"It is a good product, in regards to performance, as well as data protection."
"Veeam replication gives migration tools/options for VMware."
"The replication feature has proven to be the most valuable feature for us."
"Its performance is fine. It supports us very well. It is able to support our policy for RTO, RPO, and other things that we need."
"The features I find most valuable are probably the VMware snapshot backups and the Veeam replication. Their replication is very good. It can easily be used for disaster recovery in a number of situations."
"The solution can work for companies no matter the size or scope."
"The most valuable features I have found to be Instant Recovery, quick restore and rollback, and asynchronous copy. It is a complete solution for our needs."
"Replication is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of cloud integration is the ability to send data outside of your location. This can be achieved by integrating cloud tier options or other object storage solutions."
"The most valuable features are the VMware VADP backups and the support for data domains."
"The backup and restore features are helpful."
"I think the support is fine. We haven't had issues with it."
"The features are good."
"The solution offers a lot of really great features that organizations can utilize and take advantage of."
"DLO: Client for laptops."
"We have an issue with the last version on the latest backup of the solution as it is not compatible with Sybase 16.5."
"The solution requires a lot of bandwidth."
"There's a situation where VMs run on different locks. It's running on the VM while having a relationship with nearby solutions running on the same server and storage. This creates a bottleneck that needs to be eliminated."
"Could offer a better conclusion of the backups."
"When in a domain, the virus can easily attack the Veeam server, something which happened to us."
"They can improve the features and Veeam Enterprise Manager. The interface and features are kind of limited. It would be good if they can provide more features and a better interface. For example, if I want to provide certain users with the privilege to back up and restore and do day-to-day tasks, I cannot do it in the current version. It is like you either give everything to everyone or no user can have access to anything. In version 9, a lot of features were missing, and it wasn't clear. Version 10 is easier from the communication perspective, and the disk backup option is very clear."
"They fixed everything that I was hoping for. It is pretty good. There were a few things in 9.x that I was wishing for, and they came true in version 10. We were looking for retention without having to make a copy job. We're getting ready to migrate m365 to the cloud. I haven't dived into it to make sure, but I wish the m365 backup would integrate into the current console so that we don't have to use two different consoles."
"The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper."
"The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate."
"Licensing costs are quite high."
"Updates were not always consistent."
"Veritas NetBackup has been in the backup and recovery market for quite a long time, but somehow, from my own observations and from feedback from end users, its user interface is lagging behind other comparable solutions such as Veeam."
"The deployment time is longer than it is with other products."
"The virtual environment, cloud integration, copy data management features need improvement."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"NetBackup is a very old product, and it is based on Linux, which is not user-friendly."
"Within their product lineup, they need to consolidate down to one product. Veritas doesn't have one product that does everything. So, Veritas can do everything, but you basically need to run two products. I would like them to combine all the capabilities into one release."
