Vijay Londhe - PeerSpot reviewer
Managed services with seamless integration and good reliability
Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status. I have to calculate whether my data is replicated to the Adarabad region or not. These features, if available in AWS, would be beneficial.
Wesam Qashou - PeerSpot reviewer
A mature backup solution, with many features, and great support
Veritas NetBackup is the first line of defense when disaster strikes. Before performing disaster recovery, we must have a good backup of our image that is also protected from ransomware. This way, we have a golden image that is resilient to ransomware attacks. We saw the benefits of Veritas NetBackup within the first three months.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"What I like about ECR AWS is that it is a fully managed service, so I don't need to manage the underlying infrastructure or worry about scalability in AWS concerning building, maintenance, security, and high availability."
"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"​The initial setup is really straightforward."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests.​"
"The tool's information transfer and patching up is easy. The solution offers protection from ransomware which is also a valuable feature."
"It saves time for the backup needs of our organization."
"The documentation is good."
"The tool provides recovery. The support for their legacy software is very good."
"It has been around for so long, and it is very in-depth. It has a solution for everything that you can cover."
"The product is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup is the protection policies or protection module."
"Its most valuable features are flexibility and reliability."
 

Cons

"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"The product could be improved by incorporating more AI-driven automation for deployment and additional security features. These enhancements would make the solution even more user-friendly and secure."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. ​"
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"An improved AWS pricing model is needed."
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"The solution is not that stable because it has to be monitored and administered every day. The stability could be improved."
"GUI needs to be more user-friendly."
"It should be able to integrate with the cloud. If we leverage a cloud in the future for backup, there should be very fast help and more options for customers to choose from."
"NetBackup's reporting features are a little poor."
"The solution could improve by having a feature to backup iSeries workloads."
"The licensing costs could be more affordable."
"This solution would benefit from a more friendly, web-based interface."
"It would be extremely helpful if the solution offered near-zero recovery time for SQL."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Where the price adds up, there are CloudEndure licenses, then there is the AWS environment, and finally, there is the AWS storage, so cumulatively, it adds up."
"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
"The pricing is better now that they had come out with the Tier 2 which replicates a little less often. In comparison to what I would have been spending with any other type of solution, the pricing is fair."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."
"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
"The solution is expensive compared to other alternatives."
"When we consider the quality and value of Veritas NetBackup, it is worth the cost."
"The software and license are very expensive."
"The price of Veritas NetBackup is high, it should be reduced."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price is okay."
"Price-wise, most of the backup products are similarly priced, and NetBackup is the same."
"A better price would make this product more competitive."
