Quest NetVault Plus is quite effective for managing backups across multiple systems because we don't need to log in to the backup server to manage it; it's web-based, so from any system in the network, you can log in and manage everything.

Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one.

I have never been able to have a solid backup of Office 365 using Quest NetVault; it fails so many times that it is not production-ready.

Veeam is the product that I can compare to NetVault Plus. I think Veeam Backup is better for VMware backup.

There's no positive impact that NetVault Plus has brought to my company; I mean, there's no particular benefit I have seen from using it.

Improvements could be made in the deduplication and data management capabilities. There is also a need for better security measures, as security is critical to ensure backups are safe and free from malware.

In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault.

There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency.
