Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's so easy to work with."
"The flexibility. Being able to virtualize it, port it wherever I like, test my backups, test my DR capabilities whenever I like without impacting anybody."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"Being able to move data seamlessly from one-premise to the cloud (Azure). It works great. The backup solution is perfect for us."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data. You're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"The deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data."
"It's pretty simple. Once you set it, it goes; and then the idea of being able to get it to the cloud very quickly. It's kind of a set-it-forget-it."
"Most importantly is having that island into that datacenter, and being able to address things in the same console. Thus, it is irrelevant where it's stored."
"It supports multiple, heterogeneous platforms."
"It provides us with the versatility to back up everything we require which eliminates the need for a secondary backup solution."
"We believe that everything Veritas NetBackup offers, including backups, snapshots, deduplication, and replication, is valuable."
"This is a product that has been on the market for a while and they have mastered the backup process, especially when backing up to tape, for most environments."
"It is easy to use, and you can run it with all kinds of client software environments. It works well with the most popular software, file systems, and operating systems. It is very useful to us."
"I have found the Media Server Deduplication tool, deployment policies, and agentless features to be the most valuable features."
"We were able to witness the benefits of using the solution within weeks of using it."
"This product is flexible enough to allow for backing up data from physical machines, as well as from your cloud environment."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"When the customer is using SaaS applications like Office 365, the integration falls short and needs to be improved."
"I would advise not to use this tool. I think between the licensing issues and the older solution mentality it is not a great solution."
"Updates were not always consistent."
"Enhancing reporting across the board would be beneficial."
"It is a very expensive solution. They should have a different scheme for selling it. They should also make it easy for us to switch from Solaris to Linux. We are having some trouble in migrating our actual catalog from Solaris to Linux."
"They currently have the Java concept and it should be less intensive and take less load."
"Technical support is somewhat slow and is in need of improvement."
"Its integration with Nutanix and technical support can be improved."
