"The web-based approach is the most valuable feature."

"Veritas NetBackup Automatic Image Replication and CloudCatalyst features allow me to replicate deduped backup images from one site to a remote site, as well as duplicating deduped images to the Cloud (i.e. AWS S3, etc.)"
"I have found it to be the simplest solution to the market. It gives us a complete end to end solution. We are using this solution, Veritas Appliance and another one for access archiving. It is convenient to have all the support from one vendor."
"Backup and recovery software with great stability, and can support large-scale environments."
"Deduplication is quite efficient. It is not a complex product. It is quite simple."
"I think the support is fine. We haven't had issues with it."
"The solution has been very good over the years at fine-tuning various aspects of the product so that it is continuously made better."
"Veritas NetBackup is very user-friendly and has some good quick recovery features."
"They are among the top in the world for backup and recovery."
"Rubrik's disaster recovery capabilities could be improved."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"The product’s user interface needs improvement."
"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I need to create reports to know whether something is available or not, how much frontend data is being protected, etc. Rubrik gives a lot of things in the report, which can be confusing. It isn't very easy to get reports. It shows all the backup, index, replication, and everything else in one report. So, I have to export, filter, and then do the calculations."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"I would like to have a built-in index searching ability of files/system files within the Rubrik interface to determine if a file or item exists, rather than just recovering it, and then doing a search for the file afterwards."
"We have some challenges with the solution's reporting because historical reports have some limitations."
"The solution lacks instant recovery."
"Some customers have Oracle databases and Veeam does support back up of Oracle databases."
"I would like to see the capability for remote installation of third party applications added( Like installing WinRar MS Office etc..) , and Firewall for servers."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows could improve."
"The support could be improved a lot, as it is currently non-existent."
"Interface could possibly be improved."
"A feature I would like to see is universal restore. At the moment, restoration can only be smooth on the same hardware. Let's say you have a server and you back it up with Veeam Agent, in case it fails or crashes. If you later buy a new server because the same one isn't available on the market anymore, there's a high chance that Windows will not boot up if you restore from the Veeam backup because the hardware is now different. Acronis has the universal restore feature, so it will work with generic drivers and you can restore Windows in any dissimilar hardware. As far as I know, Veeam doesn't have this feature yet."
"I would like there to be more integration with other platforms."
"We are facing a challenge regarding the support for Docker and Kubernetes features. We hope for the possibility of directly backing up Kubernetes and Docker images without the necessity of taking full virtual machine backups."
"The only pain point we have with this solution is the cost. It's very expensive. In fact, it's so expensive we are looking for other platforms. We want to move away from it in order to save our organization costs."
"Updates were not always consistent."
"The product needs to improve its GUI. It needs to make use of a web interface."
"It gets a lot of new features, but improvements in basic functionality are often sacrificed for a shiny new bullet point to put on sales presentations."
"The solution could improve by having a feature to backup iSeries workloads."
"NetBackup's reporting features are a little poor."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of a Sandbox feature like Veeam Sandbox."
