Carbonite Server vs Veritas NetBackup Appliance comparison

"This solution is very simple to use and I will recommend it to anybody."

"It seems reliable and easy to use."

"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. One of the main reasons for looking at Carbonite was their support for platforms like AIX and AS/400 Series."

"The solution is very stable."

"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."

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

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

"The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup Appliance is duplication and covers many applications."

"Technical support has been great."

"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 solution uses minimal resources."

"A specific example where Veritas NetBackup Appliance helped me recover data or avoid a major issue is when I had a scenario where a customer was using two backup applications, one being Veritas NetBackup Appliance and the other one being one of the other common Windows-based solutions, the environment was attacked by ransomware, and they were able to recover 100 percent using Veritas NetBackup Appliance, whereas the other backup solution was 100 percent affected."

"The solution is pretty easy to use, with a very easy-to-navigate user interface that allows users to easily learn as they go, and its pricing is pretty good and not too expensive for us."

"The NetBackup appliance features customized software that is designed for storage."

"When we moved to NetBackup we discovered a whole new world of possibilities and capabilities."

"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."

"I would like to see an improvement on the management user interface, as well as Kellion integrations."

"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."

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

"The Hyper-V backup 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."

"We are having problems with them because of the licensing, and this is why we are changing solutions."

"The challenge arose due to a space issue. The issue was related to disk breaks, especially when power cuts occurred. One of the disks would break, leading to a loss of functionality."

"The upgrade process of the solution needs to be improved since it is extremely complicated, especially without the benefit of a support person who can guide one through it."

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

"Veritas support needs improvement. They contact you on time and follow up on time, but they are unable to understand the problem and develop a solution."

"The tool's pricing is expensive and could be lower."

"In summary, this is a good product but it is very expensive."

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

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

"Its price is reasonable."

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

"The solution is open source."

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

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

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

"There is a license required for this solution."

"The solution is not cheap"

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

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