The product is easy to implement and easy to do the initial configurations.  
This was actually one of the biggest selling points for us.  Other products we 
tested were extremely difficult to roll out, tune and configure.  Feel free to 
contact me direct if you want any specific details.

Thanks, Monte

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,

Tom Tschida
