Exec. The backup jobs take too long to complete."
"A web console would be great because nowadays a lot of products are web-based and you can access the console from various environments. So I would recommend bringing this feature in the next solution."
"Something within the software itself isn't quite right. There may be a bug or glitch. It will work fine for weeks and then all of a sudden it just tanks."
"The price of this solution is very high."
