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."I personally find Veritas NetBackup Applicance hassle-free."
"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."
"It is easy to use and the performance is good."
"The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface."
"It’s quite scalable."
"We find the pricing is reasonable."
"Installing this solution is very simple and takes perhaps five or ten minutes."
"The solution is useful for backups."
"The most important feature is that the recovery point (RPO) is less than one minute. The is really good for our customers, as they can keep their data loss to a minimum."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the live migration."
"There are two things that are keeping us with the solution: 1. It does a very good job of keeping the data in sync at all times. 2. In the event of a failover or in the event of a contingency, we are able to retrieve the data very quickly without any issues."
"The most important features are the simplicity of recovery and the wider capabilities and feature sets than VMware SRM has."
"It reduced the backup recovery time of our main backup solution by several hours. It's reduced our time because before we have to build a system and restore the data, we install the application and restore the data that took us at least a good 24 hours to do that. And now it's really minutes for us to recover our backup solution."
"The most valuable for us and for my company is that we are replicating most of our production customers to the DR site, and we can do testing whenever we want."
"The orchestration and automation of the DR and how it replicates the VMs and then picks them up in the DR site have been most valuable."
"The most valuable features are the single pane of glass and the reduction in time it takes for our systems engineering team to manage the platform."
"They could simplify the process of installing, and provide more space for data during the process."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."
"The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk."
"The upgrade process of the solution needs to be improved since it is extremely complicated, especially without the benefit of a support person who can guide one through it."
"This solution has to have better integration with the cloud, as well as with other solutions such as Business Intelligence products."
"We had some problems with the backup of the physical server."
"It is not easy because I have worked a lot on the tool, and in case it gets corrupted at any point, it is not easy to restore the data without losing information is not easy."
"They need to make the licensing more clear. They should give all of the licensing details for the portals and be more clear. I have accidentally purchased the incorrect license because it's not clear."
"It is expensive."
"The alerting doesn't quite give you the information about what exactly is going on when an issue comes up. We do get alerts inside of our vCenter, but it doesn't quite give you accurate information inside the plugin to be able to tell us what's going on without having to go into the actual Zerto application and figuring out what's causing the issue."
"I would like to see a separate product offer for performing backups, although I think that this is something that they are expecting to release in the next version."
"The VPG model causes us a bit of concern. We are considering using Zerto to replace Site Recovery Manager. Site Recovery Manager is very easy when we have entire data scores being replicated. We don't have to make any decisions when it comes to groupings. It is all covered. If we move to Zerto, which we are considering, we will have to work much closer with the applications teams to develop the VPG configuration and determine how the VMs will be grouped. It will be a lot more overhead for us to go that route."
"I don't feel like we're a big enough customer to warrant being called every week or every month but it would be good to get a little bit more contact with a salesperson or engineer group."
"One thing I would like to see in their roadmap is introducing long-term storage in the cloud such as Azure or AWS. They can make it more seamless."
"The replication layer can probably be improved."
"The licensing is confusing and complicated."
