Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the cross-platform features."
"I have found it to be the simplest solution to the market. It gives us a complete end to end solution. We are using this solution, Veritas Appliance and another one for access archiving. It is convenient to have all the support from one vendor."
"Ease of installing, configuring, upgrading, and troubleshooting."
"NetBackup is highly stable. We have more than 1,800 policies that run every day."
"The client side deduplication reduces the backup window."
"This is the best solution that I know of."
"There's a very nice central console for the administration of all of the instances."
"The most valuable feature of cloud integration is the ability to send data outside of your location. This can be achieved by integrating cloud tier options or other object storage solutions."
"We rarely need their help. I would give their technical support an 8.5 out of ten. We are satisfied."
"It has been our go-to product for backup."
"The most valuable feature of the Veritas NetBackup Appliance is the virtual machine backups."
"The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface."
"The intelligent policies feature is used in order to protect the VMware infrastructure. One of the things that makes a big difference for our company is the usage of these intelligence policies. The system automatically provides extra protection for any VMware server application or service. From a backup administrator's point of view, this is what we call peace of mind. It reduces the workload and therefore reduces resources needed from the company."
"Installing this solution is very simple and takes perhaps five or ten minutes."
"The solution uses minimal resources."
"It is very capable of scaling and very good for heterogeneous environments."
"It is a very expensive solution. They should have a different scheme for selling it. They should also make it easy for us to switch from Solaris to Linux. We are having some trouble in migrating our actual catalog from Solaris to Linux."
"The deployment time is longer than it is with other products."
"The pricing is a bit of a concern. If could be lower."
"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."
"NetBackup is expensive and should be cheaper. That is why we are moving on to another solution."
"The speed of restoring data could be improved."
"NetBackup is a very old product, and it is based on Linux, which is not user-friendly."
"Improvements can be made to the service by providing better and more competitive ratios on data backups. The functionality for backups is there with Veritas, but I would like to see them optimize and enhance this feature more."
"The upgrade process of the solution needs to be improved since it is extremely complicated, especially without the benefit of a support person who can guide one through it."
"The only drawback for NetBackup, and of course for Veritas, is that they have stuck to the same environment and to the same UI - User Interface. This needs to be improved in future releases. It needs to be more dynamic."
"It's hard to get to the backups. There are too many tabs."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."
"With technical support, it feels like they aren't well trained and it takes forever to get answers out of them."
"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment."
