Fast data recovery for large scale datasets
The Infiniguard (dedicated disc storage), offers a petabyte of storage space for on-site disc storage for backups. Because of this, we were able to get rid of our tapes. Essentially, it replaced our tape backups. We're definitely going to be buying another INFINIDAT array. We do have another location that is going to be needing a new array sometime soon, so we'll be buying another one. The beautiful thing about them is that you can set them up to replicate for disaster recovery between the two of them and set up some nice replication jobs, site to site, for automatic database replication.
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

"Essentially, it replaced our tape backups."
"It is a good solution. It covers most of the applications."
"I like NetBackup's anomaly detection and Linux storage features."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature from Veritas NetBackup is the data is very easy to backup. It is similar to VMware. They recently introduced a cloud feature that is useful."
"The main thing I like about NetBackup is CloudPoint. You can take a snapshot of the endpoint and back it up with CloudPoint. The data backups are the most important."
"I like NetBackup's accelerator feature. You can take a full backup with incremental speed and integrate it with block tracking."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"The backup and restore features work very well."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."
"The solution is not easy to use. You need to train yourself step by step because it is complex, but it is a good solution. Its pricing could be cheaper."
"Setup implementation."
"They currently have the Java concept and it should be less intensive and take less load."
"Extra features come with additional costs."
"Its integration with Nutanix and technical support can be improved."
"The solution must provide a different way to schedule backups."
"It would be extremely helpful if the solution offered near-zero recovery time for SQL."
"NetBackup's reporting features are a little poor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing, of course, can always be better."
"It is slightly more expensive than Commvault, but it is pretty much the same. It is an enterprise solution, so it scales quite well. It has a lot of features. So, you pay for what you get. It is not cheap, but it is fit for the purpose."
"Our primary complaint about this product is that it is too expensive."
"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."
"The licensing model for this solution is very powerful."
"So far I can only say that the license structure could be looked at to be aligned as either capacity-based or traditional."
"It is very expensive. The licensing cost for this solution is on a yearly basis. It is approximately 50k. We will continue using it at least for the next year, but we are currently doing an analysis to switch to some other solution."
"In terms of cost, it's not very good."
