We performed a comparison between Quest NetVault and Veritas NetBackup 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."The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"The user interface is good."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."
"The solution is stable."
"It has a very good user interface."
"We can easily expand the ability of the solution."
"Deduplication is quite efficient. It is not a complex product. It is quite simple."
"It was especially useful with the appliances we use on a daily basis."
"I like that it's enterprise-capable. It can handle multiple operating systems. It can handle multiple database types. It can handle a lot of different backup use cases. It's flexible."
"The deduplication feature is useful. Deduplication and compression features are what I like about NetBackup."
"The backup and restoration are 100 percent guaranteed."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"The storage capacity is very low."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"Enhancing reporting across the board would be beneficial."
"We had some issues with the hardware backup appliance."
"Within their product lineup, they need to consolidate down to one product. Veritas doesn't have one product that does everything. So, Veritas can do everything, but you basically need to run two products. I would like them to combine all the capabilities into one release."
"We faced so many backup configuration issues. And from the Veritas side, they couldn't fix that issue. So we started from scratch, purchased everything, and then we configured everything. Therefore, the support could be better."
"The reporting of the backups could be better."
"The backup operation interface is not as mature as those of Veritas's competitors and has room for improvement."
"It's a little bit complex to manage."
"There may be a learning curve."
