"The most valuable features are the ability to create a trust relationship and historical reports."

"Disaster recovery primarily involves backup usage. We employ it for both backup and recovery purposes. The backup and recovery processes have been executed multiple times, even restoring data from backups created three to four years ago."
"If you are running on a legacy tape environment NetBackup is best."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"The installation was straightforward."
"You can back up the whole image."
"Offers good recovery quickly."

"I do not really like NetBackup as it is coming from a mix of other software packages."
"Endpoint backup capability is needed."
"We faced so many backup configuration issues. And from the Veritas side, they couldn't fix that issue. So we started from scratch, purchased everything, and then we configured everything. Therefore, the support could be better."
"I think reporting can always be improved."
"The product is not able to keep up with other competitors in the market."
"The deployment time is longer than it is with other products."
"Like the other enterprise solutions, Veritas NetBackup isn't easy to implement. It's a little bit hard compared to other solutions like Data Protector for HPE. You have to struggle to learn a lot of features that Veritas NetBackup offers to customers."
"It needs an easier interface."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
