Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This is a stable solution."
"It has a lot of stock reports. I believe over 300 canned reports, which for the most part meet a lot of generic needs."
"The reporting feature and the Dell's continuous improvement of the solution are the most valuable features. The solution not only supports Dell Power Products but also other products."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible and has a lot of out-of-the-box functionality. You can configure the dashboards or you can use a script. However, to fully utilize its capabilities you will want to use a lot of scripts which you will need advanced training. The reports can be customized for many things, such as chargeback billing."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication."
"It's durable — we achieve what we expect from it."
"The backup and restore features are helpful."
"Veritas NetBackup provides good backup performance, and I can mount the snapshot without an installer."
"It is easy to use, and you can run it with all kinds of client software environments. It works well with the most popular software, file systems, and operating systems. It is very useful to us."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility."
"The main thing I like about NetBackup is CloudPoint. You can take a snapshot of the endpoint and back it up with CloudPoint. The data backups are the most important."
"I think the support is fine. We haven't had issues with it."
"The solution offers the hardware and the software at the same time."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
"It's a bit difficult for first-time users."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"Dell Data Protection Advisor's feature for data domain protection needs enhancement."
"The solution requires more integration with our other solutions. I know that they have full integration with VMware because it is also from EMC. However, we have to have better integration with Microsoft and Nutanix as well."
"It is difficult to manage the solution with the available tools. You need to know exactly what are you are doing."
"Customization of reports or creating new reports can be difficult. Users need to have a deep knowledge of SQL. 70-80% of customers can't seem to understand how to do it. They don't know how to address reporting. If Dell EMC could simplify it, it would benefit the end-user."
"There is a steep learning curve to use the interface and to create new reports, this could be made easier. If the solution could provide more drag and drop functionality to build more advanced reports that would be very helpful."
"I would like to have support enabled for cloud backups."
"You cannot tell what your costs are going to be by using the dashboard, which is something that should be improved."
"I do not really like NetBackup as it is coming from a mix of other software packages."
"Technical support only gets back to us the following morning."
"Improvements can be made to the service by providing better and more competitive ratios on data backups. The functionality for backups is there with Veritas, but I would like to see them optimize and enhance this feature more."
"Like the other enterprise solutions, Veritas NetBackup isn't easy to implement. It's a little bit hard compared to other solutions like Data Protector for HPE. You have to struggle to learn a lot of features that Veritas NetBackup offers to customers."
"The pricing could be improved, and the interface could be more intuitive."
"The ability to use different disk appliance brands as Pure Disk (not OST), such as EMC Data Domain ."
