Good policies related to data
I primarily use it for various policies related to data, such as data retention, data deletion, and archiving policies. All policies can be set using this system The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities. I would like to see more integration with different platforms,…

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

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"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."
"We have a file server and our data file server, everything. We use it for VM server backup, too."
"Deduplication is quite efficient. It is not a complex product. It is quite simple."
"DLO: Client for laptops."
"Veritas NetBackup provides good backup performance, and I can mount the snapshot without an installer."
"Veritas released a new feature in version 8 of NetBackup called VRP. It's kind of like replication management from VMware. The great thing about this feature is that Veritas gave it to us for free."
"I have found it to be the simplest solution to the market. It gives us a complete end to end solution. We are using this solution, Veritas Appliance and another one for access archiving. It is convenient to have all the support from one vendor."
"We were able to witness the benefits of using the solution within weeks of using it."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"The product must enable data migration from on-premise to the cloud."
"The interface should be improved."
"The solution's technical support process should be improved."
"We are facing a challenge regarding the support for Docker and Kubernetes features. We hope for the possibility of directly backing up Kubernetes and Docker images without the necessity of taking full virtual machine backups."
"We would like the Java console to be updated."
"They currently have the Java concept and it should be less intensive and take less load."
"Once the protection plan is created, we cannot pause or resume via the web administration page."
"Improvements can be made to the service by providing better and more competitive ratios on data backups. The functionality for backups is there with Veritas, but I would like to see them optimize and enhance this feature more."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"If you have a complex environment with dozens of different servers and apps, I recommend you look for TB licensing."

"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."
"Veritas NetBackup's price could be a problem for small businesses."
"Licensing fees are charged based on the number of CPU cores."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
