Fast data recovery for large scale datasets
The Infiniguard (dedicated disc storage), offers a petabyte of storage space for on-site disc storage for backups. Because of this, we were able to get rid of our tapes. Essentially, it replaced our tape backups. We're definitely going to be buying another INFINIDAT array. We do have another location that is going to be needing a new array sometime soon, so we'll be buying another one. The beautiful thing about them is that you can set them up to replicate for disaster recovery between the two of them and set up some nice replication jobs, site to site, for automatic database replication.
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

"Essentially, it replaced our tape backups."
"The Dedup and file storage is great."
"AIR and duplication, overall management and troubleshooting."
"Veritas NetBackup is very user-friendly and has some good quick recovery features."
"Specific features that I could not do without are SLPs for replication and duplication control and AIR which makes DR easy."
"If you are running on a legacy tape environment NetBackup is best."
"It has a very good user interface."
"Veritas NetBackup is very stable and scales out very well."
"The simulation engine is highly valuable as it allows us to simulate what a failure would be like and generate reports."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."
"The web interface is not modern."
"The flip side about NetBackup is that it is not policy-based."
"The solution is not that stable because it has to be monitored and administered every day. The stability could be improved."
"The pricing is a bit of a concern. If could be lower."
"It's not a user-friendly solution. It's a little bit complicated. The UI is not very friendly."
"In terms of improvement, it's very difficult to make it work with multiple business units. Its security model is too constricted."
"The pricing could be improved, and the interface could be more intuitive."
"What needs to be improved in Veritas NetBackup is its interface, e.g. they should make it more user friendly. Scalability for this product could still be improved, particularly its hardware appliance scalability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Its price is quite reasonable. The cost depends on the depreciation and the volume. It also depends on the infrastructure. If your infrastructure increases, you would need some more licenses."
"We are very satisfied with the price of this solution."
"This is an affordable solution"
"Licensing fees are charged based on the number of CPU cores."
"If you want to have more scalability you have to purchase more licenses. The license is annually and there are a lot of different licensing depending on the number of terabytes needed. It is not based on per-user, core, or servers. You can backup anything you want using the purchased terabyte space."
"Veritas NetBackup's pricing is a bit steep when compared to other tools. It is very costly, but service-wise and overall, the Veritas NetBackup is a good product."
"Most people have felt this solution was somewhat expensive."
"The software and license are very expensive."
