There absolutely is a feature comparison matrix. There is a link to download it about 3/4 of the way down this page - https://solve.elq.symantec.com/be15_en

The page is also available in German, French, Spanish, Italian and Russian if that helps

No. I have not seen such table. If you want to upgrade you should be upgrading to BE 15 and not BE 2014. Since the interface of BE 15 is quite different from BE 2010, you should download BE 15 and try it out in trial mode to familiarize yourself with it before upgrading

Apart from the above suggestion of using BE in trial, have a look @ this KB - https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.DOC5216.html

In addition to the above, the release notes of the new versions also contain information as to what is no longer supported.

This is about as good as it gets.

Thanks!

We are still using BE2010. Compare with BE2014 SP2,what feature or function upgraded in BE2015 make it worth to reconsider to upgrade to BE2015 instead of upgrade to bE2014 SP2?

Interesting. Backup Exec 15 is the current shipping product and whilst you can still order Backup Exec 2014 (which is now end of life), the version upgrade MSRP is the same whichever version you buy, so why wouldn't you upgrade to Backup Exec 15?

BE 2015 will have support for VMware 6.0 on release (or does as it is released!).

It is the latest and greatest and you have no reason to load BE 2014 unless there is some application/OS that BE 2014 supports where it doesn't support it in BE 2015.

Thanks!
