"The solution is very stable, especially if you are using a RAC environment."
"The possibility of recovering up-to-the-moment data is very useful."
"The initial setup is simple."
"It has the ability to support all kinds of backups. It can be used to back up databases, operating systems, virtual machines, Lotus Notes, and Exchange. It can also do remote image backups for remote sites. It integrates and works with Data Domain. It is an enterprise-class product that can be used for anything and everything across multiple sites and locations. It is also very scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Dell NetWorker is its quick configuration and handling of large databases."
"When you reach out to your maximum license availability, or you exceed your license limit, NetWorker never stops doing your backups."
"Dell NetWorker's valuable feature is its ability to configure the network for immutability, specifically for backups."
"The tool is easy to use, stable, and performs well, but it depends on the environment where it is deployed. It is leaning more toward huge enterprises where it is positioned. It needs to be as easy as others but addresses more complex requirements."
"The most valuable feature is that the backup and restoring process is very fast."
"The standout feature is its connectivity and robust support. They are easily easy to get hold of, making it convenient for us."
"The policy-based backup feature is very helpful."
"I think the solution is very intuitive, effective, and easy to use."

"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is a total backup solution. We don't have to buy other applications to do it."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup Appliance is duplication and covers many applications."
"The UI is not user-friendly."
"It's not easy to integrate. We have to read a lot of documentation in order to configure the solution."
"The implementation process could be improved."
"Its console UI should be better. It should also have more out-of-the-box reporting functionalities. It should also have easier cloud integration. They have got cloud boost and things like that, but if you want to directly back up to the cloud, I'm not too sure whether you can do it. For example, you can easily send data from Commvault to AWS, Azure, or a container, but it seems to be not so easy in NetWorker."
"I would like to see the user interface improved, more documentation, faster support, and it could be easier to configure."
"While upgrading to a new version, we encounter challenges related to specific algorithms or code regulations."
"The web console could be a lot better."
"The end-user experience is not good."
"The NetBackup software is based on Red Hat Linux, but we should have multiple software options for that. We should have more OS options. Also, there are too many tools and intermediaries. Everything should be built into an all-in-one solution."
"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment."
"The tool's pricing is expensive and could be lower."
"With technical support, it feels like they aren't well trained and it takes forever to get answers out of them."
"The product must improve its recovery features."
"The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk."
"Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
