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.
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

"The time navigation is the most valuable feature."
"The troubleshooting is very good."
"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."
"I like NetBackup's anomaly detection and Linux storage features."
"The solution offers a lot of really great features that organizations can utilize and take advantage of."
"This is a complete solution, everything is under one console."
"I can rely on this product if I need a restore."
"Veritas NetBackup is a scalable solution."
"It's durable — we achieve what we expect from it."
 

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."
"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."
"The solution costs too much."
"Once the protection plan is created, we cannot pause or resume via the web administration page."
"NetBackup is expensive and should be cheaper. That is why we are moving on to another solution."
"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."
"I also think they could improve the reporting. They use a web-based software application OpsCenter for the reporting and I see that they haven't made any changes in years."
"We are facing a challenge regarding the support for Docker and Kubernetes features. We hope for the possibility of directly backing up Kubernetes and Docker images without the necessity of taking full virtual machine backups."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of a Sandbox feature like Veeam Sandbox."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing model for this solution is very powerful."
"When you compare NetBackup's software licensing system with Veeam's, which is simpler and based on instances (or how many physical machines or virtual machines you want to protect), NetBackup isn't that competitive for smaller scale companies. However, if you're running many large workloads, then NetBackup may be the better option."
"There is a license required for this solution and it is priced based upon the data used."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Pricing is pretty costly as compared to the other products but worth investing for the long term and high ROI."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"Veritas NetBackup's price could be a problem for small businesses."
"The licensing model is cost-prohibitive as you scale out."
