IT Admin at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Offers good time navigation features and we haven't had stability problems in the twelve years we've been using it
The initial setup was supposed to be complex, and a guy from Atempto went to our site and they did it with us together. So, in the end, it was quite clear and straightforward. The deployment took one day. From time to time, we require maintenance. Most things can be done also automatically. We prefer to do some manually like recycling virtual cartridges. Two people are required for maintenance. Two people use it daily. Time Navigator runs daily, for some backups, even more, three, four times a day, for critical stuff. But for intervention, we have two, three per week.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The time navigation is the most valuable feature."
"If you need anything, it's written in, and if you have problems, a development engineer is quite fast to fix it."
"The most significant benefit has been the time to restore."
"I personally find Veritas NetBackup Applicance hassle-free."
"The tool is easy to use, stable, and performs well, but it depends on the environment where it is deployed. It is leaning more toward huge enterprises where it is positioned. It needs to be as easy as others but addresses more complex requirements."
"Overall, Veritas is a good solution; the problem is the cost."
"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."
"Overall, it's been a good experience."
"The consistency of using it over a long period of time has been excellent."
"The most valuable feature is that the backup and restoring process is very fast."
 

Cons

"They are working on the improvement we're looking for. The web GUI is flash-based and in around one or two months, they will put everything on HTML5."
"Feature-wise, it is quite good, but it is very costly."
"It's difficult to make a switch with the tool because the actual physical storage doesn't work with anything else."
"Figuring out pricing from the site is challenging because the initial pricing mentioned on the site is too high."
"Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement."
"NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower."
"The price is slightly expensive for small and medium enterprises. If they can review the prices, we feel it would be beneficial, especially for the African market."
"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgeable in order to pull off a successful deployment."
"I would like the ability to recover a single folder within the backup of a virtual machine."
