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 search functionality is second to none as the speed of the search is fast across the whole system and predictive."
"Product support team is excellent, with issues typically being resolved on the same day."
"What I like about Rubrik is that you can back up to the cloud. It is a different kind of backup where you're not archiving the tape. Rubrik is a physical appliance. It is a dedicated appliance to which you can back up, and you can also back up to another device. So, you can back up to Rubrik and then to another device. If you have more than one site, you can set up Rubrik on site A and also on site B. You can back up to the Rubrik on site A and then replicate that data to the Rubrik on site B."
"Instant recovery of virtual machines allows for the restoration of services in minutes."
"The tech support is extremely helpful."
"The system is able to determine when it is the best time to do backups. This is SLA-driven, and if it is not possible to maintain this SLA, the system will tell you too."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"We rarely need their help. I would give their technical support an 8.5 out of ten. We are satisfied."
"It’s quite scalable."
"NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is the duplication encryption standard feature."
"The reporting is very good compared to other tools."
"We find the pricing is reasonable."
"The solution uses minimal resources."
"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."
"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."
"It is not Windows Cluster-Aware at the moment or Exchange DAG-Aware. If they add support for these particular use cases, it would be even better."
"It needs to support more applications natively, like MySQL/MariaDB."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"It would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit."
"The deployment and configuration of the backup service is something that could be streamlined a little bit, particularly when you're trying to do a SQL workload. You have to install a backup service on the server. You only have to do it once and then you're done, but you have to do that on every server that you want to protect."
"Lacks availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment."
"The Office 365 protection could be improved."
"We had some problems with the backup of the physical server."
"Veritas NetBackup would benefit from better explained error codes."
"With technical support, it feels like they aren't well trained and it takes forever to get answers out of them."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance needs to improve its security. It needs to ensure that it is 100 percent protected against cyberattacks."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve by having a site recovery feature."
"The NetBackup software is based on Red Hat Linux, but we should have multiple software options for that. We should have more OS options. Also, there are too many tools and intermediaries. Everything should be built into an all-in-one solution."
"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment."
"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."
