We performed a comparison between NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP and Veritas NetBackup Appliance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, Pure Storage, IBM and others in Cloud Software Defined Storage."The most valuable feature is its exceptional performance and storage efficiency."
"We're able to use the SnapMirror function and SnapMirror data from our on-prem environment into Azure. That is super-helpful. SnapMirror allows you to take data that exists on one NetApp, on a physical NetApp storage platform, and copy it over to another NetApp storage platform. It's a solid, proven technology, so we don't worry about whether data is getting lost or corrupted during the SnapMirror."
"This solution has made everything easier to do."
"The fast recovery time objective with the ability to bring the environment back to production in case something happens."
"NetApp's Cloud Manager automation capabilities are very good because it's REST-API-driven, so we can completely automate everything. It has a good overview if you want to just have a look into your environment as well."
"The feature which I like the most is that it has the capabilities that the traditional storage system offers. It provides all the functionality. The deduplication and compression work exactly like ONTAP's traditional storage. So people who have experience with that find it very easy to manage."
"NetApp's XCP Migration Tool... was pretty awesome. It replicated the data faster than any other tool that I've seen. That was a big help."
"Its features help us to have a backup of our volumes using the native technology of NetApp ONTAP. That way, we don't have to invest in other solutions for our backup requirement. Also, it helps us to replicate the data to another geographic location so that helps us to save on the costs of backup products."
"The solution is very stable...The solution is very scalable."
"They are a large company with good best practices, and they give good support."
"It is easy to use and the performance is good."
"We find the pricing is reasonable."
"I think the solution is very intuitive, effective, and easy to use."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is information backup."
"It’s quite scalable."
"If you use the NetBackup Appliance you do not need to have separate media servers and hardware. You can configure the same storage as a media server and master server as well as a storage port. This helps to reduce the hardware costs of the media server."
"I would like some more performance matrices to know what it is doing. It has some matrices inherent to the Cloud Volumes ONTAP. But inside Cloud Manager, it would also be nice to see. You can have a little Snapshot, then drill down if you go a little deeper."
"I would like to see them improve the perspective of start and search in the panels. This would allow for better visualization of the contents that are captured in the tool."
"There is room for improvement in tier one support, especially with potential language barriers and communication challenges."
"The solution could be better when we're connecting to our S3 side of the house. Right now, it doesn't see it, and I'm not sure why."
"NetApp CVO needs to have more exposure and mature further before it will have greater acceptance."
"I would like to have more management tools. They are difficult to work with, so I would like them to be a bit more user-friendly."
"The automated deployment was a bit complex using the public APIs. When we had to deploy Cloud Volumes ONTAP on a regular basis using automation, It could be a bit of a challenge."
"There is room for improvement with the capacity. There's a very hard limit to how many disks you can have and how much space you can have. That is something they should work to fix, because it's limiting. Right now, the limit is about 360 terabytes or 36 disks."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance can improve by having a more direct connection to the cloud. It should have the technology to be able to directly communicate with the cloud."
"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."
"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment."
"The monitoring could be a bit better."
"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 tool's pricing is expensive and could be lower."
"I would like the ability to recover a single folder within the backup of a virtual machine."
"The hybrid model is not that efficient if we want to off-site data; it takes a lot of time to upload the data on a regular basis."
