Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
The storage backup is very efficient. This solution allows me to restore either the VM or the data, depending on what is needed. | The reporting is very good, with all of the details highlighted and very clear. Veritas NetBackup Automatic Image Replication and CloudCatalyst features allow me to replicate deduped backup images from one site to a remote site, as well as duplicating deduped images to the Cloud (i.e. AWS S3, etc.) We were evaluating other products and getting confused between Commvault and Veritas NetBackup. The one reason that we started with Veritas NetBackup is the pricing of the license. There's no other reason from a technical perspective or even operation or capability of the two software. The main reason we chose Veritas NetBackup was that in our use case it is more cost-effective. This is the best solution that I know of. It saves time for the backup needs of our organization. The most valuable feature is that it is basically a replica of our SAND data. We archive the SAND data for recovery, if there is an issue on the fence. It is essential. We can't do without it. Its most valuable features are flexibility and reliability. |
Cons | |
The support for Office365 backup is atrocious and is something that has to be improved. The user interface is a little bit confusing and it could be better. | This solution would benefit from a more friendly, web-based interface. This product would be improved with the inclusion of a Sandbox feature like Veeam Sandbox. Improvements can be made to the service by providing better and more competitive ratios on data backups. The functionality for backups is there with Veritas, but I would like to see them optimize and enhance this feature more. Endpoint backup capability is needed. The interface should be improved. I would advise not to use this tool. I think between the licensing issues and the older solution mentality it is not a great solution. Some of the hardware is out of support. It needs support for Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVMs). |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
The pricing of this solution is good, and it is one of the easiest things that you can sell Azure with. The pricing of this solution is ok, but I'm expecting that the price will decrease in the future. | We are very satisfied with the price of this solution. Veritas Netbackup offers affordable licensing. This is an affordable solution The licensing model is cost-prohibitive as you scale out. |
