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,…

Covers a large spectrum of products and operating systems and part of a multi-layer strategy for data protection
We use it like any other backup solution for resource restoration when needed and for populating systems in environments with data. We use NetBackup's data management strategies for multi-target backups and retentions. That's the short answer. The full explanation is quite involved. It would require describing our environment, our workflows, and how we use policies and vaulting policies to move data around. But to keep it brief, NetBackup simplifies managing data across multiple targets with various retention periods. NetBackup is part of a multi-layer strategy. It's one of the many tools we use, to ensure we don't rely on a single product. So, the product has positively impacted our protection strategy. Moreover, we're satisfied with its performance when it comes to the deduplication function.

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 solution is stable."
"The backup and restore features are helpful."
"The deduplication feature is useful. Deduplication and compression features are what I like about NetBackup."
"DLO: Client for laptops."
"Unauthorized people cannot log in and execute commands."
"We believe that everything Veritas NetBackup offers, including backups, snapshots, deduplication, and replication, is valuable."
"The backup and restore functions are very valuable aspects of the product."
"It is essential. We can't do without it."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"The solution's technical support process should be improved."
"It would be extremely helpful if the solution offered near-zero recovery time for SQL."
"The user interface could improve, it seems a bit out of date."
"There is room for improvement in the implementation of Power servers."
"I have been involved in upgrades. They have not been straightforward. Some of them have required us to make changes to our architecture and production environment."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of a Sandbox feature like Veeam Sandbox."
"Within their product lineup, they need to consolidate down to one product. Veritas doesn't have one product that does everything. So, Veritas can do everything, but you basically need to run two products. I would like them to combine all the capabilities into one release."
"The pricing is a bit of a concern. If could be lower."
