IT Admin at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
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.

High-speed backup and strong deduplication have supported secure long-term data protection
In my opinion, what can be improved about Veritas NetBackup Appliance includes licensing. A mixed licensing model would be more helpful, such as terabytes plus virtual machines, terabytes plus instances, or number of instances. I believe this could work and create a new competitive licensing model against other products. Additionally, embedding Enterprise Vault or some of its features in the backup software would enable better competition with Commvault, which offers backup and archiving from the same console. For the next release of Veritas NetBackup Appliance, I would like to see improvements in licensing, increased deduplication ratio, and enhanced high availability. Having high availability for Veritas NetBackup Appliance without requiring virtual storage like Cohesity would be important. Improving the overall high availability of Veritas NetBackup Appliance would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you need anything, it's written in, and if you have problems, a development engineer is quite fast to fix it."
"The time navigation is the most valuable feature."
"The backup capabilities are very good, and we find the ability to allow for business continuity to be very helpful."
"The Veritas NetBackup Appliance is convenient because it’s a portable device and doesn’t require a lot of additional hardware or licenses like VPN solutions."
"If you use the NetBackup Appliance you do not need to have separate media servers and hardware, as you can configure the same storage as a media server and master server as well as a storage port, which helps to reduce the hardware costs of the media server."
"The utilization of Data Domain is crucial because of its integration with a key Veritas feature: retention lock. This feature ensures data integrity by preventing any alterations to stored data. When NetBackup interacts with Data Domain, enabling the retention lock feature ensures that neither administrators nor backup personnel can modify data stored within the system. This functionality is vital for compliance purposes and meets the requirements of auditors."
"The solution is pretty easy to use, with a very easy-to-navigate user interface that allows users to easily learn as they go, and its pricing is pretty good and not too expensive for us."
"Overall, Veritas is a good solution; the problem is the cost."
"It is very capable of scaling and very good for heterogeneous environments."
"A specific example where Veritas NetBackup Appliance helped me recover data or avoid a major issue is when I had a scenario where a customer was using two backup applications, one being Veritas NetBackup Appliance and the other one being one of the other common Windows-based solutions, the environment was attacked by ransomware, and they were able to recover 100 percent using Veritas NetBackup Appliance, whereas the other backup solution was 100 percent affected."
 

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."
"This solution is not as stable as Veeam. When it crashes and you want to cover, it is a complicated procedure."
"They could improve the process of installing by not wasting so much local disk space during the process."
"Customers say that the price for Veritas NetBackup Appliance is high."
"It is not easy because I have worked a lot on the tool, and in case it gets corrupted at any point, it is not easy to restore the data without losing information is not easy."
"The scalability isn't great. Every time you want to add storage, you can't just add a little bit, you need to add a lot."
"It could be better integrated with other platforms."
"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved. We have some critical problems that have not yet been resolved, and everyone is nervous."
"We are having problems with them because of the licensing, and this is why we are changing solutions."
