We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and Veritas NetBackup based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Azure Backup slightly nudges out Veritas NetBackup in this comparison. Azure Backup is a more straightforward solution to learn, use, and manage, and provides some impressive next-gen cloud capabilities. Veritas is very complex to learn and manage. Additionally, it is lacking in some basic cloud functionalities, which makes the solution seem a bit dated.
"It is a stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"It offers seamless integration."
"The product is very reliable and easy to use."
"The best aspect of the solution is its backup functionality."
"We are happy with this product and have not found any issues while using it."
"Setting up Azure Backup is straightforward and the total deployment time was about a month."
"Azure Backup is easy to configure and restore."
"With Azure Backup, you can readily make your environment if your setup somehow fails on the cloud or on-premises."
"We believe that everything Veritas NetBackup offers, including backups, snapshots, deduplication, and replication, is valuable."
"The feature that is most useful for us is that it backs up every application that we own."
"It's a good product, it does what we want it to do."
"I think the support is fine. We haven't had issues with it."
"The most valuable feature from Veritas NetBackup is the data is very easy to backup. It is similar to VMware. They recently introduced a cloud feature that is useful."
"The solution offers the hardware and the software at the same time."
"I think this is the best backup solution that we have. It is very good for the infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup is the protection policies or protection module."
"It would be beneficial to receive alert messages if something isn't configured correctly, for instance, if service principal names are missing, a message could prompt you to set them up."
"The compression ratio of the backup data should be improved."
"I would like to see better integration with more products, and more services."
"I once tried restoring a Linux environment, and the size of the Linux VM or the data disk was really huge. It took a really long time to restore the environment and send the data from the storage to the disk. It took around 25 to 30 minutes, which was much longer than I anticipated. They can improve the duration of such restore operations. In the next release, it would also be good if they could reduce the duration for transferring the data from their storage to the actual storage while creating a virtual machine. They can reduce the duration or increase the data transfer rate."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
"The product could improve its performance."
"Azure Backup must include features similar to enterprise solutions."
"It doesn't have the option to have a backup from the database. It has backup for the files, folders, and backup only the whole virtual machine. But if I need to do a backup from the Oracle database, from an Exchange server or from SharePoint, this ability isn't there. There is no application backup."
"They currently have the Java concept and it should be less intensive and take less load."
"NetBackup's reporting features are a little poor."
"The speed of restoring data could be improved."
"It should be able to integrate with the cloud. If we leverage a cloud in the future for backup, there should be very fast help and more options for customers to choose from."
"The database integration could be better."
"The solution is not that stable because it has to be monitored and administered every day. The stability could be improved."
"There may be a learning curve."
"There have been issues with performance and some features."
