"We were evaluating other products and getting confused between Commvault and Veritas NetBackup. The one reason that we started with Veritas NetBackup is the pricing of the license. There's no other reason from a technical perspective or even operation or capability of the two software. The main reason we chose Veritas NetBackup was that in our use case it is more cost-effective."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup is the protection policies or protection module."

"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."

"It would be extremely helpful if the solution offered near-zero recovery time for SQL."
"In terms of improvement, it's very difficult to make it work with multiple business units. Its security model is too constricted."

"There could be granular control over metadata components, specifically in the context of JSON data for the product."
"Within their product lineup, they need to consolidate down to one product. Veritas doesn't have one product that does everything. So, Veritas can do everything, but you basically need to run two products. I would like them to combine all the capabilities into one release."
"The security and performance could improve with Veritas NetBackup. The security could be improved by protecting the data from attackers."
"It is not very user-friendly."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready.

This can render the automation less valuable."
