A superb alternative for email backup

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Backup Exec from other similar products?

Discrete application data may be quickly and agilely recovered from storage using Backup Exec because it offers highly optimized backup functionality as compared to competitors. Furthermore, no other support team takes customer problems as thoroughly as the staff at Backup Exec and that fact makes it more customer-centric and customer's favorite solution.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I absolutely love how it functions, how it can be configured, how it protects our data, and how nice it is laid out to give us the impression that we are working in an interesting and familiar environment. We may integrate with an ever-expanding collection of products through the Backup Exec solution to assist us in running our business with confidence.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The key structural problem in our use scenario is that the VMware operator tries to take a screenshot of the full data mass including all discs if a VMware virtual server has a significant quantity of data housed on non-system discs. As a result, the screenshot may become unreasonably huge because it must fit in the VMware repository, where there might not be enough free space.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you want a flexible, powerful email backup solution, Backup Exec would be your preferred place. After using it, you'll feel satisfied and confident about spending money on it. Its functioning is simply amazing and extraordinary. In addition to being very adaptable, extraordinarily well-organized, and feature-rich, its cost will also meet your budgetary needs.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Trustworthy
  • Unique Features
  • Effective Service

All-in-one and scalable email backup solution

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Backup Exec from other similar products?

The most striking characteristic is that, in comparison to previously deployed products, Backup Exec is simple to configure in both simple and complex environments. It features an easy-to-use interface, and I discovered all the options I required there. Additionally, the software is continually updated with new functions that are required by our business.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

When it comes to scale and maintenance, this system is superior. Once Backup Exec has been correctly configured, this product is among the easiest and most reliable ones I have ever used. In our experience, we hardly ever need to check the device once it is operating. One of the key reasons we admire the software is that it enables a wide range of backup settings.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Due to my volume of work and because I need more regular updates, completing the upgrades on time was overly difficult for us and it takes a lot of time. I don't think there is a problem with the product, and I think this issue will be resolved if I schedule updates so that I can adequately address it.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

You will also like how great the tasks and activities are shown, and the system's dependability is what makes it the best choice for IT pros to secure information and virtual machines. Because it is straightforward to build and configure, Backup Exec software enables the typical user to perform professional data backup.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Efficient Service
