"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple.""The documentation is okay. You are able to follow it and it is helpful.""The solution is very stable...The solution is very scalable.""I can confidently say that I have managed more than 30 or 50 appliances over different time periods, and yet I never had a single hardware failure.""Veritas NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is information backup.""The initial setup gets easier the more you do it.""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.""The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can be used in many different kinds of systems."

Cons
"The UI needs some enhancement to be more user-friendly.""Its console UI should be better. It should also have more out-of-the-box reporting functionalities. It should also have easier cloud integration. They have got cloud boost and things like that, but if you want to directly back up to the cloud, I'm not too sure whether you can do it. For example, you can easily send data from Commvault to AWS, Azure, or a container, but it seems to be not so easy in NetWorker.""The support is an area with concerns where improvements are required.""It's complex in nature.""The team does not have enough knowledge to support you.""Dell NetWorker could improve the GUI to include rack recovery.""The security features need backup and encryption. It would be nice if they added this feature. I would also like to be able to decrypt when restoring the security features. Hackers can sense these vulnerabilities today, and we need to have our enterprise prepared.""There should be more vendors incorporated into the solution."

More Dell NetWorker Cons →

"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve by having a site recovery feature.""Veritas NetBackup Appliance can improve by having a more direct connection to the cloud. It should have the technology to be able to directly communicate with the cloud.""It's hard to get to the backups. There are too many tabs.""NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower.""The monitoring could be a bit better.""The tool's pricing is expensive and could be lower.""With technical support, it feels like they aren't well trained and it takes forever to get answers out of them.""They could simplify the process of installing, and provide more space for data during the process."
