Reliable, centralizes everything, and easily adjusts to future needs
We can easily expand the ability of the solution. It's great that we can have a backup for the server architecture. It works with various solutions, including VMware, SolarWinds, and all the OS you can imagine. The solution centralizes everything. I can do everything from one pane of glass. If we want to, we can work with tape and make libraries for offline backups. We can do off-site backups and work with cloud services as well. This is a solution you can rely on. You are sure when you have a backup. When you need to restore, it's always successful. There are no inconsistency issues. It easily adjusts to your future needs. If you want to, you can easily change your license. You don't need to change your backup solution. It's also easy to add features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"The tool's information transfer and patching up is easy. The solution offers protection from ransomware which is also a valuable feature."
"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."
"Veritas NetBackup is a scalable solution."
"The deduplication feature is useful. Deduplication and compression features are what I like about NetBackup."
"What I like most is it is a professional product. It supports all kinds of technologies, and I consider it one of the best backup products available."
"The most valuable feature is its stability."
"I can rely on this product if I need a restore."
"The Replication Director, Auto Image Replication, Accelerator, Oracle Intelligent Policy, synthetic and VADP backups are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"DDBoost."
"What needs to be improved in Veritas NetBackup is its interface, e.g. they should make it more user friendly. Scalability for this product could still be improved, particularly its hardware appliance scalability."
"I do not really like NetBackup as it is coming from a mix of other software packages."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The deployment time is longer than it is with other products."
"We faced so many backup configuration issues. And from the Veritas side, they couldn't fix that issue. So we started from scratch, purchased everything, and then we configured everything. Therefore, the support could be better."
"Extra features come with additional costs."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"A better price would make this product more competitive."
"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."
"The price of Veritas NetBackup is high, it should be reduced."
"The solution is expensive compared to other alternatives."
"We are happy with the pricing that we have, but it's expensive."
"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."
"We purchased a perpetual license and perform SMS renewals."
"The licensing fees are expensive."
