"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."

"The intelligent policies feature is used in order to protect the VMware infrastructure. One of the things that makes a big difference for our company is the usage of these intelligence policies. The system automatically provides extra protection for any VMware server application or service. From a backup administrator's point of view, this is what we call peace of mind. It reduces the workload and therefore reduces resources needed from the company."

"Compared to a homemade installation, this appliance is very stable."

"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"The initial setup is a little complex."

"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."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"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 product should provide more AI and ML features."
"This solution has to have better integration with the cloud, as well as with other solutions such as Business Intelligence products."
"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."
"They could simplify the process of installing, and provide more space for data during the process."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."
"The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk."
"Sometimes, the user interface doesn't work smoothly."
"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."
