We performed a comparison between NetApp AltaVault and Veritas NetBackup 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."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."
"It's so easy to work with."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"The deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data."
"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."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"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."
"Great deduplication feature."
"Unauthorized people cannot log in and execute commands."
"We have a file server and our data file server, everything. We use it for VM server backup, too."
"I like the virtual server backup."
"It was especially useful with the appliances we use on a daily basis."
"We can easily expand the ability of the solution."
"It provides us with the versatility to back up everything we require which eliminates the need for a secondary backup solution."
"Management interface was simple to use once understood."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
"I would like to see more web support."
"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."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
"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."
"System administrators would be more efficient in NetBackup if the number of tools and command lines was reduced."
"The solution could improve by having a feature to backup iSeries workloads."
"DDBoost."
"We are facing a challenge regarding the support for Docker and Kubernetes features. We hope for the possibility of directly backing up Kubernetes and Docker images without the necessity of taking full virtual machine backups."
"Its integration with Nutanix and technical support can be improved."
"The backup operation interface is not as mature as those of Veritas's competitors and has room for improvement."
"This solution would benefit from a more friendly, web-based interface."
"What needs to be improved in Veritas NetBackup is its interface, e.g. they should make it more user friendly. Scalability for this product could still be improved, particularly its hardware appliance scalability."
