Easy to recover deleted files, can mount snapshots without an installer, and provides high-performance
I would rate Veritas NetBackup ten out of ten. We are a team of three people who handle all the backups for our organization using Veritas NetBackup. We have two sites, the main one being NDR. We are backing up all critical systems, and uncritical systems are also rotated into the backup schedule. As a critical telecom company, we back up all billing and charging systems, as well as switches. We do file-based backups, but there are some systems that cannot integrate with any backup solution, such as Ericsson. For these systems, we dump the backup file and then take it to Veritas where we back up using a secret application to the appliance and NFS. For an enterprise company, two professionals are enough for the maintenance of Veritas NetBackup. I recommend Veritas NetBackup for enterprise companies. I have vast experience with backup solutions and Veritas NetBackup is the best solution out there.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"The backup and restore features work very well."
"Unauthorized people cannot log in and execute commands."
"Its most valuable features are flexibility and reliability."
"I have found the Media Server Deduplication tool, deployment policies, and agentless features to be the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is that you don't need any special connectivity - you just need to give your seller name, and then it automatically discovers all your virtual machines, which is a great benefit, especially in a bigger environment."
"Veritas NetBackup is very user-friendly and has some good quick recovery features."
"The most valuable features are the ability to create a trust relationship and historical reports."
"I like NetBackup's anomaly detection and Linux storage features."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"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."
"Its integration with Nutanix and technical support can be improved."
"I do not really like NetBackup as it is coming from a mix of other software packages."
"The cost is expensive."
"Extra features come with additional costs."
"Data restoration from Veritas NetBackup is quite slow. I would also like documentation that I can share with my technical team."
"System administrators would be more efficient in NetBackup if the number of tools and command lines was reduced."
"Veritas could simplify the firmware recovery in terms of the deployed. The process shouldn't be dependent on the agents. It should be completely agentless."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing, of course, can always be better."
"Pricing is good, under our budget, and flexible."

"Annual licensing fee."
"Veritas NetBackup is more expensive than Cohesity and Rubrik, but it is comparable in price to Commvault, IBM, and Dell."
"Our primary complaint about this product is that it is too expensive."
"Pricing is expensive, so it could be lower."
