Veritas NetBackup support varies; high-tier plans excel, but training, communication, and language barriers need improvement.
The most valuable aspects of Infrascale’s support for my company are the turnaround time and the resolution time.
Their average mean time to resolve open tickets is an hour.
The right expertise, a timely response, and being able to get to the right person to help you resolve the problem are very important.
Their support is good, with technical teams available 24/7.
I contacted their support once, and the process was slow, which discouraged further contact.
The customer service and support are excellent.

Room For Improvement

Users seek improved pricing clarity, bandwidth control, security, integration, dashboard functionality, intuitive interface, SSDs, and flexible licensing.
Veritas NetBackup Appliance needs improved UI, scalability, cost efficiency, cloud integration, security, management, and support for competitiveness.
Many customers do not rely on just one cloud provider and want to work with multiple clouds.
When the product works, there is really nothing to fix, but they can allow different types of backups, such as differential or incremental backups.
Improving the interface could enhance user experience.
The only room for improvement is that the cost per terabyte is extremely high.
The costing part is on the higher side.
 

Setup Cost

Infrascale's pricing is competitive and flexible, though users find the licensing structure complex and occasionally higher than competitors.
Veritas NetBackup Appliance is pricey with complex licensing, yet some justify costs for its features despite high renewal expenses.
To someone considering Infrascale but is concerned about the price, I would say that they should get Infrascale's service no matter what it costs because any downtime or any loss of data is substantially worse than any cost for backup.
The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others.
It's more costly than Commvault, which offers similar features at 70% of the price.
Regarding cost, it's quite expensive, but I'm not sure about the exact licensing costs.
The cost of the product is reasonably priced.
 

Valuable Features

Infrascale offers easy, rapid disaster recovery with robust features like fast VM boot-up, centralized management, and strong data protection.
Veritas NetBackup Appliance offers fast, cost-efficient backup with easy integration, scalability, user-friendly interface, and strong technical support.
What I like the most about it is that backups and restores are simple, straightforward, and clean.
Performing backup and recovery can be done very intuitively with the solution and the interface that is part of the solution.
The biggest advantage is that I do not need to manage backups on traditional tapes, which helps maintain total business continuity.
It integrates with monitoring tools like Splunk and supports automation through Python, Shell, or Ansible.
The most significant benefit has been the time to restore.

Harry Vining - PeerSpot reviewer
The overall ease of use and ease of management using the dashboard is excellent
I can't really think of anything that really needs to be improved from my perspective, because I only use the backup. Maybe someone who is using something else might have a different opinion on that. But for the online backup and recovery tool, I'm not going to say there's anything that needs improvement. They can always improve stuff. But from the top of my head, I can't think of anything. It does what it needs to do. That's it. It doesn't need to do anything more than what it does and nothing less than what it's doing. The Infrascale dashboard when it comes to centralized deployment and configuration is excellent. I have no problems with the solution. They could always make it better. They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement, but there's nothing on the top of my head that's saying, "Hey, this is what needs to be fixed." But, the programmers are probably working on their own things. So, there's always room for improvement.
Ahmed Handal - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced data retention and recovery with robust backup features
The Oracle Agent and Oracle RAC support are valuable features; they are crucial for taking backups and cloning applications. NetBackup Appliance has many features. Backup Exec is a great product as well. NetBackup is well-developed with strong features, including deduplication technology, which allows us to retain backups for longer periods—exceeding our expectations by keeping backups for almost a month. It's effective for data recovery and capable of handling large-scale data recoveries. It is very stable and keeps applications secure. However, the AI integration is not yet tested.
