A stable solution with good duplication capabilities and fair pricing
The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement.  I've been using the solution for five years. The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any problems over the past five years of use. Scalability is fine. We keep adding different…
Wesam Qashou - PeerSpot reviewer
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 features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"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."
"Deduplication is quite efficient. It is not a complex product. It is quite simple."
"The VM portal and the CloudCatalyst are two of the solution's most valuable features."
"Its most valuable features are flexibility and reliability."
"I am comfortable with using this product."
"We were able to witness the benefits of using the solution within weeks of using it."
"The reliability is valuable, especially for the appliance solution."
"I like that it's enterprise-capable. It can handle multiple operating systems. It can handle multiple database types. It can handle a lot of different backup use cases. It's flexible."
 

Cons

"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"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."
"The solution could have a more clear dashboard about the license and the operation status."
"NetBackup is a very old product, and it is based on Linux, which is not user-friendly."
"What needs to be improved in Veritas NetBackup is its interface, e.g. they should make it more user friendly. Scalability for this product could still be improved, particularly its hardware appliance scalability."
"The licensing costs could be more affordable."
"Technical support is somewhat slow and is in need of improvement."
"Endpoint backup capability is needed."
"The reporting of the backups could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The program is quite expensive."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"Pricing is good, under our budget, and flexible."
"Annual licensing fee."
"The solution is expensive."
"Price-wise, most of the backup products are similarly priced, and NetBackup is the same."
"This is an affordable solution"
"Veritas NetBackup is considerably cheaper than that of Druva, the former being quite affordable."
"The pricing, of course, can always be better."
"Smaller virtualized environments will want to stick to a traditional licensing model if possible. It will likely be cheaper, but it is a pain to manage all the individual licenses for each client."
