"The cost is expensive."
"It gets a lot of new features, but improvements in basic functionality are often sacrificed for a shiny new bullet point to put on sales presentations."
"Veritas could simplify the firmware recovery in terms of the deployed. The process shouldn't be dependent on the agents. It should be completely agentless."
"The pricing is a bit of a concern. If could be lower."
"There may be a learning curve."
"I do not really like NetBackup as it is coming from a mix of other software packages."
