Ensures efficient backup and recovery processes
The Protect and Restore features are very helpful. I can set up tags to include specific assets in our environment for backup. When I include those tags in my search, the assets are easily found and can be added for backup. I love the restore feature and how easily I can restore files, folders, or an entire image.

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

"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"They are a large company with good best practices, and they give good support."
"In our legacy system, Veritas was the number one product for us in many ways to fill our backup requirements."
"I can confidently say that I have managed more than 30 or 50 appliances over different time periods, and yet I never had a single hardware failure."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup Appliance is duplication and covers many applications."
"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."
"The Oracle Agent and Oracle RAC support are valuable features; they are crucial for taking backups and cloning applications."
"It is good for huge and complex enterprise environments, and at the end of the day, you get an ROI."
"The initial setup gets easier the more you do it."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"The only room for improvement is that the cost per terabyte is extremely high."
"This solution has to have better integration with the cloud, as well as with other solutions such as Business Intelligence products."
"With technical support, it feels like they aren't well trained and it takes forever to get answers out of them."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve by having a site recovery feature."
"More licensing options could be introduced to the software. It is currently based on capacity only. Compared to competitors, it is difficult to position it economically everywhere. From the usability point of view, they are making many improvements on new interfaces, the SaaS offering, etc."
"Veritas NetBackup would benefit from better explained error codes."
"The product must improve its recovery features."
"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."
