Featured Reviews

Ingvar  Ingason - PeerSpot reviewer
An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.
OmobolajiOlaloku - PeerSpot reviewer
Highly stable, intuitive design, and integrates well
The scalability of Veritas Backup Exec is good. Veritas has physical hardware appliances, and hard disks, you can easily upgrade your backup appliances to have more storage if needed. It is easy to scale. We have approximately 200 people who use this solution in my organization. We are happy with the usage at this time. I recommend this solution for large-scale and enterprise companies.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
"We are happy with Veritas Backup Exec's stability."
"The disk-to-disk paid backup feature is quite good, and file locking is a very important feature."
"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."
"I like that Backup Exec integrates with Microsoft Exchange. We can retrieve backups from the email boxes."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas Backup Exec is the ease of use."
"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 interface for this solution is excellent, and it is easy to restore files compared to other solutions."
"Veritas is simple and easy to deploy. In terms of the presentation and UI, they do their job well."
 

Cons

"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"It could be cheaper."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There's one common issue with tape backups: the tape might have some space left, but Backup Exec says it's not writable and needs replacement. We've encountered this with multiple clients, so it doesn't seem environment-specific. It's likely related to the software. We usually just format the tape and use it again without much investigation."
"Enhanced support for cloud backup needs to be added."
"The deduplication feature can be improved."
"I would like to be able to create a restore task that can be scheduled so that the same restore action will be performed automatically."
"Veritas Backup Exec should improve by having a user portal that customers can use."
"There still a lot of room for improvement in synthetic technologies, especially when targeted to deduplication media."
"Veritas can improve the user interface and the information displayed."
"I wish that they have an outlet for the other products from Veritas built into the Backup Exec product. For example, Backup Exec does only server backup. Currently, it is possible to read the backup of one other product, but if they can add more products so that you can just go into the dashboard of these other products by clicking on a button within the Backup Exec product, it would be great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
"The product is affordable."
"The price of this solution is a bit high."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is good."
"It has a good price-value ratio. Its price-value ratio is better than Veeam."
"It is cheap compared to the other backup technologies. It all depends on the requirements."
"The price is reasonable for the features it offers."
"Its price is reasonable."
