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

"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."
"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 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."
"AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is a robust and reliable solution for disaster recovery needs."
"It offers seamless integration with services like ACL, EKS, and Fargate for deploying containerized applications."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"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."
"We can easily expand the ability of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is replication because, using NetBackup replication, we can have disaster recovery of the data we have."
"It saves time for the backup needs of our organization."
"The support from Veritas NetBackup is very good."
"It covers all kinds of different architectures. Plus, it's very user-friendly and it is very reliable"
"The tool's most valuable feature is backups."
"I think this is the best backup solution that we have. It is very good for the infrastructure."
 

Cons

"The cost of AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as expensive."
"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."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. ​"
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"An improved AWS pricing model is needed."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"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."
"There may be a learning curve."
"I also think they could improve the reporting. They use a web-based software application OpsCenter for the reporting and I see that they haven't made any changes in years."
"It would be extremely helpful if the solution offered near-zero recovery time for SQL."
"The virtual environment, cloud integration, copy data management features need improvement."
"The solution could improve by having a feature to backup iSeries workloads."
"NetBackup is a very old product, and it is based on Linux, which is not user-friendly."
"The implementation process could be simplified to make it quicker."
"Like the other enterprise solutions, Veritas NetBackup isn't easy to implement. It's a little bit hard compared to other solutions like Data Protector for HPE. You have to struggle to learn a lot of features that Veritas NetBackup offers to customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Veritas NetBackup is quite expensive and licensing costs are fixed."
"The price of Veritas NetBackup is high, it should be reduced."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing, of course, can always be better."
"It is an expensive solution."
"So far I can only say that the license structure could be looked at to be aligned as either capacity-based or traditional."
"There is a license required for this solution and it is priced based upon the data used."
"Most people have felt this solution was somewhat expensive."
