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

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 ability to scale and expand with Veritas NetBackup Appliance is good, and I give it a high rating."
"Overall, Veritas is a good solution; the problem is the cost."
"The tool is easy to use, stable, and performs well, but it depends on the environment where it is deployed. It is leaning more toward huge enterprises where it is positioned. It needs to be as easy as others but addresses more complex requirements."
"The reporting is very good compared to other tools."
"It has been our go-to product for backup."
"The NetBackup appliance features customized software that is designed for storage."
"I connect these Veritas NetBackup Appliance because they are highly stable and stronger, therefore we don't require so much maintenance to use these appliances."
"The most valuable feature involves VMware Instant Recovery, which allows one to do restoration within seconds."
 

Cons

"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
"If you compare the solution to, for example, Dell Data Domain, it looks that the deduplication ratio is even higher than what we have on NetBackup."

"Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement."
"Most of the organizations I see are going to the cloud and they escape the physical architecture to minimize investment in their local data center as much as possible."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."
"I would like the ability to recover a single folder within the backup of a virtual machine."
"They could improve the interface a bit. It's not as good as it could be."
"Figuring out pricing from the site is challenging because the initial pricing mentioned on the site is too high."
