Carbonite Server vs Veritas NetBackup Appliance comparison

"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."

"The Granular Restore of SQL feature has been a lifesaver more times than I can count. One of the main reasons for looking at Carbonite was their support for platforms like AIX and AS/400 Series."

"This solution is very simple to use and I will recommend it to anybody."

"It seems reliable and easy to use."

"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."

"Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively."

"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."

"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."

"Veritas NetBackup Appliance fairly covers our enterprise requirements and supports all our databases and operating systems."

"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."

"The intelligent policies feature is used in order to protect the VMware infrastructure. One of the things that makes a big difference for our company is the usage of these intelligence policies. The system automatically provides extra protection for any VMware server application or service. From a backup administrator's point of view, this is what we call peace of mind. It reduces the workload and therefore reduces resources needed from the company."

"The benefits I have observed from working with Veritas NetBackup Appliance include the throughput of the appliance, starting from 2 to 50 terabytes per hour, which compares favorably with other competitors' products in this competitive domain."

"The solution uses minimal resources."

"The most significant benefit has been the time to restore."

"It is very capable of scaling and very good for heterogeneous environments."

"The encryption feature is very good, the product itself and the new features are excellent, and it is pretty user-friendly compared to other software and very easy to deploy."

"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."

"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."

"When you have to restore it, Carbonite takes a lot of time."

"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."

"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."

"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."

"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet. Its public cloud support can be improved. I would love to see the public cloud support for object storage, and it would be great, but what I always hear from the folks at Carbonite is that in a lot of cases, it directly competes with their cloud offering. So, I don't know when or where that will go or if that will go anywhere, but we are hopeful to see something. The dashboard is a little outdated. If they gave it a facelift and put some better design around their dashboard, that would be tremendous. I generally care less about the visual aesthetics of an application as long as it does what it needed to do, which is true in the case of this solution. We also have the Microsoft 365 platform. Because they're two separate platforms, I have to log in to my Microsoft platform to manage it, and I have to log into my Carbonite server backup platform to manage it. Having these two coexist together in one management console is really what we're looking for, but we went for it knowing this. We also knew that there would be some integration coming down the road. So, we're again hoping to see some of that coming in 2021."

"I would like to see an improvement on the management user interface, as well as Kellion integrations."

"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."

"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved."

"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved. We have some critical problems that have not yet been resolved, and everyone is nervous."

"The configuration can sometimes be tricky during implementation."

"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."

"The solution could improve by providing more integration and security."

"Veritas NetBackup Appliance can improve by having a more direct connection to the cloud. It should have the technology to be able to directly communicate with the cloud."

"It could be better integrated with other platforms."

"The solution is open source."

"We pay 9,000 dollars per year for our license."

"Its price is reasonable."

"The pricing is between $120 and $150 per year."

"The solution is not cheap"

"The product's price is high."

"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."

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."

"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."

"The product is expensive and comes with a yearly license."

"I cannot say whether our licensing costs are on a monthly or annual basis, as we have a global contract."

"The licenses are purchased on appliances with the capacity they require."
