We optimize critical data management with versatile enterprise solutions while maintaining excellent user interface experience
The features of Veritas NetBackup that are most useful for us involve different backup scenarios such as huge contents, including our file server repositories. We have to write that backup on the tape media, which is why we observe that Veritas NetBackup is a very strong product in these areas. Regarding granular recovery, we sometimes use certain files, specifically accidentally deleted or required files from the backups, in maintaining data continuity. The feature is effective and works every time. The interface in Veritas NetBackup is very friendly and useful, and it has been standard during the last 10 years. We are very used to this interface and do not feel any complications. Veritas NetBackup is basically a single product which fulfills all the technical requirements specifically required for the backup job or the backup domain. It supports multi platforms, multi applications, and multiple hardware at the same time, so we generally feel it is a full feature solution. Most importantly, they have very tight integration at a very granular level, and recently we inducted another product Veritas File System in our environment because we have an issue with huge content data, so we have optimized the problem of that data by using the Veritas File System VxFS. Veritas NetBackup is a scalable solution for us. It is a very comprehensive solution that can manage numerous backups, and we already have a somewhat complicated environment in which backups are first written on the backup appliance and then moved to tape, and everything is managed through Veritas NetBackup very easily.

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."
"Veritas NetBackup is very user-friendly and has some good quick recovery features."
"This product is flexible enough to allow for backing up data from physical machines, as well as from your cloud environment."
"The tool's information transfer and patching up is easy. The solution offers protection from ransomware which is also a valuable feature."
"Its most valuable features are flexibility and reliability."
"Good graphical user interface. It's easy to create policies and to do installs."
"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."
"It is a good solution. It covers most of the applications."
"It is very easy to back up and recover files compared to other products."
 

Cons

"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"Veritas NetBackup needs improvement in terms of integration with the cloud."
"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."
"The security and performance could improve with Veritas NetBackup. The security could be improved by protecting the data from attackers."
"The product must enable data migration from on-premise to the cloud."
"You cannot tell what your costs are going to be by using the dashboard, which is something that should be improved."
"Maybe they could add more cloud solutions."
"Extra features come with additional costs."
"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."

"The solution is expensive compared to other alternatives."
