"It has a user-friendly interface."

"They need more support for image backups."
"It is not easy to understand and deploy. It is complex in nature. Simplicity is not there. When we deploy it, the customer always needs some training from us. To make it user friendly, there should be one agent that can be used to back up every product. Dell EMC NetWorker uses so many user agents. In PowerProtect Data Manager, you can just install its VM, import that VM into vCenter, and you can start to do backups directly from vCenter. However, in Dell EMC NetWorker, you always need one server, and from that server, you need to initiate all backups. You must know the interface and the CLI. It is not user friendly. It would be a great feature if we can deploy Dell EMC NetWorker on a virtual machine, like Avamar. The additional features that are required in Dell EMC NetWorker are already available in PowerProtect Data Manager and Avamar. Therefore, there is no need to enhance Dell EMC NetWorker. It would be better if they can just rename it to PowerProtect Data Manager or Avamar."
"There are some limitations regarding scalability of the product."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"NetWorker's major problem is its legacy software."
"he API side of the solution has certain shortcomings."
"The product should provide integration with AWS."
"I haven't had a good experience with technical support. It takes them a very long time to resolve issues."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"It needs an easier interface."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
