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.

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"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."
"The reporting is very good, with all of the details highlighted and very clear."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility."
"The tool's most valuable feature is backups."

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"Support for the solution needs improvement."
"Some of the hardware is out of support."
"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."
"DDBoost."
"In regards to protecting the physical servers with parameters, it's a long and difficult process."
"The backup operation interface is not as mature as those of Veritas's competitors and has room for improvement."
"The cost is expensive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"This is an affordable solution"
"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"If you have a complex environment with dozens of different servers and apps, I recommend you look for TB licensing."
"We are very satisfied with the price of this solution."
"Veritas NetBackup is considerably cheaper than that of Druva, the former being quite affordable."
"Veritas NetBackup's price could be a problem for small businesses."
"The price is okay."
