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 our customers is the restore functionality."
"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."
"The main features of this solution are deduplication, compression, ease of use, simplistic user interface, and compatibility with all the backup service systems."
"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."
"There's a very nice central console for the administration of all of the instances."
"Deduplication is quite efficient. It is not a complex product. It is quite simple."
"The tool's most valuable feature is backups."
"Could be used for both of Physical and Virtual Environments."
"It saves time for the backup needs of our organization."
 

Cons

"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"Veritas NetBackup is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
"We would like the Java console to be updated."
"Netbackup can backup MySQL via Oracle policy, to be honest, this is not completely native support and this method has a few limitations. In fact, you can buy from Veritas (or Zmanda) clients for MySQL or PostgerSQL from Zmanda to backup MySQL or PostgreSQL on Linux."
"They currently have the Java concept and it should be less intensive and take less load."
"It would be better if it had a cloud integration feature. I would like to use a single product for the cloud instances and the on-premise instances. The price could also be better."
"The interface should be improved."
"There have been issues with performance and some features."
"It gets a lot of new features, but improvements in basic functionality are often sacrificed for a shiny new bullet point to put on sales presentations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is an expensive solution."
"If you have a complex environment with dozens of different servers and apps, I recommend you look for TB licensing."
"Licensing fees are charged based on the number of CPU cores."
"Pricing is pretty costly as compared to the other products but worth investing for the long term and high ROI."
"The software and license are very expensive."
"Veritas NetBackup is more expensive than other backup solutions like Dell Power Protect and Veeam Backup."
"Our license is capacity-based."
"Licensing was very expensive and did not scale well if needed to move between license models."
