We performed a comparison between Veeam Backup & Replication and Veritas NetBackup Appliance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable aspects are the latest features in version 12.1, which introduced enhanced security features."
"It is a good product, in regards to performance, as well as data protection."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"I enjoy the ability to quickly search for VMs through the Veeam console."
"The encryption password is used to protect the backup files. Even if someone gains access to the backup job or files, they won't be able to utilize them without the password."
"The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication."
"With Replication, Veeam allows us to have a duplicated VM on standby."
"We have evaluated other solutions but Veeam is the best for virtualization."
"The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface."
"We rarely need their help. I would give their technical support an 8.5 out of ten. We are satisfied."
"The reporting is very good compared to other tools."
"We find the pricing is reasonable."
"The solution uses minimal resources."
"The solution is useful for backups."
"The tool is easy to use, stable, and performs well, but it depends on the environment where it is deployed. It is leaning more toward huge enterprises where it is positioned. It needs to be as easy as others but addresses more complex requirements."
"The policy-based backup feature is very helpful."
"It needs to support more applications. In terms of supported applications, Oracle SQL and Office 365 are supported, but I am not sure if it supports Linux-based applications. That's why I'm looking for an alternative. I am currently testing Commvault. The advantage of Commvault is that a lot of applications are supported with it. I am not sure if CIFS is currently supported. It would be nice to have this feature in case it is not already supported"
"The parallel backup process from the Veeam server to Veeam has some limitations. The number of parallel backups should be increased and the compressional is very low. Sometimes it is half or one-third, but other backup solutions' compression levels are very high."
"Veeam Backup Replication is a bit difficult to use. If you have used other solutions such as Commvault, you will find it is much easier to use. Veeam Backup Replication does backups in a different way that is not as simple as other solutions. Doing backups of SQL Servers is much easier in Commvault. However, the difficulty could be the lack of experience I have had with Veeam Backup Replication."
"The VMotion feature is not reliable enough to ensure a successful migration operation."
"I would like to have them come up with more robust features when it comes to individual endpoint protection."
"The licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better."
"Device backup could be improved."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"They could improve the interface a bit."
"It's an expensive solution."
"I would like to see a product that requires less expertise to manage it."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"The NetBackup software is based on Red Hat Linux, but we should have multiple software options for that. We should have more OS options. Also, there are too many tools and intermediaries. Everything should be built into an all-in-one solution."
"The configuration can sometimes be tricky during implementation."
"The scalability isn't great. Every time you want to add storage, you can't just add a little bit, you need to add a lot."
"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."
