Carbonite Server vs Veritas NetBackup Appliance comparison

"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."

"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."

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

"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."

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

"The solution uses minimal resources."

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

"The stability has room for improvement."

"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 The dashboard is a little outdated.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."

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

"The only thing that I would like to see improved is related to marketing. Currently, it is very difficult to find the right paper and stuff for me. Their marketing department should provide better information because currently, it is very difficult to find information on the internet. It was bought over by OpenText, and you won't be able to find a lot of information about this solution on their site. They should also provide training facilities for commercial purposes. Some of my colleagues recently went for pilot training, and they were technical. If I want to get trained, the training has to be more commercial. Currently, there is no such training for users like me."

"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 could simplify the process of installing, and provide more space for data during the process."

"Feature-wise, it is quite good, but it is very costly. Its price has gone up quite significantly over the years, and that makes people like us look at alternatives."

"They need to make the licensing more clear. They should give all of the licensing details for the portals and be more clear. I have accidentally purchased the incorrect license because it's not clear."

"The reporting feature can be improved."

"Veeam has a verification action, which is good."

"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve by having a site recovery feature."

"Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement."

"The graphic interface is complex, especially on the management and administrative side, requiring multiple steps for configuration instead of simple clicks in the console."

"The solution is open source."

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

"Its price is reasonable."

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

"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is priced well compared to other solutions."

"Renewing subscriptions for appliance support is costly."

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

"The pricing for the solution's software maintenance and licensing is high."

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

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