"One thing we like about the product is that it's good and not as expensive as similar products. Right now, there are different ways to back up your information—you can back up directly to a disk or the cloud. It allows you to have various kinds of repositories."
"The solution just works consistently. I never have issues with it."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its back up and recovery. It is a simplified backup because you can do both databases - VM and HyperV. It's a faster backup than the conventional methods because it takes up the bare metal."
"It's a pretty complete product."
"The ability of instant VM recovery, which means starting the backup VM and getting it online while the recovery is still happening is the most valuable feature."
"Initially setting up the product is easy."
"A quick-working solution that is very user friendly."
"Very user-friendly and easily recoverable."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"What I like most is it is a professional product. It supports all kinds of technologies, and I consider it one of the best backup products available."
"Ease of installing, configuring, upgrading, and troubleshooting."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature as it reduces the backup time and provides backup of a single copy of data"
"Good graphical user interface. It's easy to create policies and to do installs."
"We can easily expand the ability of the solution."
"Veritas NetBackup Automatic Image Replication and CloudCatalyst features allow me to replicate deduped backup images from one site to a remote site, as well as duplicating deduped images to the Cloud (i.e. AWS S3, etc.)"
"It's a good product, it does what we want it to do."
"The implementation was straightforward. However, we used an integrator, the process could be easier for us to do it ourselves."
"My biggest issue with Veeam at the moment is how the backup reports are displayed. We use the SolarWinds integration to generate consolidated reports for monitoring purposes, but we aren't getting all the available data shown to us in the way that we want."
"The price could be lower."
"The endpoint protection console is not centralized."
"I only ever found one error. It was when we were doing a file copy job. After using it for ten minutes, it would slow down and cause a bottleneck error."
"I would prefer it if the backup console did not require use of a specified program but rather that it could be opened from any website."
"Its price is higher than other solutions and can be improved. They can also change the version of the software more often."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper."
"We had some issues with the hardware backup appliance."
"The restore tool is not friendly to newcomers."
"We are facing a challenge regarding the support for Docker and Kubernetes features. We hope for the possibility of directly backing up Kubernetes and Docker images without the necessity of taking full virtual machine backups."
"In the next release, I would like to have a better way to protect against ransomware attacks and a better way of logging issues where you don't have to enable the verbose logging to capture the problems."
"It would be better if it had a cloud integration feature. I would like to use a single product for the cloud instances and the on-premise instances. The price could also be better."
"There may be a learning curve."
"It would be helpful, in future releases, if the solution could add WORM (Write Once Read Many) support right within the product."
"NetBackup is expensive and should be cheaper. That is why we are moving on to another solution."
