Carbonite Server vs Veritas NetBackup Appliance comparison

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

"The solution is very stable."

"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."

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

"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."

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

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

"If you use the NetBackup Appliance you do not need to have separate media servers and hardware. You can configure the same storage as a media server and master server as well as a storage port. This helps to reduce the hardware costs of the media server."

"The policy-based backup feature is very helpful."

"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."

"The solution offers high-secured appliances and supports enterprise-class encryption algorithms."

"The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface."

"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."

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

"It has been our go-to product for backup."

"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."

"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."

"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 only drawback for NetBackup, and of course for Veritas, is that they have stuck to the same environment and to the same UI - User Interface. This needs to be improved in future releases. It needs to be more dynamic."

"They need to make the licensing more clear. They should give all of the licensing details for the portals and be more clear. I have accidentally purchased the incorrect license because it's not clear."

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

"One area needing improvement is to facilitate Oracle database restores using the GUI on the NetBackup Appliance."

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

"The price is slightly expensive for small and medium enterprises. If they can review the prices, we feel it would be beneficial, especially for the African market."

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

"It's an expensive solution."

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

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

"The solution is open source."

"Its price is reasonable."

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

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

"Appliances do not come cheaply."

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

"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 product is expensive and comes with a yearly license."

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

"We pay annually. It is a huge figure for us."
