Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's pretty simple. Once you set it, it goes; and then the idea of being able to get it to the cloud very quickly. It's kind of a set-it-forget-it."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data. You're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"The flexibility. Being able to virtualize it, port it wherever I like, test my backups, test my DR capabilities whenever I like without impacting anybody."
"Being able to move data seamlessly from one-premise to the cloud (Azure). It works great. The backup solution is perfect for us."
"It's so easy to work with."
"You can store backups for a while."
"They are among the top in the world for backup and recovery."
"We were evaluating other products and getting confused between Commvault and Veritas NetBackup. The one reason that we started with Veritas NetBackup is the pricing of the license. There's no other reason from a technical perspective or even operation or capability of the two software. The main reason we chose Veritas NetBackup was that in our use case it is more cost-effective."
"Good graphical user interface. It's easy to create policies and to do installs."
"Ease of installing, configuring, upgrading, and troubleshooting."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"NetBackup is highly stable. We have more than 1,800 policies that run every day."
"Veritas NetBackup is a scalable solution."
"It provides us with the versatility to back up everything we require which eliminates the need for a secondary backup solution."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"I would like to see more web support."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
"Updates were not always consistent."
"The backup operation interface is not as mature as those of Veritas's competitors and has room for improvement."
"The solution's technical support process should be improved."
"Once the protection plan is created, we cannot pause or resume via the web administration page."
"The restore tool is not friendly to newcomers."
"NetBackup's reporting features are a little poor."
"In terms of improvement, it's very difficult to make it work with multiple business units. Its security model is too constricted."
"The reporting of the backups could be better."
