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."Good scalability and virtual environment protection."
"Technical support for this solution is very good."
"The backup capabilities and the automatization of the backup - along with the potential to make the back up on a virtual machine - are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"When you reach out to your maximum license availability, or you exceed your license limit, NetWorker never stops doing your backups."
"Dell NetWorker's valuable feature is its ability to configure the network for immutability, specifically for backups."
"Very user-friendly with a good interface."
"The interface is user-friendly and can be used by the end-users."
"This solution is very stable."
"I personally find Veritas NetBackup Applicance hassle-free."
"The NetBackup appliance features customized software that is designed for storage."
"The tool's most valuable feature is recovery."
"The documentation is okay. You are able to follow it and it is helpful."
"We have good data backup coverage."
"Compared to a homemade installation, this appliance is very stable."
"It has a lot of very good features. The virtual tape library (VTL) feature is most valuable. Overall, it is easy to use."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is a total backup solution. We don't have to buy other applications to do it."
"Its console UI should be better. It should also have more out-of-the-box reporting functionalities. It should also have easier cloud integration. They have got cloud boost and things like that, but if you want to directly back up to the cloud, I'm not too sure whether you can do it. For example, you can easily send data from Commvault to AWS, Azure, or a container, but it seems to be not so easy in NetWorker."
"The security features need backup and encryption. It would be nice if they added this feature. I would also like to be able to decrypt when restoring the security features. Hackers can sense these vulnerabilities today, and we need to have our enterprise prepared."
"Support is definitely an area of concern because of the time it takes to resolve our issues."
"The licensing rules are difficult to navigate and understand."
"The web console could be a lot better."
"I would like to see encryption included in the next release to encrypt the data that we are backing up."
"It's complex in nature."
"The user interface has to be improved"
"More licensing options could be introduced to the software. It is currently based on capacity only. Compared to competitors, it is difficult to position it economically everywhere. From the usability point of view, they are making many improvements on new interfaces, the SaaS offering, etc."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."
"It's hard to get to the backups. There are too many tabs."
"They could improve the interface a bit."
"The NetBackup software is based on Red Hat Linux, but we should have multiple software options for that. We should have more OS options. Also, there are too many tools and intermediaries. Everything should be built into an all-in-one solution."
"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."
"The only drawback for NetBackup, and of course for Veritas, is that they have stuck to the same environment and to the same UI - User Interface. This needs to be improved in future releases. It needs to be more dynamic."
"The product must improve its recovery features."
