"The most valuable features are the VMware VADP backups and the support for data domains."
"Great deduplication feature."
"It is very easy to back up and recover files compared to other products."
"It has been around for so long, and it is very in-depth. It has a solution for everything that you can cover."
"Its ability to cover a large spectrum of products and operating systems is invaluable. We evaluated other products but always found certain limitations like some products had only intel-based virtualization, while others had power servers."
"I think the support is fine. We haven't had issues with it."
"The backup and restore features work very well."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."

"The solution could always be less expensive."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"Extra features come with additional costs."
"What needs to be improved in Veritas NetBackup is its interface, e.g. they should make it more user friendly. Scalability for this product could still be improved, particularly its hardware appliance scalability."
"Veritas NetBackup has been in the backup and recovery market for quite a long time, but somehow, from my own observations and from feedback from end users, its user interface is lagging behind other comparable solutions such as Veeam."
"Some of the hardware is out of support."
"It was very complicated, and it required a lot of work in terms of management. We have moved to Rubrik. One of the reasons for getting rid of Veritas NetBackup was the fact that at one point, we had the support staff with 12 to 15 people to manage Veritas NetBackup, whereas, with Rubrik, I'm the only one managing Rubrik. There is one more person who works with me mostly due to the fact that in case I'm not around, someone else knows what to do, but I'm the only one who is a full-time manager of Rubrik. The complexity of Veritas required a large staff to manage it. We had daily issues that had to be looked into and resolved. A lot of these issues revolved around Veritas' handling of VMware, which is why first we moved VMware off Veritas. After we did that, we were also able to reduce our staff count. Their licensing is a disaster. It is extremely complicated. In most cases, Veritas themselves can't understand their own licensing."
"They need to improve their support. In the beginning, their engineers had trouble understanding the issue we were presenting. It took a lot of conversations for them to start troubleshooting the problem."
"Enhancing reporting across the board would be beneficial."
"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."
