"I feel like it's a 360 degree solution for protection, Backup, Disaster Recovery"
5/5
What do you like best about Arctera Backup Exec?

The amount of tools that are available in the product. The backup exec services themselves which by their own; can support so many different methods of backing up data. The extensiveness of the platform and rule setting, backup job credentials and testing validity. Inter-operability with a variance of tape library systems. Excellent support and service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arctera Backup Exec?

I would have to honestly say there were some areas when the system yields difficulty in working with my LTO tape library. It is a supported library but there have been challenges, allbeit maybe one or two instances I can remember; where I needed to get support involved on the matter.

"Backup Exec - An easy to use best backup software - safe and secure"
5/5
What do you like best about Arctera Backup Exec?

Veritas backup software is a friendly user backup software which is safe and secure by all means and well protected with all features including cloud storage protection as well.

The best GUI which i have ever seen compared to other complex softwares and with a very good track record of backing of Veritas for a long period in the backup industry as a leader.

The ease of use for any simple new user with very minimal clicks to enable, schedule or restore backups is the core of this application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arctera Backup Exec?

Login screen to be enabled with MFA enabling is one point which i would prefer to be enabled with users being given acess based on their roles which is not there. In simple terms Role based access control to be enabled.

Also the report generation is not automated in such a way that it can be saved in a different location in a different server which has to be done manually which is a very time consuming and a monotonuous task Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
