We performed a comparison between Quest NetVault and Veritas Backup Exec based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"The user interface is good."
"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."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"Veritas Backup Exec is easily managed."
"One of the valuable features is the instant recovery for VMs. It reduces the RTO (Recovery Time Objective) drastically."
"It's quite stable, and so far, we have had no technical issues with Veritas Backup Exec."
"We have virtual infrastructure, so restoring virtual machine systems from backups is also very easy."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"This is a very flexible product, which allows you to back up not only the physical environment but also the cloud environment."
"We are happy with Veritas Backup Exec's stability."
"The most valuable features of Veritas Backup Exec are the graphical interface, ease of management, and overall ease of use."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"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."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"Veritas Backup Exec could improve the analytics. If there were some more detail in our scan reports it would be beneficial."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"Firstly, the GUI for 2014 is mostly confusing, i.e., if you need to add any additional technical features, then it doesn't require a change to the GUI."
"They could include backup functionality for enterprise environments."
"It would be nice to improve the backup acceleration and the fast restoration required."
"At the moment, we have a very complex environment. It would take some time to deploy an environment like ours from scratch."
"One area that needs improvement is SQL backup. Backup Exec doesn't support higher availability."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."
