High-speed backup and strong deduplication have supported secure long-term data protection
In my opinion, what can be improved about Veritas NetBackup Appliance includes licensing. A mixed licensing model would be more helpful, such as terabytes plus virtual machines, terabytes plus instances, or number of instances. I believe this could work and create a new competitive licensing model against other products. Additionally, embedding Enterprise Vault or some of its features in the backup software would enable better competition with Commvault, which offers backup and archiving from the same console. For the next release of Veritas NetBackup Appliance, I would like to see improvements in licensing, increased deduplication ratio, and enhanced high availability. Having high availability for Veritas NetBackup Appliance without requiring virtual storage like Cohesity would be important. Improving the overall high availability of Veritas NetBackup Appliance would be beneficial.

"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."
"Since we have implemented Asigra we don’t have an administrator to do manual backup to tapes and external HDD; everything is automated and there are no hassles for the administrator."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"It allows our backup engineers to build great relationships with customers as they know their data is being protected by best-in-class software."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"I like the fiber channel transport, and that the solution can make it a media server."
"This is a good backup interconversion solution because all the masters and the targets backups are on the same system, and it is easy to administrate for a single point of access for clients."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the backup speed."
"The ability to scale and expand with Veritas NetBackup Appliance is good, and I give it a high rating."
"Compared to a homemade installation, this appliance is very stable."
"The consistency of using it over a long period of time has been excellent."
"The Oracle Agent and Oracle RAC support are valuable features; they are crucial for taking backups and cloning applications."
"The solution is very stable...The solution is very scalable."
 

Cons

"The UI could do with a facelift."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"The management could be a bit better."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"At present, downloading the relevant files and placing them into a directory on the DS-System is a little cumbersome and open to error/malicious use."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"They should have 24/7 support for customers in different time zones. They are slow to respond to requests, and I get the impression that the ServiceDesk is overloaded."
"It could be better integrated with other platforms."
"The scalability could be improved."
"They need to make the licensing more clear. They should give all of the licensing details for the portals and be more clear. I have accidentally purchased the incorrect license because it's not clear."
"Most of the organizations I see are going to the cloud and they escape the physical architecture to minimize investment in their local data center as much as possible."
"The product should provide more AI and ML features."
"I would like to see support for databases such as MySQL and MongoDB."
"Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement."
"Technical support could be improved, the knowledge base is quite low and it's complicated to deal with them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the pricing a nine."
"The price of Veritas NetBackup Appliance is competitive. There are different models of Veritas NetBackup Appliance, such as perpetual licenses and subscriptions. Having the choice is good."
"This solution is expensive."
"We pay annually. It is a huge figure for us."
"Renewing subscriptions for appliance support is costly."
"The licenses are purchased on appliances with the capacity they require."
"I cannot say whether our licensing costs are on a monthly or annual basis, as we have a global contract."
"Overall, Veritas is a good solution; the problem is the cost."
