"This product has a very clean and intuitive GUI."
"The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"The fact that it works with Synology is a big valuable point. Also, that we can check the functionality of a backup so easily. Cloud integration is valuable because the ability to not only backup locally, but to the cloud, has been a great addition to the already fantastic product. We can save so much time with Nakivo and are very happy that we found it and loved to use it for our solutions."
"We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs."

"This product has helped to centralize backups and made it easy to recover data."
"The interface, dashboard, and pricing are all perfect."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"One of the valuable features is the instant recovery for VMs. It reduces the RTO (Recovery Time Objective) drastically."
"We have virtual infrastructure, so restoring virtual machine systems from backups is also very easy."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is one of the most stable backup solutions."
"In the global business world, Veritas has a very good name. I think they have a good solid product, and they are always trying to improve it, and update it. ;They know what the client actually needs, and they are up to the challenge of satisfying those needs."
"Veritas is good for small environments."
"An improvement would be to give us more control over the email alerts, with different emails going to different addresses based on a set of rules."
"The interface can be a little clunky at times."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"They need to add a failover feature to the Essential Pro license in case the environment is a simple virtual environment and the client does not need to upgrade."
"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"It is missing the file and folder backup; however, this product is meant for virtual machine backup and recovery, so that is really outside of the scope of the software."
"I would love to see BackBlaze B2 implementation in the future, as that would be our preferred cloud destination, but Amazon and Wasabi are both very great choices in the meantime."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"The backup is not robust enough when you have a lot of technology."
"The solution could improve and adapt to new applications in the market so we can integrate Veritas Backup Exec with them to facilitate backup processes within these applications."
"The price of this solution is very high."
"It would be nice to improve the backup acceleration and the fast restoration required."
"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."
"Veritas Backup Exec's support services could be faster."
"The solution could improve by having better documentation."
"Currently, the solution does not have the capability to restore a single mailbox, so you lose a lot of time having to restore for example ten mailboxes just to recover one."
