"The implementation is straightforward."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"I like the tool’s deduplication feature. We get a ratio of 9:1 for deduplication. The product is also Linux based. Last year, our organization faced some virus attacks. However, the backup was safe because of the product being a Linux version. HPE StoreOnce is a secure product."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"It is very easy to implement."
"It is pretty stable. We have one dedicated technician that is taking care of all the data protect. Typically, we have an issue once a month, if that. Or once every two months."
"Veritas NetBackup Automatic Image Replication and CloudCatalyst features allow me to replicate deduped backup images from one site to a remote site, as well as duplicating deduped images to the Cloud (i.e. AWS S3, etc.)"
"The Dedup and file storage is great."
"The feature that is most useful for us is that it backs up every application that we own."
"It provides us with the versatility to back up everything we require which eliminates the need for a secondary backup solution."
"Could be used for both of Physical and Virtual Environments."
"We have an issue with the last version on the latest backup of the solution as it is not compatible with Sybase 16.5."
"I think this is the best backup solution that we have. It is very good for the infrastructure."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"Agnostic backups."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"Planning for the implementation takes a lot of time."
"Veritas NetBackup has some limitations and it would be a benefit if we had better documentation."
"The user interface could improve, it seems a bit out of date."
"Netbackup can backup MySQL via Oracle policy, to be honest, this is not completely native support and this method has a few limitations. In fact, you can buy from Veritas (or Zmanda) clients for MySQL or PostgerSQL from Zmanda to backup MySQL or PostgreSQL on Linux."
"The product needs to improve its GUI. It needs to make use of a web interface."
"The cost is expensive."
"The solution is not easy to use. You need to train yourself step by step because it is complex, but it is a good solution. Its pricing could be cheaper."
"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."
