Offers good time navigation features and we haven't had stability problems in the twelve years we've been using it
The initial setup was supposed to be complex, and a guy from Atempto went to our site and they did it with us together. So, in the end, it was quite clear and straightforward. The deployment took one day. From time to time, we require maintenance. Most things can be done also automatically. We prefer to do some manually like recycling virtual cartridges. Two people are required for maintenance. Two people use it daily. Time Navigator runs daily, for some backups, even more, three, four times a day, for critical stuff. But for intervention, we have two, three per week.
Wesam Qashou - PeerSpot reviewer
A mature backup solution, with many features, and great support
Veritas NetBackup is the first line of defense when disaster strikes. Before performing disaster recovery, we must have a good backup of our image that is also protected from ransomware. This way, we have a golden image that is resilient to ransomware attacks. We saw the benefits of Veritas NetBackup within the first three months.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The time navigation is the most valuable feature."
"This product is flexible enough to allow for backing up data from physical machines, as well as from your cloud environment."
"We can easily expand the ability of the solution."
"The feature that is most useful for us is that it backs up every application that we own."
"It is important, when we chose a solution, that the customer service/technical support team could help us when we needed it, but the support was good."
"The most valuable feature is its stability."
"It is a good solution. It covers most of the applications."
"What I like most is it is a professional product. It supports all kinds of technologies, and I consider it one of the best backup products available."
"The reporting is very good, with all of the details highlighted and very clear."
 

Cons

"They are working on the improvement we're looking for. The web GUI is flash-based and in around one or two months, they will put everything on HTML5."
"There is a big change in Veritas. In the past, we could easily change servers or appliances and continue working by restoring the catalog. We could change servers from Linux to Linux or Linux to Solaris and perform catalog restores to continue working. But with the new version, we are forced to engage Veritas' professional services, which is too expensive."
"The solution's technical support process should be improved."
"You cannot tell what your costs are going to be by using the dashboard, which is something that should be improved."
"The pricing is a bit of a concern. If could be lower."
"Main area that could be improved is the pricing, to make it more competitive"
"GUI needs to be more user-friendly."
"There could be granular control over metadata components, specifically in the context of JSON data for the product."
"Some of the hardware is out of support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is fair."
"Pricing is good, under our budget, and flexible."
"Veritas NetBackup is quite expensive and licensing costs are fixed."
"Our primary complaint about this product is that it is too expensive."
"So far I can only say that the license structure could be looked at to be aligned as either capacity-based or traditional."
"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."
"The licensing fees are expensive."
"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."

What is the best next generation backup tool?
Assuming you have an onprem ecosystem which runs the VMware, physical systems on Win, Linux and Unix and run both traditional DB's and nosql DB's like mongo, then Netbackup (NBU) will be the right ...

The most valuable feature of cloud integration is the ability to send data outside of your location. This can be achieved by integrating cloud tier options or other object storage solutions.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Veritas NetBackup?
The product is cost-effective, and I would rate its pricing as an eight out of ten. The pricing model is based on the amount of data transferred, making it manageable for us.
