"The user interface is good."
"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one."
"This solution is not complex and you do not have to be too technical to use it."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"The disk-to-disk paid backup feature is quite good, and file locking is a very important feature."

"The most valuable feature of Veritas Backup Exec is the ease of use."
"Its reliability and the fact that we have all the skills that we need for Veritas Backup Exec are the most valuable."
"The interface for this solution is excellent, and it is easy to restore files compared to other solutions."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"The storage capacity is very low."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"The integration with SaaS applications like Office 365 needs to be improved."
"It's not too stable for client-server architecture. Center Management is not so interactive, and then there are some issues regarding the complex licensing which needs improvement."
"The cost is quite high. Along with the general costs, the supposed agents that you have to buy for the various options that you want to use ends up driving the costs higher as well."
"There is no training provided, and their technicians are unaware of the features available."
"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."
"I would like to improve their ability to back up the cloud environment. Additionally, it would be nice to have simpler UI."
"More stable environment in a WAN infrastructure."
"The backup is not robust enough when you have a lot of technology."
