Veritas NetBackup Reviews

It saves time for the backup needs of our organization. 

It is less bulky. 

The interface should be improved. 

It is fine.

I do not have experience with their tech support.

I have previous experience with Veeam and NetApp Backup. 

We looked at Veeam and Veritas NetBackup. 

We are integrators, and we sell this solution. I am in a sales position.

In most cases, Veritas NetBackup is for carriers or the banking sector; these are our primary customers.

It includes many features and has all of the features that other solutions have.

I think this is the best backup solution that we have. It is very good for the infrastructure.

We had some issues with the hardware backup appliance. Our main customer is the one that is experiencing these issues.

I have been working with Veritas NetBackup for five or six years.

We are working with the latest version.

Last year, we started to sell this version.

Veritas NetBackup is a stable solution.

My colleagues in the engineering department handle this area.

I don't have any information regarding the installation.

The licensing model for this solution is very powerful. The licenses are related to the number of years.

We are Veritas partners.

I would rate Veritas NetBackup an eight out of ten.

We use Veritas NetBackup to backup any system or database.

The main features of this solution are deduplication, compression, ease of use, simplistic user interface, and compatibility with all the backup service systems.

I have been using Veritas NetBackup for more than 10 years.

The solution is not that stable because it has to be monitored and administered every day. The stability could be improved.

We have approximately 10 customers using this solution.

We were satisfied with the technical support.

The installation requires some knowledge, but the procedure is easy and there is a lot of clear detailed documentation you can follow available.

The installation time can vary depending on the size of the environment. On average it can take between five to seven days.

We did the implementation of the solution and we used one engineer.

There is a license required for this solution and it is priced based upon the data used.

I would recommend this solution.

I rate Veritas NetBackup a nine out of ten.

We use it for the high workload environment. All critical backups are covered by Veritas NetBackup. 

It is a good solution. It covers most of the applications.

Its integration with Nutanix and technical support can be improved.

I have been working with this solution for 15 years. 

It is mostly good. We have BCM, so we have no issues with that. Sometimes, there is a delay in getting support due to resources.

Based on my experience of using enterprise-grade backup solutions for a long time, easy management and deployment generally don't happen for enterprises. You generally can't scale an enterprise-grade solution. You usually combine different solutions. 

When we create a full solution, there is some complexity in installation management. In the end, we are able to get features, such as easy management and combined centralized management, with Veritas.

Pricing is good, under our budget, and flexible.

I would rate Veritas NetBackup an eight out of ten.

We use Veritas NetBackup, to back up everything, especially the IT platforms and infrastructures.

Veritas NetBackup has assisted our company in securing data, protecting data, and protecting our business.

We believe that everything Veritas NetBackup offers, including backups, snapshots, deduplication, and replication, is valuable.

System administrators would be more efficient in NetBackup if the number of tools and command lines was reduced.

I have been using Veritas NetBackup for more than 15 years.

Veritas NetBackup is a stable product.

You can say that it is scalable.

Technical support is great.

In my opinion, I would say the initial setup is a complex process.

We require a specialized team to maintain this solution.

For the time being, we are handling or managing the backup solution on our own, but we may need assistance from support to resolve issues with the backup.

It is an expensive solution. It's expensive because it provides many features and options.

In my opinion, it is the best backup solution available. I would rate Veritas NetBackup a ten out of ten.

The primary use cases for our clients are for data protection and for backups.

The most valuable aspect of the solution for our clients, obviously, is security. It backs up Microsoft SQL Server very well. 

The solution offers very good storage efficiency, so there's excellent compression and deduplication within the product that our clients really appreciate.

How the solution operates in the cloud could be improved. There's a feature called data immutability, and needs to be improved within the product.

I'm only familiar with the 8.2 version of the solution. It is my understanding that there are some new features that are being released in 8.3. However, more API integration is required in future releases, if that's not already in the works.

It would be extremely helpful if the solution offered near-zero recovery time for SQL.

I've been using the solution for 20 years. It's been about two decades.

The solution is very stable. Our clients find it reliable. There aren't bugs or glitches that affect how it works. It doesn't crash or cause downtime.

The solution can scale. That's not a problem. I usually consult with organizations that are medium to large in size, and I know that if they need to expand or scale up, they can do so with this product.

I have not had any experience with technical support. That service is for my clients to work with. I simply help evaluate the product on their behalf. My understanding, however, is that they've got a support and managed service that they offer with service level agreements.

Unfortunately, I don't implement the solution. I just evaluate different products, including this one, for my clients. Since I'm not involved in the process, I wouldn't be able to evaluate how difficult or straightforward it is to accomplish.

I am aware of the list pricing. It can be quite high if your company has a lot of storage.

It's licensed on a per terabyte basis. Depending on how many terabytes you have, that will ultimately determine the cost. There aren't any additional costs beyond the per terabyte pricing.

We're Veritas partners, however, we are independent and completely neutral towards our partners. I'm a consultant. I don't use the product. I evaluate the product for clients. The clients are the ones who use the product.

I'd advise other organizations to look at both their on-prem and cloud together. It's good to manage everything from one place.

I'd rate the solution eight out for ten.

I am an integrator and I provide solutions for our customers.

This solution is used for the backup and recovery of our customer's data.

We like the use of the tasks.

The documentation is good.

The implementation process could be simplified to make it quicker.

I was certified with NetBackup in 2008. There was a bit of a break in using backup solutions but I recently started using it again for our customer who is using it. I have approximately two years of experience.

We are working with NetBackup 9.1.

Veritas NetBackup is stable. We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution.

At this moment, we are satisfied with it.

The scalability is impressive. Our clients are mostly enterprise businesses.

At this time, we have no plans to increase our usage or move to another solution. We recently implemented this product and we are satisfied with the tasks it performs.

If we have any issues, we contact technical support in Russia. They provide us with a resolution.

We are very satisfied with the technical support.

The initial setup is not complex. We implement from the Veritas site and we use the knowledge base.

It can take several months to implement this solution. We had to prepare the architecture, the guides, and documentation for several data centers. It was not a fast implementation.

Our license is capacity-based.

I would rate Veritas NetBackup a nine out of ten.

Our primary use case for NetBackup is to protect all the servers and applications that we have in our company.

Veritas released a new feature in version 8 of NetBackup called VRP. It's kind of like replication management from VMware.

The great thing about this feature is that Veritas gave it to us for free. 

Sometimes we have problems with the support team. They always end up solving and fixing everything, but sometimes they are slow to respond. Maybe they can increase the number of personnel they have for the Spanish language.

I also think they could improve the reporting. They use a web-based software application OpsCenter for the reporting and I see that they haven't made any changes in years. 

My company has been using this solution for eight years. 

This solution is stable. 

Veritas NetBackup is very scalable. 

I personally have a lot of experience with this product, but someone without a whole lot of knowledge about it would have to partner up with a vendor. I would say overall deployment is at a medium level of difficulty. 

It takes about a week to deploy the solution. This is a backend solution, a master server. Sometimes, it can be difficult to set up the window changes, configure the Oracle database, etc.
