"One of the most valuable features is the incremental backup. It is, of course, perfect because you have a lot of restore points, but you don't need all the space. The stability is also perfect."
"Provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred."
"Veeam's file monitoring capabilities are strong and consistent."
"The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication."
"Pricing is fairly reasonable and not overly expensive."
"The advantage of Veeam Backup and Replication is that it is very economical. The price is affordable and the cost benefit is good."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are efficient backup and replication. Additionally, Veeam Backup Replication supports all products and vendors."
"My customers find the backup and recovery ease of use is the most beneficial feature."
"It is pretty stable. We have one dedicated technician that is taking care of all the data protect. Typically, we have an issue once a month, if that. Or once every two months."
"The solution is stable."
"Veritas NetBackup is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature from Veritas NetBackup is the data is very easy to backup. It is similar to VMware. They recently introduced a cloud feature that is useful."
"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."
"Our customers who have faced ransomware attacks were able to recover their data in less than one day without any stress. Veritas is ransomware resilient and because of its implementation, it is not dependent on the operating system to work."
"The product is stable and reliable."
"The solution is stable."
"In the future, Veeam should release a hardware backup appliance that can be integrated with their software."
"The solution requires a lot of bandwidth."
"The initial setup of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward. The process took approximately two days. The setup could be streamlined to take less time."
"It would be useful if we could integrate our on-premise VM solution with the Azure workload backup from the existing console. This would assist our customers in reducing the cost of hardware."
"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."
"In terms of what could be improved, when creating a backup job with Veeam, you can create a daily backup, but it doesn't do it within that job. It does not give you the ability to also set the terms for monthly and/or weekly backups. It has to be a separate job. It gets clunky to manage the timeframes where you don't want a daily to run on this day and creating weeklies. And you don't want a daily to run on this day doing monthlies. That is hard to deal with. It would be really nice if you could do it through a single command line or a single interface."
"The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate."
"All our customers would like a cheaper license and more flexible deployment."
"I would like to have support enabled for cloud backups."
"Like the other enterprise solutions, Veritas NetBackup isn't easy to implement. It's a little bit hard compared to other solutions like Data Protector for HPE. You have to struggle to learn a lot of features that Veritas NetBackup offers to customers."
"The security and performance could improve with Veritas NetBackup. The security could be improved by protecting the data from attackers."
"The restoration method and the compression ratio need improvement."
"The flip side about NetBackup is that it is not policy-based."
"The product could improve the user-friendliness and comfort of its environment, especially for those unfamiliar with it."
"They need to work on the GUI. It has been the same for the last 10 years."
"We would like the Java console to be updated."
