Overall Satisfaction with Veritas Backup Exec

Veritas Backup Exec not for resale version is being used to backup all critical server based data on linux and windows servers.

Pros

  • Backs up data
  • Backs up data to usb drives
  • Backups data to MS Cloud

Cons

  • User Interface
  • Job creation
  • Alert management
  • Cheap available through techsoup for non-profits
  • Does require some learning
  • Cumbersome interface requires more time to setup and perform daily tasks
We moved away from Unitrends for one reason only. Pricing. Unitrends continued to raise their pricing and renewal fees where we were no longer able to afford it. Veritas Backup Exec provided the functionality needed at the best price point for us.
