"The user interface is good."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"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."
"Technical support has been great."
"The tool is easy to use, stable, and performs well, but it depends on the environment where it is deployed. It is leaning more toward huge enterprises where it is positioned. It needs to be as easy as others but addresses more complex requirements."
"The reporting is very good compared to other tools."
"The documentation is okay. You are able to follow it and it is helpful."
"I think the solution is very intuitive, effective, and easy to use."
"The product enables me to recover the information of the appliances in the organization."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can be used in many different kinds of systems."

"The initial setup is a little complex."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"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."
"With technical support, it feels like they aren't well trained and it takes forever to get answers out of them."
"We had some problems with the backup of the physical server."
"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."
"It could be better integrated with other platforms."
"Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement."
"The hybrid model is not that efficient if we want to off-site data; it takes a lot of time to upload the data on a regular basis."
"The scalability isn't great. Every time you want to add storage, you can't just add a little bit, you need to add a lot."
"I would like the ability to recover a single folder within the backup of a virtual machine."
