Veritas NetBackup Appliance Reviews

It has a lot of very good features. The virtual tape library (VTL) feature is most valuable. Overall, it is easy to use.

Feature-wise, it is quite good, but it is very costly. Its price has gone up quite significantly over the years, and that makes people like us look at alternatives.

I have been using this solution for more than 10 years.

Its stability is very good.

Its scalability is very good. We have installed it for hundreds of servers.

Their technical support is excellent.

It is quite easy. It is not super easy. We have a lot of different environments. Some of them are quite challenging, but the common environment is quite easy.

It is not good for small environments. It is good for huge and complex enterprise environments, and at the end of the day, you get an ROI. I don't recommend it for small environments because out of 50 features, you probably need only two or three features, but you have to pay for all the features. That's why it doesn't suit small environments. You see a return on investment in very complex, multi-platform environments. 

We pay annually. It is a huge figure for us.

It is probably among the top solutions. It has the most features that are there in the market, but its price is making us look at alternatives. We are looking at some of the other options, but we haven't explored many. We are open, and we are evaluating all of them.

I would rate it an eight out of 10.

We use Veritas NetBackup Appliance to backup virtual machines from VMware and Oracle Databases. 

The policy-based backup feature is very helpful. We don't really use many other features, but we're looking to use more.

The reporting feature can be improved. At the moment, we can't acquire the exact information we need from NetBackup. We're looking to improve it on the new system. If I were to look at it performance-wise or storage-wise, it's really complicated to see what's going on. I heard that there's an additional software for that problem, but I didn't really examine it.

We've been using Veritas NetBackup Appliance for about four years.

Veritas NetBackup Appliance is fairly stable. There were one or two errors in one backup, and we don't know what caused it. Overall, it's been a good experience.

Scalability is very good. 

I think they're helping us as much as possible, but they're just saying the problem is with our setup or maybe the internet, or something else. Those problems aren't with them. They say that it's with us, but we can't figure out the problem.

I would tell potential users that it's only worth it if they can use all the features.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Veritas NetBackup Appliance an eight.

We have heard from many of our customers that they are very satisfied with NetBackup. Also, our technical engineer is very satisfied with the options and with the flexibility of the system, as it can be integrated into many hardware and software technologies.

NetBackup is based on really good architectural hardware, and Veritas has the best backup and replication technology in the world.

The price needs to be improved because it is really expensive.

I have been working with Veritas NetBackup Appliance for approximately four years.

We have not had any problems with stability.

There are between 40 and 50 users.

The technical support is good. The team in Morocco are very professional and they help us every time, with no problem.  

I would also recommend using Nakivo because it is a competitive product. It handles replication well.

However, if the customer wants an appliance then I recommend Veritas because it is more stable and more efficient.

In summary, this is a good product but it is very expensive.

I would rate this solution a four out of ten.

We use Veritas NetBackup Appliance for backing up data for many environments, such as system backups.

This is a good backup interconversion solution because all the masters and the targets backups are on the same system. It is easy to administrate for a single point of access for clients. 

The solution could improve by providing more integration and security.

I have been using this solution for more than five years.

The solution is stable and performs well.

We have approximately five customers using this solution.

The technical support is good. They have been responsive.

The installation is easy and took approximately one week.

We did the implementation ourselves with two engineers and one project manager.

There is a license required for this solution.

I would recommend this solution.

I rate Veritas NetBackup Appliance an eight out of ten.

There are a lot of new features that operate to protect the data from ransomware attacks. They launched the Veritas/Appliances to protect our data. Veritas has been doing its job well.

I have used Veritas NetBackup Appliance within the last 12 months.

Veritas NetBackup Appliance is stable.

I have found Veritas NetBackup Appliance to be scalable.

They provide a good level of support.

The initial setup is straightforward.

This solution is expensive.

The main difference between Veritas Netbackup and NetBackup Appliance is the NetBackup Appliance provides the built-up system. They have one operating system and they have their own storage in the network of the appliances. We can use our external storage. For example, we can use our storage from Dell, IBM, any other vendor. These are the main differences, with Appliances, everything is in-built.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Veritas NetBackup Appliance an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case of this solution is for backup and visualization. We are customers of Veritas.

I like the fiber channel transport, and that the solution can make it a media server. It saves us a lot of resources, unlike other products which consume a lot of resources.

The price for Veritas is very high and I'd like to see that reduced. 

I've been using this solution for seven years. 

The solution is stable. 

This is a scalable solution. 

Technical support could be improved, the knowledge base is quite low and it's complicated to deal with them. 

The initial setup is very easy, it took around two hours. We used a Veritas consultant. We deal with the maintenance ourselves.

I would recommend this solution.

I rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

We use Veritas NetBackup Appliance to implement backup solutions.

It is easy to use and the performance is good.

I would like to see it integrate with SaaS, and with appliances in the cloud. It could be better integrated with other platforms.

I have been selling Veritas NetBackup Appliance for one year.

Veritas NetBackup Appliance is a stable solution.

Technical support is good.

I was not involved in the initial setup.

Our system engineers maintain this solution.

Licensing is priced per capacity. The licenses are purchased on appliances with the capacity they require.

License fees are paid yearly.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Veritas NetBackup Appliance a nine out of ten.
