Carbonite Server vs Veritas NetBackup Appliance comparison

"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."

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

"The solution is very stable."

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

"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."

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

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

"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."

"Installing this solution is very simple and takes perhaps five or ten minutes."

"I can confidently say that I have managed more than 30 or 50 appliances over different time periods, and yet I never had a single hardware failure."

"The solution has a very easy-to-navigate user interface."

"I think the solution is very intuitive, effective, and easy to use."

"The solution uses minimal resources."

"Compared to a homemade installation, this appliance is very stable."

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

"The stability has room for improvement."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower."

"Veritas NetBackup would benefit from better explained error codes."

"The hybrid model is not that efficient if we want to off-site data; it takes a lot of time to upload the data on a regular basis."

"With technical support, it feels like they aren't well trained and it takes forever to get answers out of them."

"The reporting feature can be improved."

"The product must improve its recovery features."

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

"The scalability could be improved."

"Its price is reasonable."

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

"The solution is open source."

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"This solution is expensive."

"There is a license required for this solution."
