Muneer Matti - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Owner at M & J Consulting Services Ltd.
Empowers seamless system migration and ensures efficient data backup
Overall, I find Macrium Reflect Workstation very user-friendly compared to any other solutions I have used before, such as Symantec and Acronis. It is very helpful in terms of migration from one platform to another, making it my product of choice. The software is also intuitive and easy to use for both beginners and seasoned professionals.
MohamedFekry - PeerSpot reviewer
Enterprise Architect at vertowave
High-speed backup and strong deduplication have supported secure long-term data protection
In my opinion, what can be improved about Veritas NetBackup Appliance includes licensing. A mixed licensing model would be more helpful, such as terabytes plus virtual machines, terabytes plus instances, or number of instances. I believe this could work and create a new competitive licensing model against other products. Additionally, embedding Enterprise Vault or some of its features in the backup software would enable better competition with Commvault, which offers backup and archiving from the same console. For the next release of Veritas NetBackup Appliance, I would like to see improvements in licensing, increased deduplication ratio, and enhanced high availability. Having high availability for Veritas NetBackup Appliance without requiring virtual storage like Cohesity would be important. Improving the overall high availability of Veritas NetBackup Appliance would be beneficial.
