Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The initial setup is easy."
"Setting up Backup Exec is straightforward. It took less than two weeks to get it up and running. You need maybe two people at most if you have a Veritas-certified engineer."
"I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one."
"The product makes it easy to restore data."
"The solution was stable and reliable."
"The one thing for the last 12 months which has been very good for Veritas was the instance-based license. This means that you're able to license per instance, not only per physical server."
"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."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"You can back up the whole image."
"The installation was straightforward."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"There needs to be an integration process of the endpoint devices so that we don't have to redo everything for different products."
"At the moment, we have a very complex environment. It would take some time to deploy an environment like ours from scratch."
"Doesn't include disaster recovery."
"The solution is too heavy and complex with 1,000 menus and options that make it messy rather than lightweight."
"Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions."
"The initial installation needs some effort."
"Better integration with non-Microsoft products would be an improvement."
"Its scalability should be improved."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"It needs an easier interface."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
