"I can increase the tool's licensing as per my requirement with no conditions applied."
"The platform's most valuable features are data protection and retention."
"It has a lot of stock reports. I believe over 300 canned reports, which for the most part meet a lot of generic needs."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"This is a stable solution."
"Veritas released a new feature in version 8 of NetBackup called VRP. It's kind of like replication management from VMware. The great thing about this feature is that Veritas gave it to us for free."
"Could be used for both of Physical and Virtual Environments."
"The most valuable feature is its stability."
"The feature that is most useful for us is that it backs up every application that we own."

"The reporting is very good, with all of the details highlighted and very clear."
"Veritas NetBackup is very user-friendly and has some good quick recovery features."
"The backup and restore functions are very valuable aspects of the product."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
"It's a bit difficult for first-time users."
"There is a steep learning curve to use the interface and to create new reports, this could be made easier. If the solution could provide more drag and drop functionality to build more advanced reports that would be very helpful."
"Dell Data Protection Advisor's feature for data domain protection needs enhancement."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
"The solution requires more integration with our other solutions. I know that they have full integration with VMware because it is also from EMC. However, we have to have better integration with Microsoft and Nutanix as well."
"The functionality of the Data Protection Advisor is limited and is something that is lacking in this solution. Other solutions like CloudIQ and DDMC provide a much better outlook on how data protection should be done."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"The user interface could improve, it seems a bit out of date."
"You cannot tell what your costs are going to be by using the dashboard, which is something that should be improved."
"Netbackup can backup MySQL via Oracle policy, to be honest, this is not completely native support and this method has a few limitations. In fact, you can buy from Veritas (or Zmanda) clients for MySQL or PostgerSQL from Zmanda to backup MySQL or PostgreSQL on Linux."
"It needs support for Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVMs)."
"Planning for the implementation takes a lot of time."
"The pricing could be improved, and the interface could be more intuitive."
"In terms of improvement, it's very difficult to make it work with multiple business units. Its security model is too constricted."
"It should be able to integrate with the cloud. If we leverage a cloud in the future for backup, there should be very fast help and more options for customers to choose from."
