"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility."
"I have found the Media Server Deduplication tool, deployment policies, and agentless features to be the most valuable features."
"This is a complete solution, everything is under one console."
"This is a product that has been on the market for a while and they have mastered the backup process, especially when backing up to tape, for most environments."
"It is important, when we chose a solution, that the customer service/technical support team could help us when we needed it, but the support was good."
"The solution has been very good over the years at fine-tuning various aspects of the product so that it is continuously made better."
"The main features of this solution are deduplication, compression, ease of use, simplistic user interface, and compatibility with all the backup service systems."
"Management interface was simple to use once understood."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"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."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"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 storage capacity is very low."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"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 solution costs too much."
"This solution would benefit from a more friendly, web-based interface."
"Setup implementation."
"I would like to have support enabled for cloud backups."
"There could be granular control over metadata components, specifically in the context of JSON data for the product."
"The solution could have a more clear dashboard about the license and the operation status."
"NetBackup is a very old product, and it is based on Linux, which is not user-friendly."
"It's a little bit complex to manage."
