George Onalo - PeerSpot reviewer
Enterprise DevOps Lead at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Automated disaster recovery has cut manual work and now protects cross‑region workloads confidently
There are three major areas where Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS can be improved: infrastructure as code integration, predictive AI analytics, and data compression. Currently, we construct our automated landing zones using IaC, but we still have to jump into Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS UI afterwards to manually configure the application backup groups and policies. Being able to declare all our backup schedules directly inside our Terraform code would streamline our automation pipelines massively. In terms of predictive AI reporting, it needs to be more reliable. While it executes scheduled backups perfectly, it lacks proactive anomaly detection. We want the AI agent to accurately predict and flag a potential backup failure or snapshot timeout before the job actually triggers and fails. This would save our DevOps team tons of triage time.
MohamedFekry - PeerSpot reviewer
Enterprise Architect at vertowave
High-speed backup and strong deduplication have supported secure long-term data protection
In my opinion, what can be improved about Veritas NetBackup Appliance includes licensing. A mixed licensing model would be more helpful, such as terabytes plus virtual machines, terabytes plus instances, or number of instances. I believe this could work and create a new competitive licensing model against other products. Additionally, embedding Enterprise Vault or some of its features in the backup software would enable better competition with Commvault, which offers backup and archiving from the same console. For the next release of Veritas NetBackup Appliance, I would like to see improvements in licensing, increased deduplication ratio, and enhanced high availability. Having high availability for Veritas NetBackup Appliance without requiring virtual storage like Cohesity would be important. Improving the overall high availability of Veritas NetBackup Appliance would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"As an Advanced Tier Partner, Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS has had a major positive impact on our delivery velocity and engineering efficiency."
"Overall, these features make day-to-day backup operations more structured, reduce operational overhead, and improve confidence around recovery preparedness and cloud resilience."
"Previously, if we had any disaster or any issue, it would take days to bring the environment back up to the original state, and with Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS, we can do that within a couple of hours, which greatly reduces downtime in the case of disaster recovery."
"Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS helped us automate backup scheduling and policy management, gave us centralized visibility with a dashboard across AWS workloads of multiple accounts, helped us with a faster recovery process, and majorly reduced our operational overhead while improving our ransomware and data protection."
"The tool is easy to use, stable, and performs well, but it depends on the environment where it is deployed. It is leaning more toward huge enterprises where it is positioned. It needs to be as easy as others but addresses more complex requirements."
"I personally find Veritas NetBackup Applicance hassle-free."
"Even though we have top cloud solutions, if the infrastructure is on-premise and it's a large enough infrastructure, and if you have a good team to manage, the best, the most dependable solution would be NetBackup."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can be used in many different kinds of systems."
"The policy-based backup feature is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup Appliance is duplication and covers many applications."
"The utilization of Data Domain is crucial because of its integration with a key Veritas feature: retention lock. This feature ensures data integrity by preventing any alterations to stored data. When NetBackup interacts with Data Domain, enabling the retention lock feature ensures that neither administrators nor backup personnel can modify data stored within the system. This functionality is vital for compliance purposes and meets the requirements of auditors."
"We can add multiple appliances to the product."
 

Cons

"Customer support is fair and okay, though it could be better."
"Regarding customer support, as this is a very new product and relatively new in the market, I am not sure how long they have been around, but there seems to be a lack of understanding with the support team."
"One area where Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS could improve is expanding advanced analytics and predictive monitoring capabilities, especially for identifying backup risks, storage optimization opportunities, and recovery readiness trends more proactively."
"Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS has a fairly small market presence."
"It's hard to get to the backups. There are too many tabs."
"The graphic interface is complex, especially on the management and administrative side, requiring multiple steps for configuration instead of simple clicks in the console."
"The price needs to be improved because it is really expensive."
"It is not easy because I have worked a lot on the tool, and in case it gets corrupted at any point, it is not easy to restore the data without losing information is not easy."
"The price could be a bit better."
"One area needing improvement is to facilitate Oracle database restores using the GUI on the NetBackup Appliance."
"Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement."
"This solution is not as stable as Veeam. When it crashes and you want to cover, it is a complicated procedure."
