Veritas NetBackup Reviews

Our primary use case for this solution is for doing backups mainly of our databases – Oracle, SQL, Sybase, DB2.

I think NetBackup has vast coverage, and I think that's why it's a great product. 

NetBackup is expensive and should be cheaper. That is why we are moving on to another solution. 

I have been using this solution for the last 10 to 15 years. 

This solution is scalable. 

NetBackup is scalable. 

I think the support is fine. We haven't had issues with it. 

The initial setup seemed straightforward. It took maybe a couple of hours. 

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. 

We use NetBackup primarily for backup and recovery. When you have some data, you need to back up that data. If there is any disruption or deletion or if there's a disaster, you can have your data back and restore it and use it.

The deduplication feature is useful. Deduplication and compression features are what I like about NetBackup.

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.

I would like to have a backup option for end-user devices. That means end-user devices like mobile devices, VDI solutions, desktops, laptops, etc. In this COVID time, most of us work from home, and end-user device backup is really important today.

I have been using Veritas NetBackup for almost 15 years.

No product is stable, but it hasn't been an issue. It's an old product and a mature product, and it hasn't been an issue. We have a customized offering created with the NetBackup and Pure Storage, and it's working well.

Scalability depends on the customer profile. Each product has its own unique selling points, and some customers prefer to use other software like Commvault. We have most of the virtual environment in Veeam because our customers prefer it. But NetBackup is equally good.

Technical support is good. If we find an issue, we get in touch with their support immediately.

The initial setup isn't complex; I would say that it's moderately easy to implement this solution. We need to have some machines. It's a resource-centric server. If we're using it for enterprises, we need some dedicated physical servers to install this, like master and media servers. It's not very simple, but it's not very complex. I found it in-between.

We provide full deployment services, managed services, support, and maintenance.

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.

Veritas NetBackup is suitable for medium to large enterprises. Backup Exec, a lighter version of NetBackup, is better suited for small businesses which are Windows-based or Linux-based,

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Veritas NetBackup a seven.

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.

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. 

NetBackup is used for backup in an enterprise environment. If you have VMware, Windows or Linux, and complicated database machines, like Power or Eonix, then NetBackup is appropriate for this kind of environment.

I like NetBackup's accelerator feature. You can take a full backup with incremental speed and integrate it with block tracking.

NetBackup's reporting features are a little poor. 

We've used NetBackup for nearly six years.

NetBackup is highly stable. 

I would give NetBackup a 10 out of 10 for scalability. 

I rate NetBackup nine out of 10. If you're implementing it, I wouldn't recommend installing the media server on a VMware environment. I would also suggest getting some limitations for a LAN-free backup.

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.

I primarily use the solution to back up vital aspects of our workload.

The backup aspect of the solution is the most valuable aspect of the solution.

The product is quite flexible. 

The product is stable and reliable. 

We would like the Java console to be updated. They need to redo the console so that it is no longer on Java. It's outdated. 

I've been using the solution for three years. I've used it for a while. 

I have found the solution to be stable for the most part. It's not buggy. I haven't dealt with glitches. it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable so far. 

I haven't really used technical support. I wouldn't be able to effectively comment on how their services are or if they are helpful if a client has an issue. 

I did not handle the initial setup. Therefore, I cannot speak to how easy or difficult the setup process is, or how long the deployment takes 

We're a Veritas partner. 

I use two versions of the solution: 8.3.0.1 and 9.1. We use it both on-premises and on the cloud. 

I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. I've been pretty satisfied with it overall.
