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 deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"The flexibility. Being able to virtualize it, port it wherever I like, test my backups, test my DR capabilities whenever I like without impacting anybody."
"It's pretty simple. Once you set it, it goes; and then the idea of being able to get it to the cloud very quickly. It's kind of a set-it-forget-it."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data. You're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"Most importantly is having that island into that datacenter, and being able to address things in the same console. Thus, it is irrelevant where it's stored."
"The tool's most valuable feature is recovery."
"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 most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface."
"The most valuable feature is that the backup and restoring process is very fast."
"The solution is very stable...The solution is very scalable."
"This is a good backup interconversion solution because all the masters and the targets backups are on the same system. It is easy to administrate for a single point of access for clients."
"We have good data backup coverage."
"Technical support has been great."
"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
"I would like to see more web support."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"It would be nice if the solution was more complete. Many customers are looking for a single solution or silo that they can manage everything from. It would be nice, instead of having different products, if everything a client needed was in one solution."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"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."
"They could improve the interface a bit."
"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment."
"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."
"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."
"We had some problems with the backup of the physical server."
"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
