We performed a comparison between DD Boost and Veritas NetBackup Appliance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The functionality is very good. DD Boost and DD entry replication are used in almost all backup concepts. Those are the most used features."
"It cuts down network traffic, and only the relevant parts move around because it is deduced and encrypted."
"Overall, scalability is great."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is deduplication."
"Scalable and stable solution for backup purposes, with good encryption and huge data conversion features."
"The time taken for backup is very fast."
"It's a stable solution."
"The solution is very good because it is easy to use and it speeds up the backup and lowers the requirement for the storage rate. It is capable of encryption, compression, and deduplication and it is fast for sending all of the data over the network because it sends only the change blocks from the client to the DD server."
"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."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is information backup."
"It has been our go-to product for backup."
"NetBackup is based on really good architectural hardware, and Veritas has the best backup and replication technology in the world."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is a total backup solution. We don't have to buy other applications to do it."
"They are a large company with good best practices, and they give good support."
"I think the solution is very intuitive, effective, and easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface."
"My customer was interested in ransomware protection. Currently, Dell offers the Cyber Vault solution, which is separate from Data Domain. Ideally, ransomware protection would be integrated directly within DD Boost, without requiring an additional out-of-the-box solution. This feature is currently available with HPE's Zerto and Huawei's Ocean Protect with third-party products like PradoNet. While Cyber Vault exists as a separate solution from Data Domain, having some standard protection for immutable backups into DD Boost would be a valuable addition and make it more competitive with other vendors."
"The solution needs a better gateway between the on-premises and cloud deployment models. We have to work around it or find a third party to assist."
"DD Boost's technical support could be better."
"The solution could always be cheaper."
"The solution needs to be more user-friendly for the end-users."
"Connectivity with the cloud and on-premises needs improved gateways."
"DD Boost is a bit expensive."
"The multi-tier functionality can be improved, but it is quite good. They could improve replication and perhaps support additional sharing network protocols. I would also like to see better implementation of NFS Version 3, but it is already implemented and quite usable as it is."
"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
"Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement."
"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."
"I would like to see a product that requires less expertise to manage it."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product must improve its recovery features."
