Quest NetVault Reviews

The features that help us to search tables/databases available in the backup list are most valuable to us.

Sometimes tables/databases are dropped accidentally by clients. They ask us whether the backup of a particular table/database is available for a particular date. Instead of searching from each backup, we can search from all the backups and the search results shows all the available backups along with backup date and expiration. This feature saves a lot of time and help us to restore things quickly.

The netvault solution was installed on really big scale, we used to manage database and files system backup.
The software was installed on 30 Bar Servers of Europe’s 8 Big Telecom Operators.
Due to official reasons I cannot disclose the name of the telecom companies.
The BAR solution was installed on really big scale.
With the help of this tool we were able to meet the adhoc backup and restore requests from 8 countries in timely manners.
The catalogue databases of netvalut was very efficient and it helped us to search tables/views/dbs from different backup sets in quickway .
Built in reports were very helpful to conduct the analysis of the media utilization and capacity planning.

This tool was very useful to plan for the really large data backup. We have utilized this tool to backup 150 TB data on a weekly basis.

This product should have a web interface.

I have been using this product for three years.

The license expired without any warning and that caused us some problems. There should be a warning in advance.

We never had any scalability issues.

We never had any technical issues, so we never had the opportunity to contact them either.

We never used any other prior solution on that project.

The initial setup was done by another team, so I cannot give any insight on this.

I was not part of the team that made this decision.

This product is very useful and cost effective.

We primarily use the solution for security logs and for end-customer security.

The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want.

I don't have complete hands-on knowledge, so I can't speak to what is missing on the solution.

The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find.

The pricing could be adjusted. Right now, it's quite high.

I've been using the solution for six months.

I've heard from our L3 team that there have been a few hiccups on the stability side. Occasionally when we implement a policy change, for example, it doesn't deflect much. I'm not sure if it's a fault in the system or the configuration.

Technical support has been good. When we log a case, we'll get a call within 24-48 hours. They help get issues resolved if there are any hiccups. If an engineer cannot resolve the issue they will also move it up to another level. That may mean we have to wait a few more hours for them to get back to us in order to resolve the issues. 

We've been satisfied with the level of service we've received so far.

I'm not sure if there were other solutions evaluated before choosing this one. Management makes these types of decisions.

The solution's initial setup is straightforward so long as you take the time to study the solution beforehand. We were able to implement the solution within a week. We needed four people for deployment.

We had a vendor on the Dell side that assisted with the implementation.

The solution is a bit costly.

We're partners with Dell. We don't have complete access to the solution; we only have limited access. We use the on-premises deployment model.

We have two customers on the solution and we are also using it in our company.

If the solution fits the user's requirements and budgets, they should consider implementing it.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
