Comparison Results: Veeam Backup & Replication comes out on top in this comparison. According to its users, it is easier to set up and more user friendly than Veritas NetBackup.
"Initially setting up the product is easy."
"It serves its intended purpose and it works well."
"It has an intuitive interface, and it provides us with successful backups without needing to tweak or do any adjusting. We just set it up and like their ad says, "It Just Works.""
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are very good."
"It's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far."
"While I do not recall whether the latest version is 10.0 or 11.0 I do know that it allows one to make a back up repository that is very scalable and simple."
"Veeam Backup Replication's snapshotting and cloning are the most valuable features."
"We have evaluated other solutions but Veeam is the best for virtualization."
"It provides us with the versatility to back up everything we require which eliminates the need for a secondary backup solution."
"Includes snapshots and multiple database agents."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature as it reduces the backup time and provides backup of a single copy of data"
"The Dedup and file storage is great."
"We are quite satisfied with the performance and reliability of the NetBackup product. When it comes to specific features, the most valuable is the Instant Recovery feature, which we call "short-term IR". Instant Recovery allows users to spin up backup images and bring back any VM instantly."
"The reporting is very good, with all of the details highlighted and very clear."
"It is a good solution. It covers most of the applications."
"The most valuable feature is its stability."
"We're using both Backup and Replication, Veeam Cloud Connect, and Veeam Office 365. What I am missing is a good graphical user interface between these three products."
"I would like to see more broad support for other applications such as databases, or other operating systems."
"It would be beneficial to have enhanced solutions for database backup, particularly for Oracle databases in the context of SAP systems."
"In the past, Veeam had a host-based license, but now it will be part of Microsoft's core license. I don't like this licensing model. Host-based licensing is better for my system. Maybe so other organizations prefer the core-based."
"I would like to see a storage application in the next version of the product."
"It would be preferable if they could introduce a complete Linux version instead of relying solely on Microsoft for management. There should be a unified integration of all their products. Currently, there are various products like cloud backup and others that exist separately. It would be better if they could create a single comprehensive platform or product, as opposed to having disparate products that lack proper communication between them."
"While the Veeam Backup Replication tool can mostly back up all the data in the environment, the AIX from IBM backup capabilities nowadays could stand improvement as they are not featured on a single pane of glass."
"The VMotion feature is not reliable enough to ensure a successful migration operation."
"The reporting of the backups could be better."
"I think reporting can always be improved."
"The HTML interface is a web application that does not offer all the features."
"Main area that could be improved is the pricing, to make it more competitive"
"Veritas NetBackup has some limitations and it would be a benefit if we had better documentation."
"I have been involved in upgrades. They have not been straightforward. Some of them have required us to make changes to our architecture and production environment."
"In the next release, I would like to have a better way to protect against ransomware attacks and a better way of logging issues where you don't have to enable the verbose logging to capture the problems."
"The solution is quite expensive."
