We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
8.1
Teradata boosts analytics speed over 100%, enhancing customer service and satisfaction, with high ROI and user approval.
Sentiment score
7.5
Veritas NetBackup Appliance enhances efficiency with deduplication, saving storage costs, and providing ransomware protection, though not ideal for small setups.
The immutability feature ensures customers do not incur costs in case of ransomware, allowing for a safe restore, which means they are avoiding ransom payments, and that is a big win for the customer.
Veritas NetBackup Appliance has helped reduce costs by 30% and has improved operational efficiency.

Teradata's customer service is praised for expertise but criticized for delays, with ratings ranging from 6 to 10 out of 10.

7.0
Veritas NetBackup Appliance support varies, with differing response times, technical understanding, and effectiveness based on package and location.
The technical support from Teradata is quite advanced.
Customer support is very good, rated eight out of ten under our essential agreement.
Veritas has a very good support infrastructure with trained engineers.
Their support is good, with technical teams available 24/7.
The customer service and support are excellent.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
Teradata is praised for its scalability, speed, and flexibility, despite some complexity and cost challenges in cloud environments.
Sentiment score
7.9
Veritas NetBackup Appliance excels in scalable data management for enterprises, though expansion and cloud flexibility incur additional costs.
This expansion can occur without incurring downtime or taking systems offline.
Scalability is complex as you need to purchase a license and coordinate with Teradata for additional disk space and CPU.
I would rate the scalability of the product as a nine out of ten.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.4
Teradata excels in stability with minimal downtime, robust architecture, 99.9% uptime, and reliable performance, despite minor large dataset issues.
Sentiment score
8.6
Veritas NetBackup Appliance is highly rated for stability and reliability, despite occasional recovery complexities and upgrade challenges.
I find the stability to be almost a ten out of ten.
The workload management and software maturity provide a reliable system.
They do lab tests before releasing any patch, so currently, the product is stable.
I am satisfied with its performance and would rate it ten out of ten for stability.
 

Room For Improvement

Teradata users seek better transaction processing, enhanced scalability, modern interface, cloud focus, advanced analytics, and improved support and documentation.
Veritas NetBackup Appliance needs a more intuitive interface, improved recovery, better cloud integration, and enhanced scalability and security.
Unlike SQL and Oracle, which have in-built replication capabilities, we don't have similar functionality with Teradata.
Improving the interface could enhance user experience.
The only room for improvement is that the cost per terabyte is extremely high.
I believe they can do more to give customers more insight into their data, allowing them to see it and understand what they can do, such as archiving old data.
 

Setup Cost

Teradata's high cost is justified by its superior performance, competitive total ownership costs, and flexible pricing models.
Veritas NetBackup Appliance pricing is high but competitive due to features, with satisfied users rating six to nine out of ten.
Initially, it may seem expensive compared to similar cloud databases, however, it offers significant value in performance, stability, and overall output once in use.
Teradata is much more expensive than SQL, which is well-performed and cheaper.
It's more costly than Commvault, which offers similar features at 70% of the price.
The price is slightly expensive for small and medium enterprises.
The cost of the product is reasonably priced.
 

Valuable Features

Teradata offers efficient, scalable data management with fast query performance, robust security, automation, and cloud flexibility for businesses.
Veritas NetBackup Appliance offers high-speed backup, integration, scalability, ease of use, strong protection, and cost-effectiveness for enterprises.
The data mover is valuable over the last two years as it allows us to achieve data replication to our disaster recovery systems.
The biggest advantage is that I do not need to manage backups on traditional tapes, which helps maintain total business continuity.
It integrates with monitoring tools like Splunk and supports automation through Python, Shell, or Ansible.
The deduplication technology in Veritas NetBackup Appliance is one of the key features which is very beneficial to users who have large data that is similar in terms of file extensions.

Enhanced data retention and recovery with robust backup features
The Oracle Agent and Oracle RAC support are valuable features; they are crucial for taking backups and cloning applications. NetBackup Appliance has many features. Backup Exec is a great product as well. NetBackup is well-developed with strong features, including deduplication technology, which allows us to retain backups for longer periods—exceeding our expectations by keeping backups for almost a month. It's effective for data recovery and capable of handling large-scale data recoveries. It is very stable and keeps applications secure. However, the AI integration is not yet tested.
