Overall Satisfaction with Symantec Backup Exec
I have used Backup Exec on multiple occasions, both on-site and on-customer side.
As for the on-site experience in the company where I worked, we needed to manage several local servers and we focused all backup policies on Backup Exec, as for customers we have proposed this software with customer satisfaction.
- Physical server management
- Virtual server management
- Centralized management through a single interface
- Some paid agents
- Simple interface but needs a minimum of study about functionality before having full control
- The interface could be al litte bit more attractive
- ROI should definitely be valued based on the time saved
- Less resources needed
- In large infrastructures, it can save on the number of personnel involved in system control
There are different alternatives like Iperius, Handy Backup or similar but for what is my experience , I have always been comfortable with this software and even the company that used it has never had the need to look for other software, for this reason has never been a thorough analysis on alternatives.
