We performed a comparison between Veeam Backup & Replication and Veritas NetBackup based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Veeam Backup & Replication comes out on top in this comparison. According to its users, it is easier to set up and more user friendly than Veritas NetBackup.
"Veeam's file monitoring capabilities are strong and consistent."
"It is a stable product with useful snapshot and replication features."
"I think that the scalability is very good. We can't compare it."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"Replication is the most valuable feature."
"The WAN accelerator feature has been the most valuable for me. That feature reduced the time needed to complete the task from 25 days to less than a week! This is compared with the original tools used: ntbackup, robocopy and Windows Server Backup."
"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use, good integration with others solutions, such as Oracle ERP, and by using the UI you can create and achieve operations you want to do."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the recuperation of the weaker machines."
"I have found it to be the simplest solution to the market. It gives us a complete end to end solution. We are using this solution, Veritas Appliance and another one for access archiving. It is convenient to have all the support from one vendor."
"The most valuable feature of cloud integration is the ability to send data outside of your location. This can be achieved by integrating cloud tier options or other object storage solutions."
"I have found the Media Server Deduplication tool, deployment policies, and agentless features to be the most valuable features."
"Unauthorized people cannot log in and execute commands."
"I think this is the best backup solution that we have. It is very good for the infrastructure."
"Disaster recovery primarily involves backup usage. We employ it for both backup and recovery purposes. The backup and recovery processes have been executed multiple times, even restoring data from backups created three to four years ago."
"The documentation is good."
"It saves time for the backup needs of our organization."
"It could use DR features similar to Zerto."
"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."
"CDP also requires a lot of development, because there are a lot of restrictions now for CDP. There is a chance to improve CDP and make it much easier for the customers."
"In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included."
"think backing up from physical servers and ransomware security needs some improvements."
"The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved."
"They can improve the features and Veeam Enterprise Manager. The interface and features are kind of limited. It would be good if they can provide more features and a better interface. For example, if I want to provide certain users with the privilege to back up and restore and do day-to-day tasks, I cannot do it in the current version. It is like you either give everything to everyone or no user can have access to anything. In version 9, a lot of features were missing, and it wasn't clear. Version 10 is easier from the communication perspective, and the disk backup option is very clear."
"The product is missing some commonsense features and tools for an enterprise backup recovery product,"
"The product must enable data migration from on-premise to the cloud."
"The security and performance could improve with Veritas NetBackup. The security could be improved by protecting the data from attackers."
"The pricing could be improved, and the interface could be more intuitive."
"There is a big change in Veritas. In the past, we could easily change servers or appliances and continue working by restoring the catalog. We could change servers from Linux to Linux or Linux to Solaris and perform catalog restores to continue working. But with the new version, we are forced to engage Veritas' professional services, which is too expensive."
"There is room for improvement in the implementation of Power servers."
"Its integration with Nutanix and technical support can be improved."
"This solution would benefit from a more friendly, web-based interface."
"The most common problem is the backup failures over the weekend. We have to troubleshoot and sometimes do restores and then we have trouble doing some of the restores."
