Its data deduplication feature is amazing. The product comes with cloud features. It helps to save time."
"Data Domain is valuable, especially to restore data. For normal data, the restore from Data Domain is very efficient and fast."
"Data Domain Boost has a unique protocol. I don't think with other vendors you get the same efficiency. I work with some the other products, but this solution has amazing efficiency in comparison."
"The most valuable features are the performance and the duplication."
"I like the tool set, it's easy to work on and the support is brilliant."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is deduplication."
"Operationally, we are satisfied as there have been no issues or closures to report."
"The initial setup of DD Boost involves a simple procedure."
"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 NetBackup appliance features customized software that is designed for storage."
"The standout feature is its connectivity and robust support. They are easily easy to get hold of, making it convenient for us."
"The most valuable feature of the Veritas NetBackup Appliance is the virtual machine backups."
"The solution has a very easy-to-navigate user interface."
"The policy-based backup feature is very helpful."
"I can confidently say that I have managed more than 30 or 50 appliances over different time periods, and yet I never had a single hardware failure."
"It has a lot of very good features. The virtual tape library (VTL) feature is most valuable. Overall, it is easy to use."
"This product is expensive compared to other storage so the price can be improved."
"DD Boost needs to improve its interface. It should be easier to use."
"The solution could always be cheaper."
"The multi-tier functionality can be improved, but it is quite good. They could improve replication and perhaps support additional sharing network protocols. I would also like to see better implementation of NFS Version 3, but it is already implemented and quite usable as it is."
"The solution needs to be more user-friendly for the end-users."
"The solution needs a better gateway between the on-premises and cloud deployment models. We have to work around it or find a third party to assist."

"Though the customer uses the product, they don't receive active support from DD Boost even though they pay for it."
"I would like to see support for databases such as MySQL and MongoDB."

"The only drawback for NetBackup, and of course for Veritas, is that they have stuck to the same environment and to the same UI - User Interface. This needs to be improved in future releases. It needs to be more dynamic."
"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
"The price needs to be improved because it is really expensive."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The installation is cumbersome."
