Backup management excels with user-friendly interface and effective deduplication, offering robust data protection
Leveraging AI in Veritas NetBackup Appliance is one of the road maps now that they have done a collaboration with Cohesity, which is a feature I'm looking forward to. Using AI is one improvement I recommend for the Veritas NetBackup Appliance. They have implemented some aspects of AI for features such as malware detection and anomaly detection. I believe they can do more to give customers more insight into their data, allowing them to see it and understand what they can do, such as archiving old data. They can do more by utilizing the data effectively to provide insights to customers about their space usage, future projections, and options for managing old data.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"Asigra’s multi-tenancy feature is most valuable as it allows the company to on-sell a private cloud backup and recovery solution to existing customers."
"The Asigra product on the whole is a fantastic solution and I would highly recommend this as it delivers everything our business and our subsequent customers required."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"Simplicity, very easy to restore user data, means that we don't have to request off site tapes to be delivered to the office, can easily access the cloud data and restore most data within minutes."
"The consistency of using it over a long period of time has been excellent."
"NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is the duplication encryption standard feature."
"The policy-based backup feature is very helpful."
"We rarely need their help. I would give their technical support an 8.5 out of ten. We are satisfied."
"The solution has a very easy-to-navigate user interface."
"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."
"This is an available and reliable solution, which is very good to set up for enterprise systems."
"The most valuable feature of the Veritas NetBackup Appliance is the virtual machine backups."
 

Cons

"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"They should have 24/7 support for customers in different time zones. They are slow to respond to requests, and I get the impression that the ServiceDesk is overloaded."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"The management could be a bit better."
"Technical support could be improved, the knowledge base is quite low and it's complicated to deal with them."
"We had some problems with the backup of the physical server."
"They could improve the process of installing by not wasting so much local disk space during the process."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."
"The only drawback for NetBackup, and of course for Veritas, is that they have stuck to the same environment and to the same UI - User Interface. This needs to be improved in future releases. It needs to be more dynamic."
"The tool's pricing is expensive and could be lower."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The product's price is high."
"There is a license needed to use Veritas NetBackup Appliance and there are not any additional fees."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is priced well compared to other solutions."
"The product is expensive and comes with a yearly license."
"It costs more to license support for this solution, compared to others."
"The pricing for the solution's software maintenance and licensing is high."
"This solution is expensive."
