Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The enterprise search and instant restore are pretty valuable. Also, the Helios stuff is pretty good and the SAS engine for ransom malware detection."
"After linking a cloud subscription, like Azure for example (AWS and Google are also supported), you can "spin" a VM onto the cloud from any backup snapshot."
"It's completely reliable and easy to restore."
"We can run test scripts on production data."
"Instant recovery options are a big benefit for urgent restores, as we don't need to wait for hours or days for a restore to complete before being able to access the files."
"We like that we can use production data to run intensive reports that would otherwise bog down the production server."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easily manageable, and you can see every option from the user interface."
"With the ability to stage an entire lifecycle through versioning, integrated with AWS, it has made it possible to protect our corporation from end to end."
"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 solution uses minimal resources."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is information backup."
"We can add multiple appliances to the product."
"We rarely need their help. I would give their technical support an 8.5 out of ten. We are satisfied."
"NetBackup is based on really good architectural hardware, and Veritas has the best backup and replication technology in the world."
"The tool's most valuable feature is recovery."
"The solution is useful for backups."
"We are waiting on the AIX agent to be released."
"The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors."
"The support team could do a better job. Sometimes finding the correct person is cumbersome and time consuming."
"We would love to see direct compatibility with HPE Simplivity, which we also leverage."
"Quality testing of upgrades should be somewhat improved."
"Reporting is quite limited and not customizable."
"They could always keep up with continuous interface refinements."
"Microsoft Exchange online mailbox backups would be fantastic."
"The installation is cumbersome."
"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 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."
"The monitoring could be a bit better."
"The configuration can sometimes be tricky during implementation."
"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."
"The NetBackup software is based on Red Hat Linux, but we should have multiple software options for that. We should have more OS options. Also, there are too many tools and intermediaries. Everything should be built into an all-in-one solution."
