    What do you dislike about the product?
    any users say it takes a lot of time and specialized knowledge to configure, tune, and maintain. The licensing model is seen by many as complicated and expensive. GUI is not considered very modern: some users dislike the Java GUI or that it looks and feels old.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Managing backup and recovery across physical, virtual, cloud, and hybrid environments is complex and risky
    Provides a unified platform that supports almost every environment (VMware, Hyper-V, AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, SQL, etc.).
    Manual backup processes are prone to error, especially in large environments with hundreds or thousands of systems.
    Lets you define policy-based automation for backups, retention, and replication.

    Automatically adjusts to changes in the environment.

    Clarify Costs

    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is the actual cost of an EC2 instance running Veritas NetBackup BYOL? For the Red Hat operating system, do we pay for a Generic Linux EC2 instance or for a Red Hat EC2 instance (including the licensing fee) based on the machine size?
    Example:
    - m5.4xlarge - Linux: $1.2240/hour
    - m5.4xlarge - Red Hat: $1.3970/hour

    Could you please clarify what the instance cost would be? I couldn't find this information in the Veritas documentation.
