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."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 initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"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."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"The user interface is good."
"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."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"It is responding very well, and its performance is good. It has a lot of options. For backup, you can connect it to a cloud or a physical hard drive. They also provide an API for integration with different platforms and products. However, we have not integrated it with another product."
"In the global business world, Veritas has a very good name. I think they have a good solid product, and they are always trying to improve it, and update it. ;They know what the client actually needs, and they are up to the challenge of satisfying those needs."
"The disk-to-disk paid backup feature is quite good, and file locking is a very important feature."
"The dashboard was good. I loved to see the maintenance dashboard every time I logged on. That was my first screen because it always gave me a reminder of how many days before my next renewal."
"We have never had any problem with storage and backups. It works very well and is a user-friendly solution."
"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."
"Once the solution is integrated with the Exchange, you just click Exchange to back up that file."
"It gives us the ability to locate and restore critical files which users may have intentionally or unknowing deleted a while ago."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"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’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 storage capacity is very low."
"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."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"Firstly, the GUI for 2014 is mostly confusing, i.e., if you need to add any additional technical features, then it doesn't require a change to the GUI."
"The cost is quite high. Along with the general costs, the supposed agents that you have to buy for the various options that you want to use ends up driving the costs higher as well."
"Its scalability should be improved."
"The solution is too heavy and complex with 1,000 menus and options that make it messy rather than lightweight."
"There is no training provided, and their technicians are unaware of the features available."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"They can improve the reporting component. The reports aren't user-friendly at all. You have to download them to Excel to get statistics."
"It could be improved in the area of reporting and ease-of-use."
