I implemented Aptare in a previous position and it was a great SA tool.
I loved some of the features specifically the real time backup
monitoring in a single pane of glass for all my backup servers
worldwide.  One of the other things that was great is that it would
highlight jobs that were running abnormally long in it's activity
monitor.   It made my job of monitoring job status/failures
significantly easier. The reporting features were really good for
capacity planning and understanding backup window utilization. I can't
say enough about how great this product is.  What other third party
products are people using for backup reporting on Netbackup?
 
I promise I don't work for Aptare =)

We have been using Aptare for about three years.  The latest release is
easy to install and configure as long 
as you have the Portal and Database on the same server.  We have ours on
separate servers, and after 
some work the Aptare Tech support it is working well.  Their tech
support is excellent. 

The tool works very well.  It has extensive reporting capability, plus
immediate posting of backup status to the 
database.  We use it to generate reports on backup status we need for
our SOX compliance 

I highly recommend this product

[Veritas-bu] Aptare gotchas?

        




Hello all, 
  
we're looking at purchasing Aptare for our NetBackup and BackupExec
(yes, they will be supporting BE this starting this month) environments.
It's it promoted for the most part as easy plug-n-play.  Does anyone
have any lessons learned regarding the implementation of this tool?  Any
info is appreciated. 
  
Thanks,
