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

"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
"The reliable backup and restoring of the Salesforce data is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very scalable."
"We mainly use Windows for all our operating systems. Our databases are SQL databases. For backups, we set up one master server and three process servers. Our company isn't big, so this setup works well for us. We install the Veritas NetBackup Appliance agent on all the systems that need to be backed up."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is information backup."
"The most valuable feature of the Veritas NetBackup Appliance is the virtual machine backups."
"This solution is very useful and stable."
"In the end, however, you have a really stable solution."
"Installing this solution is very simple and takes perhaps five or ten minutes."
"I like the fiber channel transport, and that the solution can make it a media server."
 

Cons

"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"The product should provide more AI and ML features."
"The only drawback for NetBackup, and of course for Veritas, is that they have stuck to the same environment and to the same UI - User Interface. This needs to be improved in future releases. It needs to be more dynamic."
"The price needs to be improved because it is really expensive."
"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved. We have some critical problems that have not yet been resolved, and everyone is nervous."
"The only room for improvement is that the cost per terabyte is extremely high."
"Sometimes, the user interface doesn't work smoothly."
"The reporting feature can be improved. At the moment, we can't acquire the exact information we need from NetBackup."
"It's an expensive solution."
