Veritas NetBackup Reviews

I use it to back up servers, databases, files, and photos. 

I like the virtual server backup. 

Maybe they could add more cloud solutions.

I've been using NetBackup for more than 10 years.

It's very stable and very good.

It's easy to scale. 

Technical support is very good.

It's somewhat complex. It wasn't very easy but it's fixable. It takes about one or two hours to deploy.

I would give it a nine out of 10.

The application is used for backing up our complete infrastructure including Microsoft Exchange, Oracle EBS, local shared files and folders, and a couple of SQL servers.

The application is very complex and we failed at integration with most of the applications on Oracle Linux.

It has a long backup journey but fortunately, application awareness is very good starting from MS products, database, etc.

The application needs more flexibility and reliability should be the top priority of the enhancement.

It saves time for the backup needs of our organization. 

It is less bulky. 

The interface should be improved. 

It is fine.

I do not have experience with their tech support.

I have previous experience with Veeam and NetApp Backup. 

We looked at Veeam and Veritas NetBackup. 

We are integrators, and we sell this solution. I am in a sales position.

In most cases, Veritas NetBackup is for carriers or the banking sector; these are our primary customers.

It includes many features and has all of the features that other solutions have.

I think this is the best backup solution that we have. It is very good for the infrastructure.

We had some issues with the hardware backup appliance. Our main customer is the one that is experiencing these issues.

I have been working with Veritas NetBackup for five or six years.

We are working with the latest version.

Last year, we started to sell this version.

Veritas NetBackup is a stable solution.

My colleagues in the engineering department handle this area.

I don't have any information regarding the installation.

The licensing model for this solution is very powerful. The licenses are related to the number of years.

We are Veritas partners.

I would rate Veritas NetBackup an eight out of ten.

We use NetBackup to take a snapshot of our endpoint server. 

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. I also like how Veritas has simplified the GUIs. There are a lot of security features in place already around the connection as well as many intelligent policies and a pure understanding of the cloud policies, so it's direct compared to many others.

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. 

I have been using NetBackup for two years.

NetBackup is stable.

NetBackup is scalable.

NetBackup support isn't great, but it's not the worst, either.

Setting up NetBackup is easy, but the documentation is a bit complex. Veritas used to have consolidated documentation, so it was easy to navigate the documents. The implementation guidelines were contained in a single document, so you didn't need to switch between multiple documents. Configuration should be the clearest documentation.

The price of NetBackup is okay. I think it's a little bit expensive but manageable. It has a lot of features, and the backup is better than most applications, so I think the price is competitive.

I rate NetBackup seven out of 10. 

We use it for the high workload environment. All critical backups are covered by Veritas NetBackup. 

It is a good solution. It covers most of the applications.

Its integration with Nutanix and technical support can be improved.

I have been working with this solution for 15 years. 

It is mostly good. We have BCM, so we have no issues with that. Sometimes, there is a delay in getting support due to resources.

Based on my experience of using enterprise-grade backup solutions for a long time, easy management and deployment generally don't happen for enterprises. You generally can't scale an enterprise-grade solution. You usually combine different solutions. 

When we create a full solution, there is some complexity in installation management. In the end, we are able to get features, such as easy management and combined centralized management, with Veritas.

Pricing is good, under our budget, and flexible.

I would rate Veritas NetBackup an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for the full and incremental backup of databases such as Sybase.

We have an issue with the last version on the latest backup of the solution. It's not compatible with Sybase 16.5. 

Two days ago the solution worked fine and we were able to use it for all our Unix and Sybase servers, as well as the back-end database. But, now there is a need for us to change the lag about a report in respect of the media on Facebook. 

We primarily use Unix servers, not those of Windows. 

I have been using Veritas NetBackup for ten years, since 2010. 

The solution is stable.

In the past we worked with Veeam and Avamar, at which point we made a determination of which solution would best serve our projects. 

The initial setup was complex.

The price is okay.

I rate Veritas NetBackup as a seven out of ten. 

Restores individual emails simply for users when requested.
Catalog is user-friendly, and finds all important information about any media needed for a restore request.

• Wide systems could be backup/restored; multiple databases, Granular restore capabilities for individual MS-Exchange Emails and normal folders/files
• NDMP backup capability for NAS storage
• Virtual environment backup/restore capabilities
• OST backup capabilities
• Could be used for both of Physical and Virtual Environments.

The ability to use different disk appliance brands as Pure Disk (not OST), such as EMC Data Domain .

No, it is so stable.

No, it scales efficiently.

8 out of 10.

EMC Networker (Legato).

Setup of FC (Fiber) backup is complex.

It is suitable for an enterprise solution.

IBM Tivoli, EMC Data Networker (Legato).

Backup using Fiber Optical connections.
Use Veritas Disk Appliance for deduplication and other valuable benefits.
