Iwegbue Godspower Isioma - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to setup, good support and stable product
When we started, we used Acronis for both cloud and on-premises backups. Protege was a reliable solution, and the cloud-focused approach is well-suited for our current needs. If you require both cloud and on-premises backup capabilities, Acronis is a more comprehensive solution. For solely cloud-based backups, Protege is a solid option.
Wesam Qashou - PeerSpot reviewer
A mature backup solution, with many features, and great support
Veritas NetBackup is the first line of defense when disaster strikes. Before performing disaster recovery, we must have a good backup of our image that is also protected from ransomware. This way, we have a golden image that is resilient to ransomware attacks. We saw the benefits of Veritas NetBackup within the first three months.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Since it is on the cloud, it is a very stable solution."
"This product is flexible enough to allow for backing up data from physical machines, as well as from your cloud environment."
"Includes snapshots and multiple database agents."
"The most valuable feature is the trouble-free operation, as we have not had many problems with it."
"We have an issue with the last version on the latest backup of the solution as it is not compatible with Sybase 16.5."
"The main thing I like about NetBackup is CloudPoint. You can take a snapshot of the endpoint and back it up with CloudPoint. The data backups are the most important."
"Ease of installing, configuring, upgrading, and troubleshooting."
"The solution has been very good over the years at fine-tuning various aspects of the product so that it is continuously made better."
"This is a product that has been on the market for a while and they have mastered the backup process, especially when backing up to tape, for most environments."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement would be expanding its capabilities beyond Azure-specific backups."
"We faced so many backup configuration issues. And from the Veritas side, they couldn't fix that issue. So we started from scratch, purchased everything, and then we configured everything. Therefore, the support could be better."
"Extra features come with additional costs."
"Technical support is somewhat slow and is in need of improvement."
"I do not really like NetBackup as it is coming from a mix of other software packages."
"Setup implementation."
"The database integration could be better."
"There is room for improvement in the implementation of Power servers."
"There may be a learning curve."
