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."I am not a direct user of this product, but my technical guys tell me that they like the product, and it is easy to use. We don't have any issues with it."
"The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V."
"The technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"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."
"It lets you verify a backup with the least amount of effort."
"WAN Accelerator helps tremendously with replicating our data because we have a large chunk of data that gets replicated between our two facilities."
"It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable."
"It has been our go-to product for backup."
"The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface."
"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."
"The product enables me to recover the information of the appliances in the organization."
"The initial setup gets easier the more you do it."
"If you use the NetBackup Appliance you do not need to have separate media servers and hardware. You can configure the same storage as a media server and master server as well as a storage port. This helps to reduce the hardware costs of the media server."
"We can add multiple appliances to the product."
"The most valuable feature involves VMware Instant Recovery, which allows one to do restoration within seconds."
"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."
"It would be useful if we could integrate our on-premise VM solution with the Azure workload backup from the existing console. This would assist our customers in reducing the cost of hardware."
"Immutability could be improved."
"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."
"My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss."
"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."
"They need to focus more on cloud backup."
"The replication functionality only works for VMware environments. Veeam has a backup agent for AIX operating systems, and we will like to see the replication functionality available for the AIX operating system. Additionally, if the backup functionality for AIX to be included in the Veeam console would be an advantage."
"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."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve by having a site recovery feature."
"They could improve the interface a bit."
"The product must improve its recovery features."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance can improve by having a more direct connection to the cloud. It should have the technology to be able to directly communicate with the cloud."
"The tool's pricing is expensive and could be lower."
"They need to make the licensing more clear. They should give all of the licensing details for the portals and be more clear. I have accidentally purchased the incorrect license because it's not clear."
"I would like to see support for databases such as MySQL and MongoDB."
