"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"The installation was straightforward."
"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."
"Veritas NetBackup has some limitations and it would be a benefit if we had better documentation."
"In regards to protecting the physical servers with parameters, it's a long and difficult process."
"Updates were not always consistent."
"The only pain point we have with this solution is the cost. It's very expensive. In fact, it's so expensive we are looking for other platforms. We want to move away from it in order to save our organization costs."
"Improvements can be made to the service by providing better and more competitive ratios on data backups. The functionality for backups is there with Veritas, but I would like to see them optimize and enhance this feature more."
"The restore tool is not friendly to newcomers."
"There is a big change in Veritas. In the past, we could easily change servers or appliances and continue working by restoring the catalog. We could change servers from Linux to Linux or Linux to Solaris and perform catalog restores to continue working. But with the new version, we are forced to engage Veritas' professional services, which is too expensive."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"It needs an easier interface."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
