"The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup Appliance is duplication and covers many applications."
"The standout feature is its connectivity and robust support. They are easily easy to get hold of, making it convenient for us."
"The tool is easy to use, stable, and performs well, but it depends on the environment where it is deployed. It is leaning more toward huge enterprises where it is positioned. It needs to be as easy as others but addresses more complex requirements."
"It is very capable of scaling and very good for heterogeneous environments."
"I can confidently say that I have managed more than 30 or 50 appliances over different time periods, and yet I never had a single hardware failure."

"At the moment, we have a very complex environment. It would take some time to deploy an environment like ours from scratch."
"The backup is not robust enough when you have a lot of technology."
"The solution is too heavy and complex with 1,000 menus and options that make it messy rather than lightweight."
"The solution could improve by having better documentation."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance can improve by having a more direct connection to the cloud. It should have the technology to be able to directly communicate with the cloud."
"The NetBackup software is based on Red Hat Linux, but we should have multiple software options for that. We should have more OS options. Also, there are too many tools and intermediaries. Everything should be built into an all-in-one solution."
"The tool's pricing is expensive and could be lower."
"They need to make the licensing more clear. They should give all of the licensing details for the portals and be more clear. I have accidentally purchased the incorrect license because it's not clear."
"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
"The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk."
"We had some problems with the backup of the physical server."
