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."At the moment, we use NetApp SnapMirror to replicate data to another filer at an offsite location for backup. So, I like this feature."
"The SnapMirror is a good tool because, as long as you're going NetApp to NetApp, it's ultimately the fastest way to move data. We replicate everything to another site for disaster recovery."
"The most valuable feature for us is the combining of HA and SnapMirror."
"The strong point is that our clients like this are RadLV (Radiology Low-Value). They also use SnapMirror and MetroCluster."
"Flexible and reliable storage solution with multiple features such as cloning, replication, and deduplication. Data migration can be done without any performance implications on the production systems."
"The solution is stable."
"Ability to use mirroring and SnapVault have made backup no longer necessary."
"Reliable storage solution with an easy setup. It has high availability and makes single file restoration easy. It also has good stability and scalability."
"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."
"Technical support has been great."
"NetBackup is based on really good architectural hardware, and Veritas has the best backup and replication technology in the world."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is information backup."
"The solution is very stable...The solution is very scalable."
"The solution has a very easy-to-navigate user interface."
"The tool's most valuable feature is recovery."
"They are a large company with good best practices, and they give good support."
"The one aspect of the solution that's negative for us is also more unique to us due to the fact that we did a MetroCluster. The tiebreaker piece that does the monitoring of the two different locations, and determines if one is not talking to the network normally (or if it's truly down) is a little difficult. It feels like it was not designed from the beginning to fit well into the other pieces. It feels like it was thrown in at the last minute and it is not smooth."
"Dedicated storage efficiency accelerators could improve the overall performance of the system."
"There is no NetApp infrastructure set up here in Greece."
"We no longer have OEM support in South Africa which is not helpful, it can be difficult. They should add an office back to the country because it was better."
"The product must support more drives."
"I would like to see less latency and higher IOPS."
"It may need more flexibility to fight with other competing arrays."
"There is room for improvement in deployment and configuration processes."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration and security."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"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."
"Sometimes, the user interface doesn't work smoothly."
"More licensing options could be introduced to the software. It is currently based on capacity only. Compared to competitors, it is difficult to position it economically everywhere. From the usability point of view, they are making many improvements on new interfaces, the SaaS offering, etc."
"The technical support services could be better."
"The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk."
"Veritas NetBackup would benefit from better explained error codes."
