"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration.""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 interface is very user-friendly.""If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails.""The user interface is good.""The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want.""The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes.""Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."

Cons
"The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle.""Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself.""The initial setup is complex.""While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility.""Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version of the tool.""Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment."

"The stability of the solution is poor.""The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement.""The initial setup is a little complex.""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.""I would like to see the option of cloud-based management.""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.""The storage capacity is very low.""The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
