As for the price, it's quite expensive, actually. It is expensive. If you want to make a comparison, for example, with Acronis Backup or Avamar, other solutions used here, NetBackup is indeed on the costly side.

The NetBackup appliance, specifically the appliance license is expensive. That's why some clients opt for alternatives like Veeam for virtual machine backup.

It is not an all-in-one solution. Some features come at an extra cost and need extra hardware or software.

I can't speak to the actual pricing of the product, however.

The solution is expensive. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten. The price could be a problem for smaller businesses. We’re engaged with the product as an enterprise. We might have received a lot of discounts on the price. It might not be the same for a small-scale business.

Veritas NetBackup is more expensive than Cohesity and Rubrik, but it is comparable in price to Commvault, IBM, and Dell.

There are no additional costs for Veritas NetBackup, and Veritas is helpful with the licensing. So, if I need a temporary location for a backup dump, they will provide me with a short-term license, and I am not obligated to purchase additional licenses for the full year.

I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten.

When we consider the quality and value of Veritas NetBackup, it is worth the cost.

Veritas NetBackup's pricing is somewhere between affordable and expensive. On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate Veritas NetBackup's pricing a seven out of ten. Veritas NetBackup's price could be a problem for small businesses.

Veritas NetBackup is more expensive than other backup solutions like Dell Power Protect and Veeam Backup.

The pricing is rather expensive. However, it's a good product. If it's good it's normal that you would pay so much for it. Of course, it could always be cheaper. 

There are different licenses. An enterprise license is all-inclusive. They may also charge per terabyte, which can get expensive if you have a big company.

The solution is expensive. I would rate the solution an eight of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive.

We have an unlimited license with NetBackup, with support for upgrades. Mainly, the product itself is a one-time purchase, and then there will be more for support, maintenance, or other additional features that you will have to pay for, and it will not be forever.

I think a complete license costs some $70,0000 a year. I wouldn't know the breakdown of what each feature costs.

It was on a yearly basis. During the annual review, when we asked them about our licensing, they couldn't explain it. For example, we had reduced by a factor of 40%, but our license only dropped by 5%. We would then ask Veritas people if we've reduced this much and shut down these servers, why has our license changed so less? They were never able to give us a straight answer. They weren't able to say, "Well, you're using this, and this is more expensive." In many cases, as we reduced our capacity and what we were using with Veritas NetBackup, our licensing actually went up, and they were often unable to explain why. 

We compare Veritas with Zerto and HPE. It is a bit cheaper. So, we purchased Veritas for storage and the temporary library, and now we are configuring everything from scratch. 

The solution is a bit more expensive than other products. The licensing could always be more flexible.

NetBackup isn't cheap. 

Compared to other solutions, such as Dell EMC's Avamar, the solution is reasonably priced. 

We've got a simple payment scheme set up where most of the features and the product itself are included in one single cost. It's quite straight forward in terms of pricing.

The solution is expensive compared to other products. 

The product is expensive. That said, it's not meant for small businesses. It's for enterprises. You can add more features to it, and those cost more.

Pricing depends on the number of licenses and on the number of servers you have. It varies based on the number of servers that you're trying to back up.

The solution is quite expensive. It's like buying a normal car for the price of a Rolls Royce.

The price is reasonable.

We purchased a perpetual license and perform SMS renewals.

Most people have felt this solution was somewhat expensive. It's licensed for 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, all the way up to 72 months. As long as you're current on maintenance, everything is included and there are no additional costs.

It is reasonably priced.

It is dependent on the institution as well as the company's requirements. Veeam provides a free corporate license for their platform, whereas Veritas does not. Perhaps there will be a trial version period, after which we will need to purchase it.

Veeam, for example, has a Community Edition, which is free for usage, without any support. This does not exist in Veritas. You can try it for 30, 40 days, or a month trial, then you need to pay for it and start the obligation. For example, I use Veeam without any subscription or license. There is a big difference.

It is slightly more expensive than Commvault, but it is pretty much the same. It is an enterprise solution, so it scales quite well. It has a lot of features. So, you pay for what you get. It is not cheap, but it is fit for the purpose.

Our primary complaint about this product is that it is too expensive.

There are some issues with the product and the Front-End Terabyte (FETB) licensing model that have changed, and we are considering changing products in part because of this. Once the current license expires, we may be phasing it out.

The problem is that previously, we had licensing for our processes, whereas now it is only FETB. It means that we are now forcing our clients to go to the cloud.

The pricing is good. You need to pay an additional cost if you want to fully utilize it. Like we are having virtual enrollment, so we go with the enterprise one. It has more features compared to standard license.

I don't know the licensing costs off the top of my head, but it's pretty high compared to other solutions out there. There are also additional costs for things like support. 

The price of Veritas NetBackup is high, it should be reduced.

Its price is quite reasonable. The cost depends on the depreciation and the volume. It also depends on the infrastructure. If your infrastructure increases, you would need some more licenses.

The licensing for this solution is annual. There are multiple features available for an additional cost.

If you want to have more scalability you have to purchase more licenses. The license is annually and there are a lot of different licensing depending on the number of terabytes needed. It is not based on per-user, core, or servers. You can backup anything you want using the purchased terabyte space. 

My licensing model is based on capacity so as we grow, the price we pay increases and it becomes too expensive.

NetBackup is a little costlier compared to other products and backup PSC.

We are very satisfied with the price of this solution.

Veritas NetBackup is quite expensive and licensing costs are fixed. 

We only pay a yearly license for support.

Veritas NetBackup's pricing is a bit steep when compared to other tools. It is very costly, but service-wise and overall, the Veritas NetBackup is a good product.

When you compare NetBackup's software licensing system with Veeam's, which is simpler and based on instances (or how many physical machines or virtual machines you want to protect), NetBackup isn't that competitive for smaller scale companies. However, if you're running many large workloads, then NetBackup may be the better option.

In Veritas, I'm hoping for a better price. Veritas NetBackup is very expensive, and I think price is the main reason which some customers don't want to use this solution. 

The licensing fees are expensive. It is a capacity-based license that is billed on a yearly basis. I renew it every year.

Price-wise, most of the backup products are similarly priced, and NetBackup is the same. There is perhaps a 10% difference in price between solutions.

Pricing is pretty costly as compared to the other products but worth investing for the long term and high ROI.

In terms of cost, it's not very good. I would rate it a five or six out of ten. They want everything to be sales and money.

Veritas Netbackup offers affordable licensing.

I can’t comment much as there’s not much visibility on this aspect. However, I’d advise mostly to go for a capacity based license for mid to large scale organisations.

If you have a complex environment with dozens of different servers and apps, I recommend you look for TB licensing. We decided to convert our per server licenses to simplify the license management.

The pricing is high. They need to work to make it lower or more competitive. 

Our customers directly purchase the license. 

We are happy with the pricing that we have, but it's expensive.

Licensing fees are charged based on the number of CPU cores.

Smaller virtualized environments will want to stick to a traditional licensing model if possible. It will likely be cheaper, but it is a pain to manage all the individual licenses for each client. Once you get to a thousand or so servers to backup, the capacity model starts to make more sense. Again, it is not what you would call cheap.

The solution is pretty expensive, which is why it's important to do proper sizing and capacity planning, so that you aren't buying more than you need.

I don't have the actual figures at the moment, but this is a costly product. Additional expenses would come in when other devices are integrated to the backup solution in that tape library.

Acceptable if you need to implement it for larger environments, e.g. over 1000 clients. For smaller setups it might be too expensive.

We pay on an annual basis. There are some additional costs to the standard licensing fees, but they're all optional. The pricing, of course, can always be better.

I find the cost of this solution to be high. The licensing is done based on the size of the source. If you have a source size of one terabyte then they will charge for a one terabyte license, although what is actually being stored is much less. This is something that they can improve on.

The licensing model is cost-prohibitive as you scale out. 

Veritas NetBackup is considerably cheaper than that of Druva, the former being quite affordable. 

Veritas NetBackup does not have any additional costs, only the licensing fee. 

The price of NetBackup is okay. I think it's a little bit expensive but manageable. It has a lot of features, and the backup is better than most applications, so I think the price is competitive.

NetBackup is expensive. They need to work on the pricing side. I find it comparatively on the higher side when I compare the terabyte backup costs.

The software and license are very expensive.

The price is okay.

The price is fair.

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

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

Pricing is good, under our budget, and flexible.

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

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.

Our license is capacity-based.

It is suitable for an enterprise solution.

I think that the pricing and licensing for this solution is good. It is affordable.

Licensing was very expensive and did not scale well if needed to move between license models. But you get for what you pay for.

A better price would make this product more competitive.

It is very expensive. The licensing cost for this solution is on a yearly basis. It is approximately 50k. We will continue using it at least for the next year, but we are currently doing an analysis to switch to some other solution.

Personally, I'd tell them to make an inventory of what they want to backup, how often, and the size of backup and recovery windows. After that, we talk about how their requirements weigh in on the pricing/licensing. After that, then the real thing starts.

Pricing is expensive, so it could be lower.
