"The user interface is good.""The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want.""It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us.""The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes.""If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails.""Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great.""The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration.""The interface is very user-friendly."

"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault.""I would like to see the option of cloud-based management.""The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find.""There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily.""The initial setup is a little complex.""The stability of the solution is poor.""There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency.""The storage capacity is very low."
