Cloud-based solution enhances company backup but comes with high costs
We are using AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery for backup purposes in our company AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is convenient because it is cloud-based technology. The strong points are the stability and scalability of the solution, as well as the convenience of it being cloud-based. The cost of…

Covers a large spectrum of products and operating systems and part of a multi-layer strategy for data protection
We use it like any other backup solution for resource restoration when needed and for populating systems in environments with data. We use NetBackup's data management strategies for multi-target backups and retentions. That's the short answer. The full explanation is quite involved. It would require describing our environment, our workflows, and how we use policies and vaulting policies to move data around. But to keep it brief, NetBackup simplifies managing data across multiple targets with various retention periods. NetBackup is part of a multi-layer strategy. It's one of the many tools we use, to ensure we don't rely on a single product. So, the product has positively impacted our protection strategy. Moreover, we're satisfied with its performance when it comes to the deduplication function.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests.​"
"​The initial setup is really straightforward."
"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is a robust and reliable solution for disaster recovery needs."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests.​"
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"The backup and restoration are 100 percent guaranteed."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"It is important, when we chose a solution, that the customer service/technical support team could help us when we needed it, but the support was good."
"The tool's information transfer and patching up is easy. The solution offers protection from ransomware which is also a valuable feature."
"Its most valuable features are flexibility and reliability."
"The client side deduplication reduces the backup window."
"The most valuable feature of cloud integration is the ability to send data outside of your location. This can be achieved by integrating cloud tier options or other object storage solutions."
"DLO: Client for laptops."
 

Cons

"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. ​"
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"The reporting of the backups could be better."
"Support for the solution needs improvement."
"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."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of a Sandbox feature like Veeam Sandbox."
"Lacks a reporting feature."
"There may be a learning curve."
"The interface should be improved."
"Data restoration from Veritas NetBackup is quite slow. I would also like documentation that I can share with my technical team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Where the price adds up, there are CloudEndure licenses, then there is the AWS environment, and finally, there is the AWS storage, so cumulatively, it adds up."
"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."
"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"Veritas NetBackup is considerably cheaper than that of Druva, the former being quite affordable."
"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."
"In terms of cost, it's not very good."
"Smaller virtualized environments will want to stick to a traditional licensing model if possible. It will likely be cheaper, but it is a pain to manage all the individual licenses for each client."
"When we consider the quality and value of Veritas NetBackup, it is worth the cost."
"Our primary complaint about this product is that it is too expensive."
"A better price would make this product more competitive."
