Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu
We use Veeam Data to back up our VMware infrastructure Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance. The support team provides answers whenever we need them. It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with. The…

The appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment.
The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with.
Wesam Qashou - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"With regard to our operational requirements, Veeam is very good because it's so user-friendly."
"The solution is easy to use and have good performance."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The initial setup for a simple environment is very easy. We just do next, next, next, next for the installation. It can be complicated in a complicated environment. It can be simple for a simple environment. I enjoy installing it. It has a lot of features."
"Veeam ONE has proven to be a reliable tool not just for backups but also for general hypervisor management."
"The initial setup was not overly complex."
"The replication feature has proven to be the most valuable feature for us."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"I like the virtual server backup."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility."
"The most valuable feature is replication because, using NetBackup replication, we can have disaster recovery of the data we have."
"Disaster recovery primarily involves backup usage. We employ it for both backup and recovery purposes. The backup and recovery processes have been executed multiple times, even restoring data from backups created three to four years ago."
"The solution has been very good over the years at fine-tuning various aspects of the product so that it is continuously made better."
"The most valuable feature is that it is basically a replica of our SAND data. We archive the SAND data for recovery, if there is an issue on the fence."
"We have a file server and our data file server, everything. We use it for VM server backup, too."
"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."
 

Cons

"The initial setup can get complex."
"Even though the speed has improved over the years, I think that there are some instances where it still takes a while."
"I would like for them to develop the ability to fix the way it does backups. We can't pick a backup for one database. We have to do a backup on the whole Exchange VM. I'd like for them to change it to where we can do individual backups."
"My biggest issue with Veeam at the moment is how the backup reports are displayed. We use the SolarWinds integration to generate consolidated reports for monitoring purposes, but we aren't getting all the available data shown to us in the way that we want."
"They could include better automation features for migrating VMs without further configuration for the product."
"Granular-level backup is difficult."
"The improvement we would like to see is the option to scale Veeam Data up in smaller sections rather than large sections, which requires paying much more."
"Pricing can be improved."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"Within their product lineup, they need to consolidate down to one product. Veritas doesn't have one product that does everything. So, Veritas can do everything, but you basically need to run two products. I would like them to combine all the capabilities into one release."
"We had some issues with the hardware backup appliance."
"In terms of improvement, it's very difficult to make it work with multiple business units. Its security model is too constricted."
"I do not really like NetBackup as it is coming from a mix of other software packages."
"The solution is not that stable because it has to be monitored and administered every day. The stability could be improved."
"The interface should be improved."
"There may be a learning curve."
"Technical support is somewhat slow and is in need of improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"Veeam is quite expensive. There are no additional costs to the licensing fees. IBM Spectrum Protect is also expensive. They should improve its pricing. They raise the price every time there is an increase in the features of the product. They should think twice about that."
"The price is pretty cheap for our market."
"The cost is based on the number of core servers."
"The pricing structure for Veeam ONE has changed to what is now called the "VUL" or "Universal License". Previously, people mainly used socket licenses, but this has now changed. The new pricing structure was introduced last year."
"It's an extremely cost-effective solution."
"It is not expensive and I would rate it five out of ten."
"The price is quite competitive compared to other products in my region."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"The program is quite expensive."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"Veritas NetBackup's price could be a problem for small businesses."
"We are very satisfied with the price of this solution."
"Most people have felt this solution was somewhat expensive."
"Pricing is pretty costly as compared to the other products but worth investing for the long term and high ROI."
"Veritas NetBackup is very expensive, and I think price is the main reason which some customers don't want to use this solution."
"The licensing model for this solution is very powerful."
"The solution is expensive."
"Licensing fees are charged based on the number of CPU cores."
