"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"The solution is very scalable. Whenever we grew, it was just a matter of adding new licenses, so it's easy to grow."
"This is a very flexible product, which allows you to back up not only the physical environment but also the cloud environment."
"The most valuable features of Veritas Backup Exec are the graphical interface, ease of management, and overall ease of use."
"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
"The backup potential of the solution is very good. It's protected us in the past very well and allowed us to get up and running after an attack with minimal loss."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can rely on it. It offers a quick recovery time when it's backing up items. The way it recovers data is excellent."
"The solution is good for small and medium-sized businesses."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."
"It would be nice to improve the backup acceleration and the fast restoration required."
"Veritas Backup Exec should improve by having a user portal that customers can use."
"The EDR should be looked at, as the operating system is too weak."
"It is not a recommended software when it comes to large environments where there has to be a minimal Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and/or Recover Point Objective (RPO)."
"It could be improved in the area of reporting and ease-of-use."
"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."
"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."
"The scalability could be improved even though the solution is targeted to small customers."
