Unfortunately I am in the same situation. I have Aptare and I am happy with it, but now we have VBR for free, and it will be included in NBU 7.0. My management doesn't want to pay for the renewal for Aptare :( It looks like Symantec is going to force a lot of customers to use their reporting tool rather then anything else. I was hoping to use Aptare for the storage and VM environment as well. Symantec priced us too high for the storage side thought.
