"The most valuable features are the VMware VADP backups and the support for data domains."
"The most valuable feature is its stability."
"We were evaluating other products and getting confused between Commvault and Veritas NetBackup. The one reason that we started with Veritas NetBackup is the pricing of the license. There's no other reason from a technical perspective or even operation or capability of the two software. The main reason we chose Veritas NetBackup was that in our use case it is more cost-effective."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"It was very complicated, and it required a lot of work in terms of management. We have moved to Rubrik. One of the reasons for getting rid of Veritas NetBackup was the fact that at one point, we had the support staff with 12 to 15 people to manage Veritas NetBackup, whereas, with Rubrik, I'm the only one managing Rubrik. There is one more person who works with me mostly due to the fact that in case I'm not around, someone else knows what to do, but I'm the only one who is a full-time manager of Rubrik. The complexity of Veritas required a large staff to manage it. We had daily issues that had to be looked into and resolved. A lot of these issues revolved around Veritas' handling of VMware, which is why first we moved VMware off Veritas. After we did that, we were also able to reduce our staff count. Their licensing is a disaster. It is extremely complicated. In most cases, Veritas themselves can't understand their own licensing."
"Improvements can be made to the service by providing better and more competitive ratios on data backups. The functionality for backups is there with Veritas, but I would like to see them optimize and enhance this feature more."
"The pricing could be improved, and the interface could be more intuitive."
"The database integration could be better."
"The security and performance could improve with Veritas NetBackup. The security could be improved by protecting the data from attackers."
"The solution's technical support process should be improved."
"It would be helpful, in future releases, if the solution could add WORM (Write Once Read Many) support right within the product."
"I would like to have support enabled for cloud backups."
