A superb alternative for email backup
Likeliness to Recommend
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
