We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and Veritas NetBackup based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Azure Backup slightly nudges out Veritas NetBackup in this comparison. Azure Backup is a more straightforward solution to learn, use, and manage, and provides some impressive next-gen cloud capabilities. Veritas is very complex to learn and manage. Additionally, it is lacking in some basic cloud functionalities, which makes the solution seem a bit dated.

"Includes snapshots and multiple database agents."
"The most valuable features are the ability to create a trust relationship and historical reports."

"We faced some issues synchronizing the information in Azure when the storage was changed."
"The monitoring and tagging features could be improved."
"The tool's backup should be faster. Azure Backup's support should be faster."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
"The solution is not that stable because it has to be monitored and administered every day. The stability could be improved."
"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."
"The database integration could be better."
"Endpoint backup capability is needed."
"Improvements can be made to the service by providing better and more competitive ratios on data backups. The functionality for backups is there with Veritas, but I would like to see them optimize and enhance this feature more."
