"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"I like the core backup feature. I also like the file server backup feature. I find Microsoft DPM interesting because it has fantastic integration with Microsoft products. For example, in Exchange and SharePoint, DPM is excellent when it comes to backing up data. It also does a decent job with open-source products."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"Veritas NetBackup has significantly streamlined our backup and recovery processes by providing a single pane of view across various environments."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility."

"The Dedup and file storage is great."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"It would be better if it integrated seamlessly with open source and competitor products. In the next release, I would like to see some data governance frameworks. It should have support features for data integration and data replication like Veeam. Right now, we are also using Veeam for certain scenarios."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"The security and performance could improve with Veritas NetBackup. The security could be improved by protecting the data from attackers."
"Veritas NetBackup has been in the backup and recovery market for quite a long time, but somehow, from my own observations and from feedback from end users, its user interface is lagging behind other comparable solutions such as Veeam."
"The biggest additional features needed are more cloud capabilities and security from ransomware."
"The reporting of the backups could be better."
"NetBackup's reporting features are a little poor."
"It was very complicated, and it required a lot of work in terms of management. We have moved to Rubrik. One of the reasons for getting rid of Veritas NetBackup was the fact that at one point, we had the support staff with 12 to 15 people to manage Veritas NetBackup, whereas, with Rubrik, I'm the only one managing Rubrik. There is one more person who works with me mostly due to the fact that in case I'm not around, someone else knows what to do, but I'm the only one who is a full-time manager of Rubrik. The complexity of Veritas required a large staff to manage it. We had daily issues that had to be looked into and resolved. A lot of these issues revolved around Veritas' handling of VMware, which is why first we moved VMware off Veritas. After we did that, we were also able to reduce our staff count. Their licensing is a disaster. It is extremely complicated. In most cases, Veritas themselves can't understand their own licensing."
"The speed of restoring data could be improved."
"Veritas NetBackup has some limitations and it would be a benefit if we had better documentation."
