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."Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."
"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."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"It is easy to use, and you can run it with all kinds of client software environments. It works well with the most popular software, file systems, and operating systems. It is very useful to us."
"The solution is stable."
"The features are good."
"AIR and duplication, overall management and troubleshooting."
"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."
"The backup and restore features are helpful."
"The Replication Director, Auto Image Replication, Accelerator, Oracle Intelligent Policy, synthetic and VADP backups are the most valuable features."
"Veritas NetBackup has significantly streamlined our backup and recovery processes by providing a single pane of view across various environments."
"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."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"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."
"The restore tool is not friendly to newcomers."
"NetBackup is a very old product, and it is based on Linux, which is not user-friendly."
"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."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of a Sandbox feature like Veeam Sandbox."
"It is not very user-friendly."
"The solution must provide a different way to schedule backups."
"I also think they could improve the reporting. They use a web-based software application OpsCenter for the reporting and I see that they haven't made any changes in years."
"The solution could improve by having a feature to backup iSeries workloads."
