We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP 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."Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is the initiative UI and the logs are clear and detailed that are generated when there has been an issue or failure on the user's system. We only have to log onto the client's system to retrieve the information. It is possible to precisely identify the problem's location. The system categorizes and logs every step in a structured manner, selectively displaying only the essential logs. However, to view a comprehensive log, one must access the line machine log and examine the actual client for detailed logging."
"The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."
"This product is extremely user-friendly and it is capable of performing large-scale archive/backup (five+ years worth). It is easy to store, maintain, and check backups."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup is the protection policies or protection module."
"It's durable — we achieve what we expect from it."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility."
"The backup and restoration are 100 percent guaranteed."
"Good graphical user interface. It's easy to create policies and to do installs."
"I think this is the best backup solution that we have. It is very good for the infrastructure."
"The Replication Director, Auto Image Replication, Accelerator, Oracle Intelligent Policy, synthetic and VADP backups are the most valuable features."
"I like the virtual server backup."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The solution's technical support process should be improved."
"We would like the Java console to be updated."
"It's a little bit complex to manage."
"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."
"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."
"NetBackup is expensive and should be cheaper. That is why we are moving on to another solution."
"There may be a learning curve."
"Its integration with Nutanix and technical support can be improved."
