Room For Improvement

Improving the interface could enhance user experience.

Setup Cost

Quorum OnQ's pricing is cost-effective for enterprises despite high initial costs due to integrated support and value recovery features.
Veritas NetBackup Appliance is seen as costly but valued for features, with varied pricing based on storage and maintenance.
It's a little expensive.

It's more costly than Commvault, which offers similar features at 70% of the price.
Oracle Technology Manager at MOPCO
It is a high price because the maintenance has a large cost, especially if the appliance is hardware rather than a virtual appliance.
Storage & Backup Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Technical Manager at Rigor Systems Limited
 

Valuable Features

Quorum OnQ offers quick recovery, user-friendly management, strong security, fast backups, and cost-effectiveness, enhancing its overall appeal.
Veritas NetBackup Appliance offers fast, reliable backups, user-friendly interface, scalability, and supports diverse environments with strong data protection.
Quorum OnQ provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history.
Senior Application Analyst at a non-profit with 5,001-10,000 employees
The biggest advantage is that I do not need to manage backups on traditional tapes, which helps maintain total business continuity.
Deputy Vice President - IT at TransUnion
The encryption feature in Veritas NetBackup Appliance helps protect sensitive information, as there is encryption at rest and encryption in transit from commands sent from server to client.
Storage & Backup Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The anomaly detection and notifications in Veritas NetBackup Appliance have helped me in my day-to-day work because when I have a server that is being backed up and it has some anomaly, for example, ransomware trying to encrypt it, I will have a considerably different footprint for the server backed up yesterday and the one which has been affected by malware.

Enhanced filtering for advocate emails
Quorum provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history. This is an extreme feature that will help our advocacy department a lot. It encompasses the ability to formulate emails and calls to action across regions. Their platform is more advanced than our previous one. It provides a smooth training experience and easy terminology for those in the advocacy world.

Technical Manager at Rigor Systems Limited
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.
