"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"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."
"The backup and restore functions are very valuable aspects of the product."
"The main thing I like about NetBackup is CloudPoint. You can take a snapshot of the endpoint and back it up with CloudPoint. The data backups are the most important."
"The solution offers the hardware and the software at the same time."
"Veritas NetBackup is a scalable solution."
"Veritas NetBackup is very stable and scales out very well."
"This is a complete solution, everything is under one console."
"I like that it's enterprise-capable. It can handle multiple operating systems. It can handle multiple database types. It can handle a lot of different backup use cases. It's flexible."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"It needs portability for other vendors. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers, but it doesn't support third-party solutions such as Oracle Database. It depends on Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy, especially for Hyper-V, which has a lot of problems. They should enhance the Volume Shadow Copy functionality. Its reporting should also be better. Reporting is too weak in DPM."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"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."
"Updates were not always consistent."
"The ability to use different disk appliance brands as Pure Disk (not OST), such as EMC Data Domain ."
"The solution is not that stable because it has to be monitored and administered every day. The stability could be improved."
"What needs to be improved in Veritas NetBackup is its interface, e.g. they should make it more user friendly. Scalability for this product could still be improved, particularly its hardware appliance scalability."
"It is not very user-friendly."
"Support for the solution needs improvement."
"The pricing is a bit of a concern. If could be lower."
