We performed a comparison between Veritas NetBackup Appliance and Zerto based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The policy-based backup feature is very helpful."
"It is very capable of scaling and very good for heterogeneous environments."
"We rarely need their help. I would give their technical support an 8.5 out of ten. We are satisfied."
"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."
"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."
"It’s quite scalable."
"The most valuable feature involves VMware Instant Recovery, which allows one to do restoration within seconds."
"NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is the duplication encryption standard feature."
"Its ease of use and scalability are valuable."
"It is incredibly granular and I really appreciate that."
"The most valuable for us and for my company is that we are replicating most of our production customers to the DR site, and we can do testing whenever we want."
"Our RPOs and RTOs are now more in line with our other critical systems."
"This product is impressively easy to use. It's dummy-proof, once it's set up."
"Stable disaster recovery solution with a very simple setup and fast failover."
"The low RPO times of about four to eight seconds are very nice and very valuable to us."
"Zerto is very good at providing continuous data protection. For replication purposes, it's definitely better than Veeam. Veeam doesn't do as good a job as Zerto does when it comes to replication. The other alternative would be to just have backups somewhere. But even with backups, you lose a lot of time because you have to set it all up. With Zerto, you failover, you just click a couple of buttons and you run from the other location."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"The technical support services could be better."
"I would like to see a product that requires less expertise to manage it."
"The tool's pricing is expensive and could be lower."
"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."
"NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower."
"This solution has to have better integration with the cloud, as well as with other solutions such as Business Intelligence products."
"There should be an automatic installation in a cluster. When I add a virtual client or ESX source to the cluster, it should automatically install that. There should be automatic installation. Currently, I have to do that manually."
"Certain areas were designed and work fine for VMware but are under development for Hyper-V. Eventually, all features will work for both platforms."
"It would also be nice if they could find a way to make it where one VM does not impact the entire journal history of the VPG."
"I don't have any input for improvement or a critical feature request at this moment. If anything, a lower price is always better."
"I would like Zerto to enhance the continuous backup aspect."
"It took me a little bit of time to get used to Zerto's terminology and to relate it back to how you do a backup traditionally. It was a little different. It took a little while to understand what a VPG is and what it does. That's an area that they could probably improve on a little, making the documentation easier to understand."
"For special situations, there are options within advanced settings. You don't have to dig too far for them, but they're not quite as straightforward."
"We have had issues with licensing, where the license we've been given by Zerto support doesn't include VSS replication, which was a pain at the time."
