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

"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"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 tool's most valuable feature is backups."
"It's durable — we achieve what we expect from it."
"Veritas NetBackup is a reliable, easy-to-use, and easy-to-deploy solution."
"AIR and duplication, overall management and troubleshooting."
"The backup and restoration are 100 percent guaranteed."
"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."
"Good graphical user interface. It's easy to create policies and to do installs."
"NetBackup is highly stable. We have more than 1,800 policies that run every day."
 

Cons

"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"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 technical team wasn't very helpful."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"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 need to improve their support. In the beginning, their engineers had trouble understanding the issue we were presenting. It took a lot of conversations for them to start troubleshooting the problem."
"Veritas NetBackup has been in the backup and recovery market for quite a long time, but somehow, from my own observations and from feedback from end users, its user interface is lagging behind other comparable solutions such as Veeam."
"Maybe they could add more cloud solutions."
"Veritas NetBackup has some limitations and it would be a benefit if we had better documentation."
"Veritas could simplify the firmware recovery in terms of the deployed. The process shouldn't be dependent on the agents. It should be completely agentless."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The ease of use needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"The program is quite expensive."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"A better price would make this product more competitive."
"The solution is expensive compared to other products."
"If you have a source size of one terabyte then they will charge for a one terabyte license, although what is actually being stored is much less."
"The software and license are very expensive."
"Pricing is good, under our budget, and flexible."
"Veritas NetBackup is very expensive, and I think price is the main reason which some customers don't want to use this solution."
"Its price is quite reasonable. The cost depends on the depreciation and the volume. It also depends on the infrastructure. If your infrastructure increases, you would need some more licenses."
"NetBackup is expensive. They need to work on the pricing side. I find it comparatively on the higher side when I compare the terabyte backup costs."
