Simplifies our backups with an agentless backup manager, but needs better integration with in-house applications
Adnan Yurtoglu.
Easy to use with good virtualization and good data protection

Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered.""NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology.""Scalability is very good."

More NetApp Cloud Backup Pros →

"The ransomware protection feature and anomaly detection are the most valuable, and the ability to integrate new cloud workloads is also valuable.""The solution is very easy to use.""It is rather easy to replicate data across your cloud environment using this solution once you've done it a few times."

More Veritas Alta Data Protection Pros →

Cons
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well.""Integration and reporting could be improved.""NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."

More NetApp Cloud Backup Cons →

"Maybe a year and a half ago, during a backup, I had an updating issue with Java.""It would be nice if reporting was a bit easier.""NetBackup should be made more user-friendly, and a video tutorial should be created to help new users understand how to configure and use the solution properly."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Our usage depends on the number of licenses we have. On the cloud, it's a pay-to-use kind of model which suits our needs well. Once we have the Cloud Manager installed, the licensing process is okay, regardless of whether we're running backups in the cloud or on-premises. Sometimes, we have to restrict the number of users as per the contractual agreement and in this case we simply cut down on the licensing."
  • "Cost could be lower."
  • "NetApp Cloud Backup has a subscription-based model and it is paid annually."

  • "NetBackup is 20 percent more expensive compared to the competition."
