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."The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"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."
"The user interface is good."
"The backup and restoration are 100 percent guaranteed."
"NetBackup is highly stable. We have more than 1,800 policies that run every day."
"The Dedup and file storage is great."
"We have a file server and our data file server, everything. We use it for VM server backup, too."
"The reporting is very good, with all of the details highlighted and very clear."
"Veritas NetBackup is very stable and scales out very well."
"This is a product that has been on the market for a while and they have mastered the backup process, especially when backing up to tape, for most environments."
"DLO: Client for laptops."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"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."
"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 stability of the solution is poor."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"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."
"I have been involved in upgrades. They have not been straightforward. Some of them have required us to make changes to our architecture and production environment."
"The solution is not that stable because it has to be monitored and administered every day. The stability could be improved."
"Lacks a reporting feature."
"It needs support for Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVMs)."
"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."
"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 database integration could be better."
"It would be extremely helpful if the solution offered near-zero recovery time for SQL."
