It depends on what you're backing up and what problem you want to fix. For
instance, if you do a lot of NDMP backups then steer clear of NBU, it's the
worst in the industry. You don't mention a specific issue except GUI and
"configuration issues". Is there something in particular that's got you
irritated enough to migrate an entire enterprise to a different software?
BTW, nothing is totally reliable.
