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 tool's most valuable feature is backups."
"Deduplication is quite efficient. It is not a complex product. It is quite simple."
"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 backup and restore features are helpful."
"It is important, when we chose a solution, that the customer service/technical support team could help us when we needed it, but the support was good."
"We are quite satisfied with the performance and reliability of the NetBackup product. When it comes to specific features, the most valuable is the Instant Recovery feature, which we call "short-term IR". Instant Recovery allows users to spin up backup images and bring back any VM instantly."
"The Replication Director, Auto Image Replication, Accelerator, Oracle Intelligent Policy, synthetic and VADP backups are the most valuable features."
"I think this is the best backup solution that we have. It is very good for the infrastructure."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"It would be better if it had a cloud integration feature. I would like to use a single product for the cloud instances and the on-premise instances. The price could also be better."
"The solution could have a more clear dashboard about the license and the operation status."
"Data restoration from Veritas NetBackup is quite slow. I would also like documentation that I can share with my technical team."
"The web interface is not modern."
"We want a solution that can be scaled-out because our data is growing very quickly, and we aren't able to back it up quickly. It takes one or two days, which is a problem. It is very slow. We just use one backup server. We want another solution with maybe a backup server cluster to back up more data in one day. We want a solution that can be scaled-out to back up our data quickly and efficiently."
"They currently have the Java concept and it should be less intensive and take less load."
"The licensing costs could be more affordable."
"In the next release, I would like to have a better way to protect against ransomware attacks and a better way of logging issues where you don't have to enable the verbose logging to capture the problems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing model is cost-prohibitive as you scale out."
"The price of NetBackup is okay. I think it's a little bit expensive but manageable. It has a lot of features, and the backup is better than most applications, so I think the price is competitive."
"This is an affordable solution"
"The licensing fees are expensive."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution."
"It is reasonably priced."
"The solution is expensive compared to other alternatives."
