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."
"NetBackup is very easy for end-users."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature as it reduces the backup time and provides backup of a single copy of data"
"The Dedup and file storage is great."
"Veritas NetBackup is a scalable solution."
"If you are running on a legacy tape environment NetBackup is best."
"Best feature is its three-tier backup."
"It is a good solution. It covers most of the applications."
"Great deduplication feature."
 

Cons

"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"The implementation process could be simplified to make it quicker."
"There may be a learning curve."
"In the next release, I would like to have a better way to protect against ransomware attacks and a better way of logging issues where you don't have to enable the verbose logging to capture the problems."
"There is a big change in Veritas. In the past, we could easily change servers or appliances and continue working by restoring the catalog. We could change servers from Linux to Linux or Linux to Solaris and perform catalog restores to continue working. But with the new version, we are forced to engage Veritas' professional services, which is too expensive."
"Once the protection plan is created, we cannot pause or resume via the web administration page."
"Within their product lineup, they need to consolidate down to one product. Veritas doesn't have one product that does everything. So, Veritas can do everything, but you basically need to run two products. I would like them to combine all the capabilities into one release."
"The virtual environment, cloud integration, copy data management features need improvement."
"Setup implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"If you have a complex environment with dozens of different servers and apps, I recommend you look for TB licensing."
"Pricing is pretty costly as compared to the other products but worth investing for the long term and high ROI."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"NetBackup is expensive. They need to work on the pricing side. I find it comparatively on the higher side when I compare the terabyte backup costs."
"It is reasonably priced."
"Its price is quite reasonable. The cost depends on the depreciation and the volume. It also depends on the infrastructure. If your infrastructure increases, you would need some more licenses."
"Veritas Netbackup offers affordable licensing."
