We performed a comparison between Veeam Backup & Replication and Veritas NetBackup Appliance 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 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."
"The solution is a user-friendly interface."
"The backup and replication features are most valuable."
"Simple and stable."
"Veeam Cloud Connect has helped us to reduce the cost of cloud storage for an offsite solution using their archive storage feature."
"While I do not recall whether the latest version is 10.0 or 11.0 I do know that it allows one to make a back up repository that is very scalable and simple."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The product’s configuration and settings are very easy."
"NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is the duplication encryption standard feature."
"It has a lot of very good features. The virtual tape library (VTL) feature is most valuable. Overall, it is easy to use."
"The product enables me to recover the information of the appliances in the organization."
"The most valuable feature involves VMware Instant Recovery, which allows one to do restoration within seconds."
"There are a lot of new features that operate to protect the data from ransomware attacks. They launched the Veritas/Appliances to protect our data. Veritas has been doing its job well."
"The solution has a very easy-to-navigate user interface."
"The solution is useful for backups."
"It’s quite scalable."
"Veeam Backup & Replication could improve by making it more user-friendly."
"Veeam Backup Replication has agents for Linux, but they are not supporting Cluster Shared Volumes. It would be great to have agents for Linux be cluster-aware, just like the Windows agents. That's the main pain point. In addition, we should be able to handle the automation of Oracle backups from the backup server. We should be able to schedule, control, and deploy them from the backup server rather than relying on scripts and/or the system you are backing up to perform the backup. Currently, we install the plug-in inside Oracle VMs and then use crontabs to handle the task schedule on each machine for scheduling the backups. Veeam Backup Replication should also support the automation of Nutanix backups from the backup server, not from the proxy. The other not so major thing is that they don't support legacy systems because Veeam is a new company. It is not as old as other companies. They don't support physical workloads that are really old, which a major challenge, but they do have a point. Legacy systems should be virtualized, and if they're virtualized, then the backup is not an issue with Veeam, but some customers like the physical setup, and they don't want to have it virtual."
"There should be better use of the external hard drives."
"When you want to restore files, you first need to restore the machine, and then you have to mount it, and then restore the files."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Backup speed should be increased, and there should be more functionality."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"We struggled to stabilize the application. We had an incident which resulted in a loss of data and have terminated this solution due to lack of support from the Veeam team."
"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 challenge arose due to a space issue. The issue was related to disk breaks, especially when power cuts occurred. One of the disks would break, leading to a loss of functionality."
"The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk."
"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
"It is not easy because I have worked a lot on the tool, and in case it gets corrupted at any point, it is not easy to restore the data without losing information is not easy."
"Veritas NetBackup would benefit from better explained error codes."
"It's an expensive solution."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."
