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."

"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."

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

"It seems reliable and easy to use."

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

"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 solution is very stable."

"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 biggest advantage is that I do not need to manage backups on traditional tapes, which helps maintain total business continuity."

"The product enables me to recover the information of the appliances in the organization."

"The solution uses minimal resources."

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

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

"The Hyper-V backup 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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"I would like to see support for databases such as MySQL and MongoDB."

"They could improve the interface a bit."

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

"The monitoring could be a bit better."

"The reporting feature can be improved."

"This solution has to have better integration with the cloud, as well as with other solutions such as Business Intelligence products."

"The scalability isn't great. Every time you want to add storage, you can't just add a little bit, you need to add a lot."

"The product must improve its recovery features."

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

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

"Its price is reasonable."

"The solution is open source."

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

"The price of this solution is very high compared to other solutions."

"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 solution's pricing a nine out of ten."

"Overall, Veritas is a good solution; the problem is the cost."

"Renewing subscriptions for appliance support is costly."

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

"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."
