Re: [Veritas-bu] OpsCenter experiences and alternatives

Hello Jed

As you hasn't contacted me on connect, you will get the shortcommings list here

- No publishing of reports to webserver

- No tape explorer like there was in VBR

- No handling of scratch tapes, alert, report, trend lines

- No possibility to report on database instances for exchange, SQL & oracle

- Error in simple reports like library summary

- Trend lines that are is totally wrong

- Usefull SCOM integration, with diagram showing the backup servers & storage units like the adminstration console. The alerts also need to be consolidable on Master, Policy, Schedule, Client, Status code.

- To often the filter causes no data to be returned even when doing the same filtering in the activity monitor gives result

- Wrong results when calculating sizes, throughput

In general opscenter has the feel of being made of people who never have been administrating a real production netbackup environment and not being troughly tested
