We performed a comparison between NetApp Cloud Backup and Veritas Backup Exec 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."One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"Scalability is very good."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"Veritas is simple and easy to deploy. In terms of the presentation and UI, they do their job well."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The dashboard was good. I loved to see the maintenance dashboard every time I logged on. That was my first screen because it always gave me a reminder of how many days before my next renewal."
"The most valuable features of Veritas Backup Exec are the easy-to-use intuitive GUI. It is very easy to understand. I have never lost data and I have been able to recover all the data I need."
"Recovery via Active Directory is painless and much easier than the complicated setup procedures of other products."
"It's quite stable, and so far, we have had no technical issues with Veritas Backup Exec."

"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
"The reports could be made in an easier way."
"Doesn't include disaster recovery."
"They could include backup functionality for enterprise environments."
"Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions."
"The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful."
"It could be improved in the area of reporting and ease-of-use."
"I would like to be able to create a restore task that can be scheduled so that the same restore action will be performed automatically."
