"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.

"Backup Exec gets the job done"
3/5
What do you like best about Arctera Backup Exec?

The product works for the most part as it should. It runs backups and allows me to restore files and/or vm's as necessary. I also use it to run SQL and O365 backups. That part works well. The interface is fairly easy to use, although not as easy as some other products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arctera Backup Exec?

Restoring Office365 items has been a bad experience so far. There is no way to restore to a local pst file, rather you have to restore to an Office 365 account. This takes significant time and expensive resources. Every other backup product I have ever used had this functionality. Had I known this, I probably would have gone a different route with my purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
