Backup management excels with user-friendly interface and effective deduplication, offering robust data protection
Leveraging AI in Veritas NetBackup Appliance is one of the road maps now that they have done a collaboration with Cohesity, which is a feature I'm looking forward to. Using AI is one improvement I recommend for the Veritas NetBackup Appliance. They have implemented some aspects of AI for features such as malware detection and anomaly detection. I believe they can do more to give customers more insight into their data, allowing them to see it and understand what they can do, such as archiving old data. They can do more by utilizing the data effectively to provide insights to customers about their space usage, future projections, and options for managing old data.

Cons

"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"The management could be a bit better."
"At present, downloading the relevant files and placing them into a directory on the DS-System is a little cumbersome and open to error/malicious use."
"Improving the interface could enhance user experience."
"Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement."
"The costing part is on the higher side. The reporting could also be improved."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve by having a site recovery feature."
"The recovery of this appliance is not easy; in case it gets corrupted at any point, it is not easy to restore the data without losing information."
"They could improve the interface a bit."
"Feature-wise, it is quite good, but it is very costly. Its price has gone up quite significantly over the years, and that makes people like us look at alternatives."
"I think Veritas NetBackup Appliance can be improved in terms of support."
