Comparison Results: Veeam Backup & Replication comes out on top in this comparison. According to its users, it is easier to set up and more user friendly than Veritas NetBackup.
"The peace of mind of the backup is very important. Incremental backups make it fast and easy to use. We can recover from any failures in case of any hardware failures or malware attacks. We can do a rollback and recover our services with a little downtime. We can rollback even in the case of unsuccessful updates."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"Its ease of use for restore is really good. For Exchange, the Exchange Active Directory is great."
"It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable."
"Vendor integration for many of the enterprise features have allowed for us to have greater performance from our storage vendors further improving on our commitments to protect our clients' data."
"The solution is very easy to deploy."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the new CDP features. It is very popular for my customer's needs."
"It's streamlined the backup and recovery for my customers in the sense that it has an easy management console that's easy to set up any type of instant recovery."
"The Replication Director, Auto Image Replication, Accelerator, Oracle Intelligent Policy, synthetic and VADP backups are the most valuable features."
"Its ability to cover a large spectrum of products and operating systems is invaluable. We evaluated other products but always found certain limitations like some products had only intel-based virtualization, while others had power servers."
"It is easy to use, and you can run it with all kinds of client software environments. It works well with the most popular software, file systems, and operating systems. It is very useful to us."
"Unauthorized people cannot log in and execute commands."
"It has been around for so long, and it is very in-depth. It has a solution for everything that you can cover."
"It was especially useful with the appliances we use on a daily basis."
"It is pretty stable. We have one dedicated technician that is taking care of all the data protect. Typically, we have an issue once a month, if that. Or once every two months."
"The most valuable feature is that it is basically a replica of our SAND data. We archive the SAND data for recovery, if there is an issue on the fence."
"Veeam needs to have more support for non-Windows systems and other databases. For example, I can do SQL with Veeam but not Informix or Oracle. This is unfortunate because we have many partners with Oracle systems and Informix databases, and Veeam does not yet have the agents we need for specific Oracle and UNIX operating systems."
"Lacks online training."
"The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved."
"I cannot recall coming across any features that were lacking."
"Additional executive summary reports for the entire infrastructure would be a nice to have."
"The endpoint protection console is not centralized."
"The price is an issue. If one has a large number of servers, say... 100-plus, and wishes to add more, an exhausted budget may hinder this ability."
"The solution needs more detailed reporting."
"It needs support for Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVMs)."
"NetBackup's reporting features are a little poor."
"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 interface should be improved."
"Support for the solution needs improvement."
"Veritas NetBackup is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
"The solution's technical support process should be improved."
"Technical support only gets back to us the following morning."
