What do you like most about Quest NetVault ?

NetVault is a great cloud-ready enterprise backup software for hybrid data centers. Here are some of the things I really like about the solution:

• It is easy to use right out of the box and scales easily to accommodate exponential data growth.

• You can protect a massive number of servers containing petabytes of data from one web-based console.

• It supports multiple operating systems, applications, databases, and storage devices.

• It’s easy to tailor to match your specific IT infrastructure.

• The solution has a ‘Plus’ version that will strengthen your defenses against ransomware and other cyberattacks with features like immutable backup storage, an immutable backup recycle bin, data encryption, etc.

• It can be cumbersome and time-consuming to manage corporate data backup in complex IT environments. In addition, it’s not uncommon for data backup solutions to be complicated to install, often requiring help from the vendor’s professional services staff, adding to your cost. Also, learning to manage and maintain these solutions can take a toll, especially in virtualized environments with multiple operating systems and applications. Quest NetVault simplifies enterprise data protection with powerful and easy-to-use features.

• If you rely on a wide range of applications, running on both physical and virtual servers, you probably already know that managing multiple data protection solutions is inefficient and costly. With Quest NetVault though, the software ensures the protection and availability of all of your business-critical applications and data. For example, scripting is not required to run hot backup and recovery jobs.

• Last but not least, if you are expecting an easy, automated, and scalable way to protect your virtual infrastructure Quest NetVault will definitely deliver. It provides consistent, reliable, point-and-click, agentless backup and restore of virtual machines without the administrator having to be a virtualization expert. It can also perform multiple backup and recovery scenarios and can back up multiple VMs in parallel to shrink your backup window, improve device utilization, and reduce the backup size and demand on your network.

The user interface is good.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes.
