Reliable with good storage capabilities but sometimes shows a misleading status
The solution is straightforward to set up. It is easy; it's not complicated at all. I'd rate the ease of setup five out of ten. It's in the middle in terms of the level of difficulty. However, I find it quite simple. It takes the usual amount of time to set up due to all the modules. When we install a product on SolarWinds or the RMM platform, they take a similar amount of time. There is no specific time for a single module. If you deploy a single module will take almost the same time. If you deploy ten models together, they will have similar timing since they all are on the same RMM platform.

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 initial setup is very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is that you don't need any special connectivity - you just need to give your seller name, and then it automatically discovers all your virtual machines, which is a great benefit, especially in a bigger environment."
"DLO: Client for laptops."
"The backup and restore functions are very valuable aspects of the product."
"The reporting is very good, with all of the details highlighted and very clear."
"The most valuable feature is the trouble-free operation, as we have not had many problems with it."
"If you are running on a legacy tape environment NetBackup is best."
"We were able to witness the benefits of using the solution within weeks of using it."
"Could be used for both of Physical and Virtual Environments."
 

Cons

"The solution could always be more easily scalable."
"Support for the solution needs improvement."
"The pricing is a bit of a concern. If could be lower."
"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."
"There may be a learning curve."
"Enhancing reporting across the board would be beneficial."
"The cost is expensive."
"Veritas NetBackup has been in the backup and recovery market for quite a long time, but somehow, from my own observations and from feedback from end users, its user interface is lagging behind other comparable solutions such as Veeam."
"The backup operation interface is not as mature as those of Veritas's competitors and has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Licensing fees are charged based on the number of CPU cores."
"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."
"The solution is expensive compared to other alternatives."
"The licensing model is cost-prohibitive as you scale out."
"The price is fair."
"Price-wise, most of the backup products are similarly priced, and NetBackup is the same."
"Pricing is pretty costly as compared to the other products but worth investing for the long term and high ROI."
"This is an affordable solution"
