### "Veritas Backup Exec is a backup product that, when we used it, was not without flaws." — 3.0/5

> **Russell** | *5 August 2024* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Once configured the product ran well enough to create good backups and was not difficult to setup.
> 
> **Cons**: Backups had frequent failures and issues, support was not what it should have been for an enterprise level product.
> 
> We used Backup Exec for several years to push backups to tape and to physical hard disks.  Failures were frequent and frustrating.

### "Why I left Veritas" — 5.0/5

> **Zalman** | *21 January 2024* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I used it for years and it was always reliable. However, I can't recommend the product any more. Read the cons.
> 
> **Cons**: In July \& Aug 2023, I tried for 2 months get a demo of the latest version. I only had one return phone call and the person didn't follow up. No reply to emails even though I had this persons email address. I was totally ignored. The sales agent said that they are understaffed because of COVID from the last 2 years. It wasn't possible to see a demo of the latest version. I gave up after 2 full months. I had older versions that stopped working once the server NetframeWork was upgraded. Veritas said one could only buy a newer version. They were not going to fix the older versions.
> 
> It served me well for 25 years. However, I don't know what the current version can do. They were not able to show me a demo. In the end I bought Veeam.  There are a few features that I use. There is the normal backup and restore. Replication on to the cloud. The 2 capabilities that I found important was (1) an IMMUTABLE Backup. It is a local secondary backup that can't be over written. Good protection against ransomware. It requires a Linux OS. (2) If the server crashes, I can bring up a backup and have people continue working until a new server is created. The only issue is that this can't be backed up while being accessible to the end user.  Unitrend offers (2),but not (1). They only have Cloud Backup.

### "Data Recovery Zone" — 4.0/5

> **Theint Zarchi** | *4 April 2024* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Cost savings
Less storage and bandwidth
Enhanced backup security
Fast recovery
> 
> **Cons**: Upgrading version 
Full and incremental backup sizing is the same suddenly
