JG
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."
"Great deduplication feature."
"The Replication Director, Auto Image Replication, Accelerator, Oracle Intelligent Policy, synthetic and VADP backups are the most valuable features."
"It is pretty stable. We have one dedicated technician that is taking care of all the data protect. Typically, we have an issue once a month, if that. Or once every two months."
"I have found the Media Server Deduplication tool, deployment policies, and agentless features to be the most valuable features."
"The solution is stable."
"This is a product that has been on the market for a while and they have mastered the backup process, especially when backing up to tape, for most environments."
"Veritas NetBackup has significantly streamlined our backup and recovery processes by providing a single pane of view across various environments."
"AIR and duplication, overall management and troubleshooting."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."
"It would be extremely helpful if the solution offered near-zero recovery time for SQL."
"When the customer is using SaaS applications like Office 365, the integration falls short and needs to be improved."
"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."
"The biggest additional features needed are more cloud capabilities and security from ransomware."
"The ability to use different disk appliance brands as Pure Disk (not OST), such as EMC Data Domain ."
"Some of the hardware is out of support."
"The flip side about NetBackup is that it is not policy-based."
"NetBackup's reporting features are a little poor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing is expensive, so it could be lower."
"Veritas Netbackup offers affordable licensing."
"Our primary complaint about this product is that it is too expensive."
"Veritas NetBackup is more expensive than other backup solutions like Dell Power Protect and Veeam Backup."
"If you have a source size of one terabyte then they will charge for a one terabyte license, although what is actually being stored is much less."
"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 license is capacity-based."
