"Technical support is good."
"Solution provides good security."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"The user interface is good. It provides a lot of information."

"The most valuable features are the flexibility and stability of the product."
"The most valuable features are backup and restore. This solution is also easy to use."
"I don't have any major problems with the agent connectivity with Microsoft applications or Microsoft Azure."
"Technical support is good."
"There are some limitations regarding scalability of the product."
"The process of upgrading versions should be improved because as it is now, you have to completely uninstall the old version first, and then install the new version."
"Currently, the NetWorker server only supports the Windows server bare-metal recovery, so an improvement would be built-in support for Linux and UNIX BMR."
"We would like support for tape space reclaim, using either the same or another pool."
"The web console could be a lot better."
"The team does not have enough knowledge to support you."
"NetWorker's major problem is its legacy software."
"We have faced problems with the initial configuration of the solution."
"The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete."
"A feature I would like to see is universal restore. At the moment, restoration can only be smooth on the same hardware. Let's say you have a server and you back it up with Veeam Agent, in case it fails or crashes. If you later buy a new server because the same one isn't available on the market anymore, there's a high chance that Windows will not boot up if you restore from the Veeam backup because the hardware is now different. Acronis has the universal restore feature, so it will work with generic drivers and you can restore Windows in any dissimilar hardware. As far as I know, Veeam doesn't have this feature yet."
"I've found a lot of difficulties on the initial setup and especially in terms of credentials. We really need a Window OS. It doesn't like the domain admin account. it's a primary permission issue."
"With the currency exchange, the solution ends up being quite expensive."
"There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure."
"The backups can go slow."
"I can't think of anything that may be missing."
"If you are doing an AIX backup then you have to use the CLI because it doesn't appear on the console, the way that Windows and Linux jobs do."
