Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten.""It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent.""The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups.""This solution is stable.""The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency.""The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery.""Ability to restore to any host.""Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file."

"If you use the NetBackup Appliance you do not need to have separate media servers and hardware. You can configure the same storage as a media server and master server as well as a storage port. This helps to reduce the hardware costs of the media server.""The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface.""The policy-based backup feature is very helpful.""The documentation is okay. You are able to follow it and it is helpful.""This is a good backup interconversion solution because all the masters and the targets backups are on the same system. It is easy to administrate for a single point of access for clients.""The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup Appliance is duplication and covers many applications.""I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple.""The NetBackup appliance features customized software that is designed for storage."

Cons
"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer.""It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once.""The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself.""Stability.""If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear.""Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage.""It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location.""Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."

"The upgrade process of the solution needs to be improved since it is extremely complicated, especially without the benefit of a support person who can guide one through it.""NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower.""The monitoring could be a bit better.""Sometimes, the user interface doesn't work smoothly.""I would like to see support for databases such as MySQL and MongoDB.""Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement.""They need to make the licensing more clear. They should give all of the licensing details for the portals and be more clear. I have accidentally purchased the incorrect license because it's not clear.""Veritas NetBackup Appliance needs to improve its security. It needs to ensure that it is 100 percent protected against cyberattacks."
