"Veritas Backup Exec is fully compatible with different tape libraries."
"In the global business world, Veritas has a very good name. I think they have a good solid product, and they are always trying to improve it, and update it. ;They know what the client actually needs, and they are up to the challenge of satisfying those needs."
"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"The solution is too heavy and complex with 1,000 menus and options that make it messy rather than lightweight."
"Better integration with non-Microsoft products would be an improvement."
"Expanding is difficult because if I want to add, for example, a terabyte of data, then I have to buy a disk shelf and it will cost me a lot."
"I have experienced some errors, such as failures, but there have not been very many."
"I would like to see this solution improve on faster restoration. Currently, it takes a long time to restore my data."
"One area that needs improvement is SQL backup. Backup Exec doesn't support higher availability."
"In the future, their console should not be complicated."
"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."
