Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software.
One is less floor space in the data center and the ability to pack more data into the backup storage on Dell PowerProtect Data Domain as compared to the traditional backup storage.
The best part is the compression and deduplication feature.
We have not fully expanded the air gap yet, and we are still in the testing stages concerning recovery in case of a cybersecurity threat.
If we request the price for StoreOnce as a standalone product, it tends to be higher than when it is included in a larger solution where we can receive better discounts.
It is suitable for our nature of business because data is very critical, and we cannot compromise on backup.
We feel that we are working with people who understand the technology and the historical patterns of this environment, and when we raise a support request, we have no doubt because it seems that we are working with a product engineer.
Nowadays, we can connect directly to the Dell team and in a very minimal time, we can get the support from them.
They respond within 24 hours of case submission, which is crucial for maintaining the solution.
HPE's support is very good, proactive, and monitored through InfoSight.
When we open a case for support during installation or other matters, they are always timely and provide full support.
The support from Veritas NetBackup is very good.
The customer support is very poor.
The technical support from Veritas is rated an eight, as the local partners are good and support us.
The scalability depends on the IT department's strategy.
Dell PowerProtect Data Domain is very scalable; it expands easily with new enclosures.
Dell PowerProtect Data Domain can scale up horizontally to meet the growing needs of our organization.
The ability of HPE StoreOnce to scale is strong when more sizing options are available.
The scalability of HPE StoreOnce is very good.
I feel that if you can keep it at least two or three levels back or forward with backward compatibility available, it would help people use the old disk storage and get more storage space.
The size of the catalog was an issue, but it was more about outgrowing our own architecture than a problem with Veritas NetBackup itself.
We have never encountered issues such as data corruption with these systems.
I have not experienced any downtime, crashes, or performance issues with it.
I have been using it for up to three years with no upgrading or downtime.
For the stability of HPE StoreOnce, based on customer feedback, I rate it highly as one of the most stable products in the backup and archiving line.
Veritas NetBackup performs well in terms of stability.
In the last 10 years, I have never faced a single incident regarding stability with Veritas NetBackup.
Local support must be available in the country.
We can leverage writing NAS level backup into Dell PowerProtect Data Domain rather than utilizing any other software tools such as Networker.
Dell PowerProtect Data Domain represents the fastest and most reliable solution, ensuring great integration with backup software.
It is well-positioned on the radar, with a mature and stable solution.
The benefits of StoreOnce, which we discussed, include its compression capabilities with a ratio of 1 to 10.
While the solution does everything expected, it would be beneficial if AI could be integrated for optimization and monitoring.
Veritas NetBackup needs improvement in terms of integration with the cloud.
We would really appreciate if Veritas offers products by which we can secure our backups against these ransomware attacks.
Support tickets take too long to be solved and the quality of engineers they have for support has lately become lacking.
It is almost four times the earlier price.
For small clients, it is very expensive.
The pricing has become higher since July, and the license costs are more expensive compared to the past.
The solution is quite expensive, possibly rated around seven and a half on a scale of one to ten.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the appliance licensing is a bit tricky and a bit expensive, especially when I have to license the hardware and the software;
I would rate pricing for Veritas NetBackup around six, as it is neither high nor low.
The most valuable feature of Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is its deduplication capability.
Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is highly consistent, durable, easy to install, scalable, and compatible with any software today.
The most beneficial features in the product are compatibility, which is the most valuable function.
If the actual size for backup data is 100 terabytes, using StoreOnce, it will be around less than 10% of the original size due to the 1 to 10 deduplication ratio.
The most effective features for data deduplication are maximizing storage capacity and minimizing expenditure.
The recovery is important.
In my opinion, the main benefits Veritas NetBackup provides are that it is a unified platform where we can integrate all the requirements such as online backup, offline backup, and virtualization backup in one single platform, although my only concern is the licensing structure.
I have found Veritas NetBackup to be the most reliable backup solution I have worked with so far.
Although we do not utilize its deduplication technology or cloud integration, we can trigger storage actions with NetBackup.

Veritas NetBackup is an enterprise-grade backup and recovery software solution. NetBackup securely restores and backs up files, raw partitions, and directories on a server known as a media server. A server protected by NetBackup is referred to as a NetBackup client. During the backup process, the NetBackup client sends the data through the network to the NetBackup media server, which chooses the appropriate storage media as the backup point.
Veritas NetBackup is a trusted enterprise backup solution that integrates with many of today’s popular databases, such as Microsoft SQL, Oracle, Linux, Unix, and Microsoft operating systems. The solution is able to backup data to tape, disc, and public clouds and keeps the popular Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware hypervisors safe and secure.
Veritas NetBackup Features
Reviews from Real Users
Mahdi B., Solution Architect and IT Consultant at Merdasco - Rayan Merdas Data Processing, says, “Veritas integrates well with the cloud, all databases, all operating systems, all hardware, and all software. Veritas also has solid malware and ransomware protection features. From time to time, we face a new kind of attack, and Veritas has always proven to be the best protection solution for some of my customers. Our customers who have faced ransomware attacks were able to recover their data in less than one day without any stress. Veritas is ransomware resilient and because of its implementation, it is not dependent on the operating system to work. Most of the functions of the Veritas software are isolated from the operating system and it's not dependent on the operating systems involved. This is very important. When some of our operating systems are infected by a virus, Veritas still works perfectly and protects our data. This feature is very well implemented in Veritas NetBackup.”
A PeerSpot user who is a General Manager at a comms service provider relates, “Veritas enterprise has many agents who perform the backup, whether it is a consistent backup or recorded backup. The solution has everything from the snapshot to the multiple database agents.”
Mir-Ali, Infrastructure Manager - Oracle SCM at a financial services firm, shares, “It covers all kinds of different architectures. Plus, it's very user-friendly and it is very reliable. Reliability is the most important thing because once the backup is done, if it is successful, then we're sure that it was successful and we will be able to restore it.”
