We performed a comparison between NetApp Cloud Backup and Veritas Backup Exec based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Scalability is very good."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"Recovery via Active Directory is painless and much easier than the complicated setup procedures of other products."
"Its reliability and the fact that we have all the skills that we need for Veritas Backup Exec are the most valuable."
"I like that Backup Exec integrates with Microsoft Exchange. We can retrieve backups from the email boxes."
"Once the solution is integrated with the Exchange, you just click Exchange to back up that file."
"The interface easy to use and it is compatible with most backup devices."
"One nice feature with Backup Exec is mainly that disaster can happen to any server and the disk image can be destroyed very easily. It's also easy to fully email the backup image and restore the server."
"The one thing for the last 12 months which has been very good for Veritas was the instance-based license. This means that you're able to license per instance, not only per physical server."
"Setting up Backup Exec is straightforward. It took less than two weeks to get it up and running. You need maybe two people at most if you have a Veritas-certified engineer."
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
"Better integration with non-Microsoft products would be an improvement."
"The backup is not robust enough when you have a lot of technology."
"Its scalability should be improved."
"Initial setup is a bit complex and needs some expertise for troubleshooting when something goes wrong."
"If you keep it for too long and the catalog gets really big, the application tends to move slowly."
"The solution lacked local support, which became an issue for us and our customers. They needed to have more presence on the ground."
"The console of Veritas Backup Exec is complex when compared to other software."
"The solution could improve by having better documentation."
