"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"The solution has been very good over the years at fine-tuning various aspects of the product so that it is continuously made better."
"The backup and restore features are helpful."
"The reporting is very good, with all of the details highlighted and very clear."
"The Dedup and file storage is great."
"It covers all kinds of different architectures. Plus, it's very user-friendly and it is very reliable"
"Logs are very easy to read, parse, and use for diagnostics."
"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."
"DLO: Client for laptops."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"NetBackup's reporting features are a little poor."
"The pricing is a bit of a concern. If could be lower."
"They need to improve their support. In the beginning, their engineers had trouble understanding the issue we were presenting. It took a lot of conversations for them to start troubleshooting the problem."
"The restore tool is not friendly to newcomers."
"The pricing could be improved, and the interface could be more intuitive."
"I also think they could improve the reporting. They use a web-based software application OpsCenter for the reporting and I see that they haven't made any changes in years."
"We had some issues with the hardware backup appliance."
"It's not a user-friendly solution. It's a little bit complicated. The UI is not very friendly."
