Doesn't melt my computer. It had a free trial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Much like many Symantec apps, it's very bloated and sluggish and tends to make most computers actually run slower than without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is easy to navigate. Filtering your view is simple and powerful enabling me to find and monitor jobs that I need to watch or troubleshoot. It allows access to all of the tape robots so I can see if tape drives are functioning properly, drives need cleaning, scratch tapes are available and if the robot itself is functioning. The ability to run restore jobs is fairly simple as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times the response can be slow on older workstations. The learning curve can be large for someone not experienced with the software especially when doing restores. The GUI interface could be more user friendly as well. Some of the features are not clearly available if you don't have a full understanding of the software.

The versatility of the application and also the features with VMWare. The query for auto adds on the VC box is very useful in a rapidly expanding environment. Though it could be improved by not failing on simple character syntex. this enables wintel admins to take out the entire policy when adding VM's to simply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The inability to get granular with NBAC and Opscenter to give a operator access to everything but restore for federally regulated data. In Opscenter and NBAC the usage comes into play when you need the users on the box performing operator duties such as rerunning jobs etc but can have no access to data whatsoever.

For an enterprise software, it offers the most options for any given environment. While some products do certain things particularily well, NBU addresses most enterprise environment needs. NBU AIR is a technology best. Also, Opscenter, even without the Analytics portion, contributes considerably to our management and day 2 day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support is tough. After doing your own TS you're then subjected to torturous "flowchart" troubleshooting from frontline. Also, getting software without an update email is difficult, even for items that shouldn't be. From a technical perspective, after 6.0 they quit working with 3rd party Disk providers, as they came out with their own systems. Some options available if I purchased Symantec hardware are not there otherwise, such as client-side dedup.

Also, I'd like to see some change on the SQL portion for backups, as these haven't been touched in years, and are failing behind technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
