"The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface."
"The utilization of Data Domain is crucial because of its integration with a key Veritas feature: retention lock. This feature ensures data integrity by preventing any alterations to stored data. When NetBackup interacts with Data Domain, enabling the retention lock feature ensures that neither administrators nor backup personnel can modify data stored within the system. This functionality is vital for compliance purposes and meets the requirements of auditors."
"Technical support has been great."
"Compared to a homemade installation, this appliance is very stable."
"It is very capable of scaling and very good for heterogeneous environments."
"The solution is useful for backups."
"We have good data backup coverage."
"The standout feature is its connectivity and robust support. They are easily easy to get hold of, making it convenient for us."
"Within their product lineup, they need to consolidate down to one product. Veritas doesn't have one product that does everything. So, Veritas can do everything, but you basically need to run two products. I would like them to combine all the capabilities into one release."
"We had some issues with the hardware backup appliance."
"Maybe they could add more cloud solutions."
"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."
"They currently have the Java concept and it should be less intensive and take less load."
"Main area that could be improved is the pricing, to make it more competitive"
"It's not a user-friendly solution. It's a little bit complicated. The UI is not very friendly."
"The restore tool is not friendly to newcomers."
"We had some problems with the backup of the physical server."
"It could be better integrated with other platforms."
"The product should provide more AI and ML features."
"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."
"They could simplify the process of installing, and provide more space for data during the process."
"The hybrid model is not that efficient if we want to off-site data; it takes a lot of time to upload the data on a regular basis."
"I would like the ability to recover a single folder within the backup of a virtual machine."
"Sometimes, the user interface doesn't work smoothly."
