Vijay Londhe - PeerSpot reviewer
Managed services with seamless integration and good reliability
Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status. I have to calculate whether my data is replicated to the Adarabad region or not. These features, if available in AWS, would be beneficial.
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 initial setup is really straightforward."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"Since it is a managed service, I reduce my time to manage infrastructure and applications."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"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."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests.​"
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"I am comfortable with using this product."
"Its ability to cover a large spectrum of products and operating systems is invaluable. We evaluated other products but always found certain limitations like some products had only intel-based virtualization, while others had power servers."
"The backup and restore features work very well."
"I think the support is fine. We haven't had issues with it."
"The VM portal and the CloudCatalyst are two of the solution's most valuable features."
"Specific features that I could not do without are SLPs for replication and duplication control and AIR which makes DR easy."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"It was especially useful with the appliances we use on a daily basis."
 

Cons

"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"In its current state, ECL integrates with CloudWatch for basic logging and monitoring, yet improvements could include more detailed logs for specific actions, like when I perform actions such as push or pull."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"An improved AWS pricing model is needed."
"NetBackup's reporting features are a little poor."
"The HTML interface is a web application that does not offer all the features."
"Extra features come with additional costs."
"Enhancing reporting across the board would be beneficial."
"It should be able to integrate with the cloud. If we leverage a cloud in the future for backup, there should be very fast help and more options for customers to choose from."
"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."
"Veritas NetBackup is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
"NetBackup is a very old product, and it is based on Linux, which is not user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is better now that they had come out with the Tier 2 which replicates a little less often. In comparison to what I would have been spending with any other type of solution, the pricing is fair."
"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
"The price of Veritas NetBackup is high, it should be reduced."
"Veritas Netbackup offers affordable licensing."
"The software and license are very expensive."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"It was on a yearly basis. During the annual review, when we asked them about our licensing, they couldn't explain it. For example, we had reduced by a factor of 40%, but our license only dropped by 5%. We would then ask Veritas people if we've reduced this much and shut down these servers, why has our license changed so less? They were never able to give us a straight answer. They weren't able to say, "Well, you're using this, and this is more expensive." In many cases, as we reduced our capacity and what we were using with Veritas NetBackup, our licensing actually went up, and they were often unable to explain why."
"The pricing, of course, can always be better."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution and it is priced based upon the data used."
