Carbonite Server vs Veritas NetBackup Appliance comparison

"It seems reliable and easy to use."

"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."

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

"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."

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

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

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

"The solution is very stable."

"The solution is useful for backups."

"We can add multiple appliances to the product."

"The initial setup gets easier the more you do it."

"The utilization of Data Domain is crucial because of its integration with a key Veritas feature: retention lock. This feature ensures data integrity by preventing any alterations to stored data. When NetBackup interacts with Data Domain, enabling the retention lock feature ensures that neither administrators nor backup personnel can modify data stored within the system. This functionality is vital for compliance purposes and meets the requirements of auditors."

"The most valuable feature of the Veritas NetBackup Appliance is the virtual machine backups."

"The solution uses minimal resources."

"NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is the duplication encryption standard feature."

"The most valuable feature involves VMware Instant Recovery, which allows one to do restoration within seconds."

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

"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 The dashboard is a little outdated.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."

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

"The stability has room for improvement."

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

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

"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."

"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment."

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

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

"The product should provide more AI and ML features."

"The price needs to be improved because it is really expensive."

"The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk."

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

"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."

"Its price is reasonable."

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

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

"The solution is open source."

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

"Renewing subscriptions for appliance support is costly."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the solution's pricing an eight."

"The licensing costs for this solution are very high."

"Appliances do not come cheaply."

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

"The product's price is high."

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