"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."

"NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is the duplication encryption standard feature."
"The most valuable feature of the Veritas NetBackup Appliance is the virtual machine backups."
"If you use the NetBackup Appliance you do not need to have separate media servers and hardware. You can configure the same storage as a media server and master server as well as a storage port. This helps to reduce the hardware costs of the media server."
"We can add multiple appliances to the product."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"One of the biggest drawbacks of Arcserve UDP is that it does not have a single console, making it an area that needs to be considered for improvement."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"The initial setup was complex."
"It's an expensive solution."
"We had some problems with the backup of the physical server."
"It could be better integrated with other platforms."
"I would like to see support for databases such as MySQL and MongoDB."
"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."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."
"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment."
