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 uses minimal resources."
"The Oracle Agent and Oracle RAC support are valuable features; they are crucial for taking backups and cloning applications."
"Compared to a homemade installation, this appliance is very stable."
"It is very capable of scaling and very good for heterogeneous environments."
"I can confidently say that I have managed more than 30 or 50 appliances over different time periods, and yet I never had a single hardware failure."
"The backup capabilities are very good, and we find the ability to allow for business continuity to be very helpful."
"NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is the duplication encryption standard feature."
"The product enables me to recover the information of the appliances in the organization."
 

Cons

"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
"The recovery backup has been problematic."
"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
"The installation is cumbersome."
"The price could be a bit better."
"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."
"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 challenge arose due to a space issue. The issue was related to disk breaks, especially when power cuts occurred. One of the disks would break, leading to a loss of functionality."
"This solution is not as stable as Veeam. When it crashes and you want to cover, it is a complicated procedure."
