Good policies related to data
I primarily use it for various policies related to data, such as data retention, data deletion, and archiving policies. All policies can be set using this system The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities. I would like to see more integration with different platforms,…

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 most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"There's a very nice central console for the administration of all of the instances."
"They are among the top in the world for backup and recovery."
"The Dedup and file storage is great."
"Unauthorized people cannot log in and execute commands."
"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."
"Great deduplication feature."
"I can rely on this product if I need a restore."
"I like the cross-platform features."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"The solution could improve by having a feature to backup iSeries workloads."
"The biggest additional features needed are more cloud capabilities and security from ransomware."
"Setup implementation."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Its integration with Nutanix and technical support can be improved."
"Extra features come with additional costs."
"There could be granular control over metadata components, specifically in the context of JSON data for the product."
"Veritas NetBackup has been in the backup and recovery market for quite a long time, but somehow, from my own observations and from feedback from end users, its user interface is lagging behind other comparable solutions such as Veeam."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing, of course, can always be better."
"Veritas NetBackup is considerably cheaper than that of Druva, the former being quite affordable."
"A better price would make this product more competitive."
"Pricing is good, under our budget, and flexible."
"Price-wise, most of the backup products are similarly priced, and NetBackup is the same."
"We are happy with the pricing that we have, but it's expensive."
"Acceptable if you need to implement it for larger environments, e.g. over 1000 clients. For smaller setups it might be too expensive."
"If you want to have more scalability you have to purchase more licenses. The license is annually and there are a lot of different licensing depending on the number of terabytes needed. It is not based on per-user, core, or servers. You can backup anything you want using the purchased terabyte space."
