IT Admin at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Offers good time navigation features and we haven't had stability problems in the twelve years we've been using it
The initial setup was supposed to be complex, and a guy from Atempto went to our site and they did it with us together. So, in the end, it was quite clear and straightforward. The deployment took one day. From time to time, we require maintenance. Most things can be done also automatically. We prefer to do some manually like recycling virtual cartridges. Two people are required for maintenance. Two people use it daily. Time Navigator runs daily, for some backups, even more, three, four times a day, for critical stuff. But for intervention, we have two, three per week.

Unified backups have protected virtual machines and applications and optimize storage efficiency
Regarding automated disaster recovery, we have not used Veritas NetBackup automated disaster recovery because according to the RFP terms and conditions, we are not supposed to have automated failover or failback, as we are a government entity and cannot violate the rules of the RFP. My feedback about granular recovery in Veritas NetBackup is that we have been doing verifications of the backed-up data to restore from point to point and time to time, focusing on file level or database level. When it comes to integration with cloud services, we have not started because we are a government entity and are not allowed to store any data in the cloud at this time. From security concerns regarding what I would improve about Veritas NetBackup, I think you need to look into this because we found only one encryption option available, which is not that very strong. When I initiate a backup from my laptop or server to the appliance or the tape media using Veritas NetBackup, the encryption channels are not strong, and there are not many options available. Whatever is there is by default and not changeable. We cannot modify any encryption facilities, and security is a big concern nowadays, so you need to look into that. Regarding the functionality part of Veritas NetBackup, I think this encryption feature should be stronger and integrated from point to point, not just at specific levels. When I initiate a backup, all the communication channels involved should be encrypted until it reaches the endpoint, meaning from client to server, server to client, and client device.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The time navigation is the most valuable feature."
"If you need anything, it's written in, and if you have problems, a development engineer is quite fast to fix it."
"Veritas NetBackup has assisted our company in securing data, protecting data, and protecting our business."
"Technical support is very good."
"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."
"I like NetBackup's anomaly detection and Linux storage features."
"It is easy to use, and you can run it with all kinds of client software environments. It works well with the most popular software, file systems, and operating systems. It is very useful to us."
"It offers everything I need from a backup system."
"Good graphical user interface. It's easy to create policies and to do installs."
"If you are running on a legacy tape environment NetBackup is best."
 

Cons

"They are working on the improvement we're looking for. The web GUI is flash-based and in around one or two months, they will put everything on HTML5."
"It gets a lot of new features, but improvements in basic functionality are often sacrificed for a shiny new bullet point to put on sales presentations."
"I do not like the way we currently schedule backups. The solution must provide a different way to schedule backups."
"Some of the hardware is out of support."
"NetBackup is a little costlier compared to other products and backup PSC."
"From security concerns regarding what I would improve about Veritas NetBackup, I think you need to look into this because we found only one encryption option available, which is not that very strong."
"The SQL Server backup features are not up to date."
"We have issues reaching them during some hours, and we need to escalate through several levels to get a resolution. Sometimes tickets stay open for days."
"In my experience, the Veritas NetBackup installation is hard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Licensing fees are charged based on the number of CPU cores."
"My licensing model is based on capacity so as we grow, the price we pay increases and it becomes too expensive."
"Veritas Netbackup offers affordable licensing."
"Veritas NetBackup is more expensive than Cohesity and Rubrik, but it is comparable in price to Commvault, IBM, and Dell."
"If you have a complex environment with dozens of different servers and apps, I recommend you look for TB licensing."
"Pricing is pretty costly as compared to the other products but worth investing for the long term and high ROI."
"NetBackup is expensive. They need to work on the pricing side. I find it comparatively on the higher side when I compare the terabyte backup costs."
"If you have a source size of one terabyte then they will charge for a one terabyte license, although what is actually being stored is much less."
