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."Whenever you have a crash or your service is not working, you can just live-boot the machine and have your service up and running."
"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."
"The scalability of the product is fine."
"The cloud side of it is nice. Everything happens behind the scenes without you realizing it, which is nice. It doesn't interrupt usage. There is also the freedom and ease of use of the cloud portal, which you can use to manage your backup. One of the strong points of Barracuda is that you can go from zero to having your first backup running within 10 minutes. If you have access to admin accounts and everything else, it can happen in 10 minutes. The ability to go in and just restore a particular file without having to do a full restore is also very useful. You can just go in and pick the files that you need to restore, and the same is with email. You can just go in, find an email, and restore that email without having to do a full backup of all the data or a full restore of the data. I feel very safe because it is not just about the backup; it is about the protection of the data from outside threats. They have a lot of areas of ATP, that is, advanced threat protection. You don't see that much on the backup side. You see it more on the email side. In the email protection, you know it is there at the back. It moves the quarantine emails that come through into a sandbox area, and then you can choose in the sandbox. You can open up an email in the sandbox to make sure that if there is a virus, it can't harm you. You can also plan how often your backups run, such as every six hours or four hours. It is the same with email. They also have a great PhishLine package, which is phishing attack training. You can have the strongest and the best backup and security that you can, but the end user is always the weakest link. They send almost like testing emails to end users to help them identify and understand phishing emails and prevent user or phishing attacks. It is a very good package."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup Appliance is duplication and covers many applications."
"It is very capable of scaling and very good for heterogeneous environments."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is a total backup solution. We don't have to buy other applications to do it."
"I can confidently say that I have managed more than 30 or 50 appliances over different time periods, and yet I never had a single hardware failure."
"The policy-based backup feature is very helpful."
"NetBackup is based on really good architectural hardware, and Veritas has the best backup and replication technology in the world."
"The reporting is very good compared to other tools."
"I think the solution is very intuitive, effective, and easy to use."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"I would like to see a way to increase space."
"It is not always stable."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"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."
"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."
"This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale."
"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."
"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."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."
"The product should provide more AI and ML features."
"The upgrade process of the solution needs to be improved since it is extremely complicated, especially without the benefit of a support person who can guide one through it."
"NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower."
"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
"The hybrid model is not that efficient if we want to off-site data; it takes a lot of time to upload the data on a regular basis."
"Veritas NetBackup would benefit from better explained error codes."
