Veritas NetBackup Reviews

We use it for the daily backup.

It has a very good user interface.

It is a very expensive solution. They should have a different scheme for selling it. 

They should also make it easy for us to switch from Solaris to Linux. We are having some trouble in migrating our actual catalog from Solaris to Linux.

I have been using this solution for 13 years.

It has very good stability.

Its scalability is very good so far.

I never used their technical support. It has good documentation and information.

We switched because of the price and support.

The initial setup is easy. Deployment is quick, but some systems can have issues.

I used integrators. They were very good. I have two people for its maintenance.

It is very expensive. The licensing cost for this solution is on a yearly basis. It is approximately 50k. We will continue using it at least for the next year, but we are currently doing an analysis to switch to some other solution.

It is a mature and complete solution for backup. I would rate Veritas NetBackup a seven out of ten.

We are an SMB, but for our client, it is a life saver.

• TAR importing
• Scriptable scheduling
• Central catalog
• Local and remote backup
• DLO: Client for laptops
  

• Integration
• Setup implementation

There were no issues with stability.

There were no issues with scalability yet. However, our largest customer barely has 100 NBU clients.

On Veritas, the response time is good.

Our customers have used a very wide variety of options. However, almost all of them switched due to better handling time, straight line backup, recover windows, integration with BD, and better archiving options.

The initial setup varies from customer to customer. Most setups are straightforward, but they tend to be complex over time, due to adding DR sites, alternative media, and tuning backup times.

Personally, I'd tell them to make an inventory of what they want to backup, how often, and the size of backup and recovery windows. After that, we talk about how their requirements weigh in on the pricing/licensing. After that, then the real thing starts.

We evaluated several solutions, including free/open source options and we ran some trials.

Always leave room for more options.

Veritas NetBackup is a solution for system backups. They have recently integrated anti-ransomware.

Veritas NetBackup has some limitations and it would be a benefit if we had better documentation.

I have been using Veritas NetBackup for a few months.

Veritas NetBackup is a scalable solution.

The support has been good for Veritas NetBackup.

I have used Veritas Backup Exec previously. Veritas NetBackup is a far better solution.

The initial setup of Veritas NetBackup could be easier.

We had Veritas NetBackup do one of the installations in Algeria. We have good communications with the sales and technical teams.

We recommend this solution to a lot of customers. If they are using Veritas Backup Exec, I would advise them to upgrade to Veritas NetBackup.

I rate Veritas NetBackup a nine out of ten.

• Ease to use
• Friendly interface
• Logs are very easy to read, parse, and use for diagnostics.

Backup for over 10,000 jobs with a failure rate under 0.5%.

I am not interested in any features because I have worked with all of the backup solutions that are now available in the market.

The restore tool is not friendly to newcomers. It takes some of our storage and backup admin/support a long time to wrestle with it, but then they have enough knowledge to work even with NetBackup competitors.

We have encountered some issues when upgrading to 8.1 due to data which could not transfer in plain (non-encrypted over network). However, it has now been resolved.

Fully scalable.

Almost all issues can be resolved by experience admins, even though some really difficult problems have to be raise with vendors.

Our primary use case is for backups.

We are a reseller. We use Veeam for a virtualization platform and we use Veritas for enterprise backup.

The solution is deployed on-premise.

The most valuable features are the ability to create a trust relationship and historical reports.

The pricing could be improved, and the interface could be more intuitive.

Our company has been using Veritas NetBackup for 10 years.

It is stable.

The solution is scalable.

I haven't had any issues with technical support. It's okay.

Pricing is expensive, so it could be lower.

I would rate this solution 6 out of 10.

Easily integrated with Claude

Netbackup is useful for providing dedicated backup services.

From a technical point of view, all EMC products have to improve the troubleshoot feature like, log should be in human readable format.

Past 5 to 6 years.

Easy to deploy.

Wrong integration is always the

Not yet.

4.5/5

4/5

I used Sympana commvault and CA arc serve. Both the products are good for small organisations but not up to the mark for enterprise level.

Through vendor team; try to just know how to fix the hardware and plug the networker cable. Rest of the things we had to do remotely.

For enterprise level backup solution – No.
