Wesam Qashou - PeerSpot reviewer
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 our customers is the restore functionality."
"The most valuable feature is that it is basically a replica of our SAND data. We archive the SAND data for recovery, if there is an issue on the fence."
"It has a very good user interface."
"I like the cross-platform features."
"Disaster recovery primarily involves backup usage. We employ it for both backup and recovery purposes. The backup and recovery processes have been executed multiple times, even restoring data from backups created three to four years ago."
"The reporting is very good, with all of the details highlighted and very clear."
"Our customers who have faced ransomware attacks were able to recover their data in less than one day without any stress. Veritas is ransomware resilient and because of its implementation, it is not dependent on the operating system to work."
"We have a file server and our data file server, everything. We use it for VM server backup, too."
"They are among the top in the world for backup and recovery."
 

Cons

"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"The implementation process could be simplified to make it quicker."
"It's not a user-friendly solution. It's a little bit complicated. The UI is not very friendly."
"This solution would benefit from a more friendly, web-based interface."
"There could be granular control over metadata components, specifically in the context of JSON data for the product."
"It gets a lot of new features, but improvements in basic functionality are often sacrificed for a shiny new bullet point to put on sales presentations."
"The user interface could improve, it seems a bit out of date."
"Its integration with Nutanix and technical support can be improved."
"The licensing costs could be more affordable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Most people have felt this solution was somewhat expensive."
"The price is fair."
"Acceptable if you need to implement it for larger environments, e.g. over 1000 clients. For smaller setups it might be too expensive."
"There is a license required for this solution and it is priced based upon the data used."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"If you have a complex environment with dozens of different servers and apps, I recommend you look for TB licensing."
"The price is okay."
"My licensing model is based on capacity so as we grow, the price we pay increases and it becomes too expensive."
