We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud 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 most valuable feature is Commvault's coverage. It has wide coverage to back up every data center environment. The product can back up OpenStack, OpenShift, and competitive solutions don't have this feature. Commvault can handle backing up any virtual workload or enterprise application."
"One valuable feature is unlimited backup. You can back up existing users and folders."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."
"The cloud integration is a massive win for us, giving us a single backup service for all of our on-premise and cloud systems."
"We have multiple workloads, including SQL, Oracle, SAP HANA, especially Sybase, as well as file systems, VMs, and Exchange mailboxes. Commvault provides very good support for them."
"The compression and deduplication are great for optimizing bandwidth and speed. I don't have to worry about it or think about it, and, because it's a SaaS solution, I don't have to worry about the storage size."
"The most valuable feature is sharing data sets like they're in a private cloud. We call it our "private cloud" because we can share anything that is inside our backup set with our colleagues or with other people, and yet, everything is still in Belgrade, in Serbia. It's not somewhere else on cloud servers. Everything is in our environment."
"The features I find most helpful in Commvault are its ability to perform incremental backups and significantly reduce backup times for our diverse multi-architecture, multi-environment environment."
"Technical support has been great."
"The reporting is very good compared to other tools."
"The solution is very stable...The solution is very scalable."
"The tool is easy to use, stable, and performs well, but it depends on the environment where it is deployed. It is leaning more toward huge enterprises where it is positioned. It needs to be as easy as others but addresses more complex requirements."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is a total backup solution. We don't have to buy other applications to do it."
"NetBackup is based on really good architectural hardware, and Veritas has the best backup and replication technology in the world."
"The product enables me to recover the information of the appliances in the organization."
"The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"This is not a very high standard product."
"The only problem is that some of what we snap most of is the VMs. We found about 10% of the VMs that we can't snap because they're too interactive. It actually causes the application to crash."
"For simpler environments, they have some templates for startups. Possibly for a smaller environment, they need to do more automatic configuration and selections of users who want to do backups. This is mainly for smaller environments. I would like them to have the same system fit for all environments: small and big environments. Currently, we have to do a lot of configuration of the layout, which takes time. This solution is appropriate for enterprise-level enterprise, but I would like it to be easier to use for SMB environments."
"It is a little more complicated than it really needs to be."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Its dashboard could be improved to provide a summarized version of all the jobs instead of having to go through each one of them. We should easily be able to glance at all issues. If I had not gone with the on-premise version, I would have had regular reports with the cloud version. It would be an advantage if they increase the compression rate of the backup. I am keeping it on-prem, so I'll need more disks depending on the policies that I have in the retention period. Its price could also be lower. If a good solution can be cheaper, it is always an advantage."
"Could be easier to implement."
"The monitoring could be a bit better."
"The configuration can sometimes be tricky during implementation."
"Veritas NetBackup would benefit from better explained error codes."
"The scalability isn't great. Every time you want to add storage, you can't just add a little bit, you need to add a lot."
"The only drawback for NetBackup, and of course for Veritas, is that they have stuck to the same environment and to the same UI - User Interface. This needs to be improved in future releases. It needs to be more dynamic."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance needs to improve its security. It needs to ensure that it is 100 percent protected against cyberattacks."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."
"They could improve the interface a bit."
