A scalable solution with Veeam and Vertias alliance
I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas.  The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability.  I have been using the product since seven years.  I would rate the product's stability a nine out of ten. I would rate the…
RifkanHasan - PeerSpot reviewer
A Flexible, scalable and high performance solution to protect data from edge to core to cloud
Our main challenge was deciding on the right capacity for expansion, but once we settled on two NAS servers with sixteen TB, things have been smooth. We haven’t faced major challenges, just the initial capacity decisions. We got good reviews from other partners before installing it. We haven’t had much hands-on experience since it’s under warranty and we rely on 24/7 support from the service provider. We handle any errors by monitoring and notifying the provider as needed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."
"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."
"The initial setup gets easier the more you do it."
"I think the solution is very intuitive, effective, and easy to use."
"Technical support has been great."
"It has a lot of very good features. The virtual tape library (VTL) feature is most valuable. Overall, it is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the Veritas NetBackup Appliance is the virtual machine backups."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup Appliance is duplication and covers many applications."
"The tool's most valuable feature is recovery."
"This is a good backup interconversion solution because all the masters and the targets backups are on the same system. It is easy to administrate for a single point of access for clients."
 

Cons

"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."
"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."
"I would like to see a product that requires less expertise to manage it."
"It's difficult to make a switch with the tool because the actual physical storage doesn't work with anything else."
"Veeam has a verification action, which is good."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower."
"They could simplify the process of installing, and provide more space for data during the process."
"The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration and security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I do not oversee this aspect, as pricing is contingent on factors such as volume, technical specifications, and the desired features. Consequently, I lack information on the pricing details and structure."
"Overall, Veritas is a good solution; the problem is the cost."
"The price of this solution is very high compared to other solutions."
"There is a license needed to use Veritas NetBackup Appliance and there are not any additional fees."
"We pay annually. It is a huge figure for us."
"Renewing subscriptions for appliance support is costly."
"The product is expensive and comes with a yearly license."
"The licensing costs for this solution are very high."
"The licenses are purchased on appliances with the capacity they require."
