"It's useful, it works, and it's fairly reliable."
"We are happy with this product and have not found any issues while using it."
"With Azure Backup, you can readily make your environment if your setup somehow fails on the cloud or on-premises."
"One of the most valuable features is security and connectivity to the data."
"The fact that Azure Backup is integrated is one of its biggest advantages."
"The most valuable features of Veritas Backup Exec are the easy-to-use intuitive GUI. It is very easy to understand. I have never lost data and I have been able to recover all the data I need."
"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."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"The ease-of-use in general is great."
"The flexibility is very good."
"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 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."
"The dashboard was good. I loved to see the maintenance dashboard every time I logged on. That was my first screen because it always gave me a reminder of how many days before my next renewal."
"Azure Backup's licensing model is very challenging because it doesn't give a clear picture."
"I once tried restoring a Linux environment, and the size of the Linux VM or the data disk was really huge. It took a really long time to restore the environment and send the data from the storage to the disk. It took around 25 to 30 minutes, which was much longer than I anticipated. They can improve the duration of such restore operations. In the next release, it would also be good if they could reduce the duration for transferring the data from their storage to the actual storage while creating a virtual machine. They can reduce the duration or increase the data transfer rate."

"Its scalability should be improved."
