Carbonite Server vs Veritas NetBackup Appliance comparison

"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."

"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."

"The advice that I have for people looking into using Carbonite Server is that it seems reliable and easy to use."

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

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

"The Granular Restore of SQL feature has been a lifesaver more times than I can count."

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

"The Veritas NetBackup Appliance is convenient because it’s a portable device and doesn’t require a lot of additional hardware or licenses like VPN solutions."

"The customer service and support are excellent."

"This is a good backup interconversion solution because all the masters and the targets backups are on the same system, and it is easy to administrate for a single point of access for clients."

"This solution is very useful and stable."

"We can add multiple appliances to the product."

"I personally find Veritas NetBackup Applicance hassle-free."

"We mainly use Windows for all our operating systems. Our databases are SQL databases. For backups, we set up one master server and three process servers. Our company isn't big, so this setup works well for us. We install the Veritas NetBackup Appliance agent on all the systems that need to be backed up."

"It is easy to use and the performance is good."

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

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

"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 The dashboard is a little outdated.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 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."

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

"The stability has room for improvement."

"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."

"Customers say that the price for Veritas NetBackup Appliance is high."

"It could be better integrated with other platforms."

"This solution is not as stable as Veeam. When it crashes and you want to cover, it is a complicated procedure."

"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."

"Our main challenge was deciding on the right capacity for expansion, but once we settled on two NAS servers with sixteen TB, things have been smooth."

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

"It's an expensive solution."

"Technical support could be improved, the knowledge base is quite low and it's complicated to deal with them."
