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 initial setup is really straightforward."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"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."
"Since it is a managed service, I reduce my time to manage infrastructure and applications."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"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."
"It has a very good user interface."
"It is very easy to back up and recover files compared to other products."
"It covers all kinds of different architectures. Plus, it's very user-friendly and it is very reliable"
"Good graphical user interface. It's easy to create policies and to do installs."
"The solution has been very good over the years at fine-tuning various aspects of the product so that it is continuously made better."
"I have found the Media Server Deduplication tool, deployment policies, and agentless features to be the most valuable features."
"Our customers who have faced ransomware attacks were able to recover their data in less than one day without any stress. Veritas is ransomware resilient and because of its implementation, it is not dependent on the operating system to work."
"The VM portal and the CloudCatalyst are two of the solution's most valuable features."
 

Cons

"The cost of AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as expensive."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"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."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"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 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 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."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"Within their product lineup, they need to consolidate down to one product. Veritas doesn't have one product that does everything. So, Veritas can do everything, but you basically need to run two products. I would like them to combine all the capabilities into one release."
"The database integration could be better."
"The restore tool is not friendly to newcomers."
"The ability to use different disk appliance brands as Pure Disk (not OST), such as EMC Data Domain ."
"Lacks a reporting feature."
"The product could improve the user-friendliness and comfort of its environment, especially for those unfamiliar with it."
"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."
"It's a little bit complex to manage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
"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."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."
"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 feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
"This is an affordable solution"
"We are happy with the pricing that we have, but it's expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"Veritas NetBackup is more expensive than other backup solutions like Dell Power Protect and Veeam Backup."
"Veritas NetBackup is more expensive than Cohesity and Rubrik, but it is comparable in price to Commvault, IBM, and Dell."
"The licensing model for this solution is very powerful."
"When we consider the quality and value of Veritas NetBackup, it is worth the cost."
"Acceptable if you need to implement it for larger environments, e.g. over 1000 clients. For smaller setups it might be too expensive."
