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

"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests.​"
"Customer service is quite helpful."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"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."
"It offers seamless integration with services like ACL, EKS, and Fargate for deploying containerized applications."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"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."
"The simulation engine is highly valuable as it allows us to simulate what a failure would be like and generate reports."
"The main thing I like about NetBackup is CloudPoint. You can take a snapshot of the endpoint and back it up with CloudPoint. The data backups are the most important."
"AIR and duplication, overall management and troubleshooting."
"We believe that everything Veritas NetBackup offers, including backups, snapshots, deduplication, and replication, is valuable."
"I like the cross-platform features."
"The product is stable and reliable."
"The backup speed is extremely high and the simplicity of NetBackup is commendable."
"It has been around for so long, and it is very in-depth. It has a solution for everything that you can cover."
 

Cons

"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 set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"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 solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"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."
"An improved AWS pricing model is needed."
"The cost of AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as expensive."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"The user interface could improve, it seems a bit out of date."
"It would be extremely helpful if the solution offered near-zero recovery time for SQL."
"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 HTML interface is a web application that does not offer all the features."
"In the next release, I would like to have a better way to protect against ransomware attacks and a better way of logging issues where you don't have to enable the verbose logging to capture the problems."
"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."
"Veritas NetBackup has been in the backup and recovery market for quite a long time, but somehow, from my own observations and from feedback from end users, its user interface is lagging behind other comparable solutions such as Veeam."
"It is not very user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six 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."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
"The price of Veritas NetBackup is high, it should be reduced."
"If you have a complex environment with dozens of different servers and apps, I recommend you look for TB licensing."
"The licensing fees are expensive."
"Veritas NetBackup is quite expensive and licensing costs are fixed."
"Our license is capacity-based."
"Price-wise, most of the backup products are similarly priced, and NetBackup is the same."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Annual licensing fee."
