We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and Veritas Backup Exec based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Azure Backup is good because it is entirely cloud-based, which means that you can be 99.9% sure that your backup is safe."
"When it comes to Azure Backup, the advantage is that it's native and it's very easy to configure. We don't require a separate tool or manage something on a separate server. At the backend, it's managed by Microsoft itself, and we don't need to manage it."
"It's very simple to configure which is very useful. It's not complex to configure it."
"One of the most valuable features is security and connectivity to the data."
"The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"The hardware is always updated and it's saved us a lot of money."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"I like that it's a stable solution and their support is good. I think Microsoft's commercial force is superior."
"The flexibility is very good."
"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 scalable. Whenever we grew, it was just a matter of adding new licenses, so it's easy to grow."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to back up IBM Power virtual servers."
"The product provides automated and faster data backup and recovery compared to other vendors."
"Once the solution is integrated with the Exchange, you just click Exchange to back up that file."
"We have never had any problem with storage and backups. It works very well and is a user-friendly solution."
"Veritas is good for small environments."
"Azure Backup could improve the backup data copies because they are not immutable."
"The product must improve on a database level."
"It doesn't have the option to have a backup from the database. It has backup for the files, folders, and backup only the whole virtual machine. But if I need to do a backup from the Oracle database, from an Exchange server or from SharePoint, this ability isn't there. There is no application backup."
"We would like to see some kind of notification given to the user that a file was not synchronized well or what may have happened."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"On-prem can be complex to set up but the cloud is simple."
"The Azure Backup support for on-premises service is limited."
"There is a limitation of 99 files restores per day which means that we can't complete a huge file restore. We would like Azure to increase the number of the possible file restorations."
"It is currently missing the dynamic backup feature for virtual machines, which is available in NetWorker. I can create politics in NetWorker to add virtual machines with specific tags, but I cannot do this in Backup Exec, which is a minus point for me. Currently, a user has to send a request to the Backup administrator to add a machine to the backup, but I should be able to create rules to automatically add a new machine to the backup. This kind of functionality is very important in current times, especially when we are using cloud solutions. I should be able to create more than one stream in a policy and specify how many streams I want to run in parallel in one policy. Currently, I have to manually create more policies to backup more than one virtual machine at the same time. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"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."
"The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful."
"Veritas Backup Exec's support services could be faster."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."
"The pricing of the solution is a bit high."
"It would be nice to improve the backup acceleration and the fast restoration required."
"They can work on the issue of the job timing out when it is unable to reach a selection item. It sometimes hangs up on the selection item, thus preventing the job from continuing."
