We performed a comparison between Barracuda Intronis Backup and Veritas NetBackup Appliance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."
"Its interface is intuitive, and it is easy to use when I am restoring files. Barracuda does a really excellent job at compression, which makes it very efficient. Eight years later, I am only halfway through to the capacity, which is very good."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"They are the best support that we have had so far. When you contact or email them, they are very quick to respond. They always have someone available for us. That's what we want as a customer, we want someone to listen to us."
"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."
"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"It is very reliable, so we don't have any issues with it. Our customers have never raised any issue with it. Basically, once you set it up and it is running, it is trouble-free. Our customers are happy. They just got a renewal for the subscription for the service."
"This is a good backup interconversion solution because all the masters and the targets backups are on the same system. It is easy to administrate for a single point of access for clients."
"It has a lot of very good features. The virtual tape library (VTL) feature is most valuable. Overall, it is easy to use."
"The solution is very stable...The solution is very scalable."
"If you use the NetBackup Appliance you do not need to have separate media servers and hardware. You can configure the same storage as a media server and master server as well as a storage port. This helps to reduce the hardware costs of the media server."
"I personally find Veritas NetBackup Applicance hassle-free."
"The policy-based backup feature is very helpful."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is a total backup solution. We don't have to buy other applications to do it."
"The tool is easy to use, stable, and performs well, but it depends on the environment where it is deployed. It is leaning more toward huge enterprises where it is positioned. It needs to be as easy as others but addresses more complex requirements."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"Barracuda works great for smaller network environments, which are not that complex. It is hardware-based with a Linux core, which you don't have access to, and a lot of stuff happens on the back-end. Even from a troubleshooting perspective, it is a bit challenging."
"I would like to see a way to increase space."
"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."
"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."
"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."
"Feature-wise, it is quite good, but it is very costly. Its price has gone up quite significantly over the years, and that makes people like us look at alternatives."
"The scalability isn't great. Every time you want to add storage, you can't just add a little bit, you need to add a lot."
"The tool's pricing is expensive and could be lower."
"I would like to see a product that requires less expertise to manage it."
"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."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance can improve by having a more direct connection to the cloud. It should have the technology to be able to directly communicate with the cloud."
"NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower."
"They need to make the licensing more clear. They should give all of the licensing details for the portals and be more clear. I have accidentally purchased the incorrect license because it's not clear."
