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."Backup/archive to multiple locations."
"Iinstant recovery (allows a spin-up of your image as a VM on the appliance)."
"The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks."
"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside."
"Replication to Forever Cloud."
"It is fairly stable."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"The tool provides recovery. The support for their legacy software is very good."
"The main features of this solution are deduplication, compression, ease of use, simplistic user interface, and compatibility with all the backup service systems."
"The solution offers the hardware and the software at the same time."
"It supports multiple, heterogeneous platforms."
"It's a good product, it does what we want it to do."
"Veritas NetBackup is a reliable, easy-to-use, and easy-to-deploy solution."
"I think the support is fine. We haven't had issues with it."
"Veritas NetBackup is a scalable solution."
"Unitrends can be challenging to scale."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"No appliance update notifications."
"The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
"Network-based storage stability could be improved."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
"Comparing the features and the working pattern, definitely they have to come down on pricing if they want to compete in the market."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
"We faced so many backup configuration issues. And from the Veritas side, they couldn't fix that issue. So we started from scratch, purchased everything, and then we configured everything. Therefore, the support could be better."
"The cost is expensive."
"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 do not really like NetBackup as it is coming from a mix of other software packages."
"Endpoint backup capability is needed."
"The product is not able to keep up with other competitors in the market."
"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."
"It was very complicated, and it required a lot of work in terms of management. We have moved to Rubrik. One of the reasons for getting rid of Veritas NetBackup was the fact that at one point, we had the support staff with 12 to 15 people to manage Veritas NetBackup, whereas, with Rubrik, I'm the only one managing Rubrik. There is one more person who works with me mostly due to the fact that in case I'm not around, someone else knows what to do, but I'm the only one who is a full-time manager of Rubrik. The complexity of Veritas required a large staff to manage it. We had daily issues that had to be looked into and resolved. A lot of these issues revolved around Veritas' handling of VMware, which is why first we moved VMware off Veritas. After we did that, we were also able to reduce our staff count. Their licensing is a disaster. It is extremely complicated. In most cases, Veritas themselves can't understand their own licensing."
