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."
"I am comfortable with using this product."
"It has a very good user interface."
"It provides us with the versatility to back up everything we require which eliminates the need for a secondary backup solution."
"NetBackup is very easy for end-users."
"The most valuable features are the VMware VADP backups and the support for data domains."
"Veritas NetBackup provides good backup performance, and I can mount the snapshot without an installer."
"This product is flexible enough to allow for backing up data from physical machines, as well as from your cloud environment."
"We can easily expand the ability of the solution."
 

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."
"Technical support is somewhat slow and is in need of improvement."
"It's a little bit complex to manage."
"Veritas NetBackup has been in the backup and recovery market for quite a long time, but somehow, from my own observations and from feedback from end users, its user interface is lagging behind other comparable solutions such as Veeam."
"On the support side, I think Veritas needs to improve because the support is really lacking; otherwise, the product itself is a good product."
"We would like the Java console to be updated."
"The product needs to improve its GUI. It needs to make use of a web interface."
"The web interface is not modern."
"It's not a user-friendly solution. It's a little bit complicated. The UI is not very friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is fair."
"This is an affordable solution"
"If you want to have more scalability you have to purchase more licenses. The license is annually and there are a lot of different licensing depending on the number of terabytes needed. It is not based on per-user, core, or servers. You can backup anything you want using the purchased terabyte space."
"Veritas NetBackup is very expensive, and I think price is the main reason which some customers don't want to use this solution."
"The price of NetBackup is okay. I think it's a little bit expensive but manageable. It has a lot of features, and the backup is better than most applications, so I think the price is competitive."
"We are happy with the pricing that we have, but it's expensive."
"When we consider the quality and value of Veritas NetBackup, it is worth the cost."
"The price is okay."
