We performed a comparison between NetApp Cloud Backup and Veritas Backup Exec based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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."
"It gives us the ability to locate and restore critical files which users may have intentionally or unknowing deleted a while ago."
"The solution is good for small and medium-sized businesses."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can rely on it. It offers a quick recovery time when it's backing up items. The way it recovers data is excellent."
"We are satisfied with the stability of the product."
"Veritas is simple and easy to deploy. In terms of the presentation and UI, they do their job well."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"It is a scalable product."
"Recovery via Active Directory is painless and much easier than the complicated setup procedures of other products."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
"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."
"We've experienced some performance issues with Backup Exec. The backup jobs take too long to complete."
"Expanding is difficult because if I want to add, for example, a terabyte of data, then I have to buy a disk shelf and it will cost me a lot."
"The reports could be made in an easier way."
"There's one common issue with tape backups: the tape might have some space left, but Backup Exec says it's not writable and needs replacement. We've encountered this with multiple clients, so it doesn't seem environment-specific. It's likely related to the software. We usually just format the tape and use it again without much investigation."
"The initial installation needs some effort."
"I wish that they have an outlet for the other products from Veritas built into the Backup Exec product. For example, Backup Exec does only server backup. Currently, it is possible to read the backup of one other product, but if they can add more products so that you can just go into the dashboard of these other products by clicking on a button within the Backup Exec product, it would be great."
"Veritas Backup Exec could improve the analytics. If there were some more detail in our scan reports it would be beneficial."
"I would like to improve their ability to back up the cloud environment. Additionally, it would be nice to have simpler UI."
