"Veeam Backup Replication is stable I have not had any problems."
"The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication."
"I like Veeam a lot because it solves problems, is stable, and runs very well."
"Before Veeam, we had backup infrastructure sprawl. Veeam was able to reduce our overall backup windows while reducing our dedicated backup infrastructure."
"Pricing is fairly reasonable and not overly expensive."
"The restore capabilities are the most valuable features."
"The granular restoration that it provides for a business application is most valuable. For example, for Exchange, we can restore a single mailbox or email. We can also do SQL Server restoration and bare-metal recovery for operating systems."
"The product’s configuration and settings are very easy."
"We can easily expand the ability of the solution."
"Veritas NetBackup is a reliable, easy-to-use, and easy-to-deploy solution."
"Veritas NetBackup provides good backup performance, and I can mount the snapshot without an installer."
"It's a good product, it does what we want it to do."
"The product is stable and reliable."

"It could use DR features similar to Zerto."

"Add an archive option to support legal obligations."
"The price could be lower."
"Cross-hypervisor replication can be improved."
"The parallel backup process from the Veeam server to Veeam has some limitations. The number of parallel backups should be increased and the compressional is very low. Sometimes it is half or one-third, but other backup solutions' compression levels are very high."
"I have been involved in upgrades. They have not been straightforward. Some of them have required us to make changes to our architecture and production environment."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of a Sandbox feature like Veeam Sandbox."
"Improvements can be made to the service by providing better and more competitive ratios on data backups. The functionality for backups is there with Veritas, but I would like to see them optimize and enhance this feature more."
"The licensing costs could be more affordable."
"You cannot tell what your costs are going to be by using the dashboard, which is something that should be improved."
"The HTML interface is a web application that does not offer all the features."
