I am still using Fortinet solutions. I am only using the firewall from Fortinet, not using any other product like FortiManager, FortiAuthenticator, or FortiSASI. I am also not using FortiManager for management purposes or for managed networks. I am using only FortiClient and FortiGate. As a system administrator working with some other vendors, I am using different products. For remote access, for backup I am using NetVault Plus. I am using Microsoft Teams product for remote access. I am satisfied with the current encryption protocols for data security. When I purchased NetVault Plus, it was with Dell. I would rate this review at eight overall.
We are using NetVault Plus backup appliance. The technology is supported, but we don't use NetVault Plus's deduplication technology. NetVault Plus is the only solution we are currently using. I'm an end user and not a partner of NetVault Plus. On a scale of 1-10, I rate NetVault Plus an 8.
The effective features are file system backup and bare metal recovery. I find it effective because the recovery time when the system goes down is approximately 10 hours, so you can recover the system, and the recovery procedure is quite straightforward. The solution is on-premises. Deduplication is handled by their own product called Corestore, which is a software-based deduplication engine. The deduplication ratio is quite good, and the backup window reduces because of it. To use Quest NetVault Plus backup, my advice is that the product is quite simple; there's no need to access or log in to the backup server, just log in from any system in the same network, and the configuration part is also quite simple. I rate Quest NetVault Plus a nine out of ten.

The overall rating for Quest NetVault Plus is eight. Customer interaction with the solution involves medium to large enterprises, highlighting its effectiveness. Security improvements, particularly in malware detection and deduplication, would enhance its usability. Despite these areas for improvement, Quest NetVault Plus is a reliable and valuable product.
The corporate backup team controls the product. It takes care of the troubleshooting and maintenance. I use the tool for client and server synchronization purposes only. I have recommended the solution to others. Since it has some drawbacks, people prefer Veeam. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.

I am currently working with version 12. If you just started working with NetVault, make sure you have support. If you have a gap in support, minor problems might turn into big ones. I would rate it a seven out of ten.
My advice for anybody who is considering NetVault is that it is an enterprise-level grade solution. Some people consider it suitable for SMBs but in reality, it is enterprise-level and supports any kind of industry. It is complete in terms of its capability. It is very easy to use, it has good reporting, and you will not have any challenges with it. In summary, this is a stable solution that creates robust backups, and the interface is very user-friendly. The main improvement that I would like to see is a plugin for MongoDB. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

My advice for anybody who is considering NetVault is that if they're looking for something really easy to use, and they want to back up their VMware environment, then NetVault would be a wise choice. It's not complicated to set up, and it has great after-sales support. They really care about their customers. The biggest lesson that I have learned from using NetVault is from a configurability point of view. This is a product that is easy to set up and troubleshoot, whereas there are more complex solutions out there that aren't, and require more digging and more research. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

It works fine for small businesses, and it can do its job. If it was up to me, I would maybe choose a different solution. I have worked with TSM and IBM Spectrum Protect, and as compared to those, it has the basic features, but it is one of the easiest tools I have worked with. When implementing a backup solution, I would definitely advise others to really think about the naming convention. Even though it is a simple tool, it can get complicated when things get quite big where you have hundreds of systems. You can get lost if you really do not know about and follow naming conventions. One of the things that I'm planning to do in our environment is to rename everything to have consistency in the naming convention because at the current state it is really making things much more complicated than they should be. I would rate Quest NetVault a seven out of ten.
Every product has advantages and disadvantages. The suitability of NetVault depends on the customer's environment and the requirements. Customers do not have the same kind of environment, which means that what works fine with one customer may leave another with issues. This is a good solution, but some products have better features such as archiving and deduplication. In my opinion, Commvault is the best choice for backup and recovery. I would rate this solution a five out of ten.

We are using the on-premises version of the solution. I'm not a big fan of it. I much prefer Veeam Backup & Replication. In terms of advice I could give, If your company is using it for a small business or a small data center of maybe one hundred machines, then the solution would be okay. For us, we are worldwide and we have 10,000 machines. It's much more suited to smaller organizations. I would rate the solution as five out of ten.
