"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"The most valuable feature from Veritas NetBackup is the data is very easy to backup. It is similar to VMware. They recently introduced a cloud feature that is useful."
"It provides us with the versatility to back up everything we require which eliminates the need for a secondary backup solution."
"The tool's information transfer and patching up is easy. The solution offers protection from ransomware which is also a valuable feature."
"This is the best solution that I know of."
"The most valuable features are the VMware VADP backups and the support for data domains."
"I think the support is fine. We haven't had issues with it."
"The solution has been very good over the years at fine-tuning various aspects of the product so that it is continuously made better."
"Ease of installing, configuring, upgrading, and troubleshooting."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"The storage capacity is very low."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"There is a big change in Veritas. In the past, we could easily change servers or appliances and continue working by restoring the catalog. We could change servers from Linux to Linux or Linux to Solaris and perform catalog restores to continue working. But with the new version, we are forced to engage Veritas' professional services, which is too expensive."
"In the next release, I would like to have a better way to protect against ransomware attacks and a better way of logging issues where you don't have to enable the verbose logging to capture the problems."
"It would be extremely helpful if the solution offered near-zero recovery time for SQL."
"It is not very user-friendly."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of a Sandbox feature like Veeam Sandbox."
"System administrators would be more efficient in NetBackup if the number of tools and command lines was reduced."
"Setup implementation."
"Maybe they could add more cloud solutions."
