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."
"I like that it's enterprise-capable. It can handle multiple operating systems. It can handle multiple database types. It can handle a lot of different backup use cases. It's flexible."
"The backup and restore functions are very valuable aspects of the product."
"We have an issue with the last version on the latest backup of the solution as it is not compatible with Sybase 16.5."
"I have found it to be the simplest solution to the market. It gives us a complete end to end solution. We are using this solution, Veritas Appliance and another one for access archiving. It is convenient to have all the support from one vendor."
"Veritas NetBackup is a scalable solution."
"This is a complete solution, everything is under one console."
"It covers all kinds of different architectures. Plus, it's very user-friendly and it is very reliable"
 

Cons

"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"What needs to be improved in Veritas NetBackup is its interface, e.g. they should make it more user friendly. Scalability for this product could still be improved, particularly its hardware appliance scalability."
"The database integration could be better."
"The virtual environment, cloud integration, copy data management features need improvement."
"In regards to protecting the physical servers with parameters, it's a long and difficult process."
"The solution is not easy to use. You need to train yourself step by step because it is complex, but it is a good solution. Its pricing could be cheaper."
"Technical support only gets back to us the following morning."
"Veritas NetBackup has been in the backup and recovery market for quite a long time, but somehow, from my own observations and from feedback from end users, its user interface is lagging behind other comparable solutions such as Veeam."
"They need to work on the GUI. It has been the same for the last 10 years."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Smaller virtualized environments will want to stick to a traditional licensing model if possible. It will likely be cheaper, but it is a pain to manage all the individual licenses for each client."
"The licensing model for this solution is very powerful."
"The price is okay."
"If you have a source size of one terabyte then they will charge for a one terabyte license, although what is actually being stored is much less."
"The solution is expensive."
"Veritas NetBackup's price could be a problem for small businesses."
"Annual licensing fee."
"It is slightly more expensive than Commvault, but it is pretty much the same. It is an enterprise solution, so it scales quite well. It has a lot of features. So, you pay for what you get. It is not cheap, but it is fit for the purpose."
