Room For Improvement

<p>Infrascale Backup &amp; Disaster Recovery needs UI improvements, feature scalability, better pricing, enhanced security, and improved support and documentation.</p>
Veritas NetBackup Appliance needs user-friendliness, improved cloud integration, better pricing, enhanced scalability, and more accessible management for non-experts.
Many customers do not rely on just one cloud provider and want to work with multiple clouds.
President at a media company with 11-50 employees
I can suggest using the recovery time objective system, where current state systems can be restored in about zero downtime.
Cloud Operations Engineer at PowerSchool India Pvt.Ltd
When the product works, there is really nothing to fix, but they can allow different types of backups, such as differential or incremental backups.
President at IT1 Service
Veritas NetBackup Appliance can eliminate the Java UI and move everything to the web UI, which is easy, simple to use, and the way forward.
Solutions Architect at Rigor Systems Limited

The only room for improvement is that the cost per terabyte is extremely high.

Setup Cost

<p>Infrascale Backup &amp; Disaster Recovery offers flexible, competitive pricing with clear costs, ideal for enterprises seeking scalable solutions.</p>
Veritas NetBackup Appliance is seen as costly but valued for features, with varied pricing based on storage and maintenance.
To someone considering Infrascale but is concerned about the price, I would say that they should get Infrascale's service no matter what it costs because any downtime or any loss of data is substantially worse than any cost for backup.
President at IT1 Service
We recently renewed one of our agreements with them, and even though we were going to renew anyway, they added more margin in terms of a discount for us for renewing early.
Co-Founder | Director | CTO | vCISO | Lead Consultant Infrastructure & Cloud at UBIQUITY Ltd
The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others.
President at a media company with 11-50 employees
It's more costly than Commvault, which offers similar features at 70% of the price.
Oracle Technology Manager at MOPCO
It is a high price because the maintenance has a large cost, especially if the appliance is hardware rather than a virtual appliance.
Storage & Backup Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The price is slightly expensive for small and medium enterprises.
Technical Manager at Rigor Systems Limited
 

Valuable Features

<p>Infrascale Backup &amp; Disaster Recovery offers efficient management, fast recoveries, and secure, cost-effective replication for enhanced operational resilience.</p>
Veritas NetBackup Appliance offers fast, reliable backups, user-friendly interface, scalability, and supports diverse environments with strong data protection.
Performing backup and recovery can be done very intuitively with the solution and the interface that is part of the solution.
President at a media company with 11-50 employees
What I like the most about it is that backups and restores are simple, straightforward, and clean.
President at IT1 Service
The biggest advantage is that I do not need to manage backups on traditional tapes, which helps maintain total business continuity.
Deputy Vice President - IT at TransUnion
The encryption feature in Veritas NetBackup Appliance helps protect sensitive information, as there is encryption at rest and encryption in transit from commands sent from server to client.
Storage & Backup Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The anomaly detection and notifications in Veritas NetBackup Appliance have helped me in my day-to-day work because when I have a server that is being backed up and it has some anomaly, for example, ransomware trying to encrypt it, I will have a considerably different footprint for the server backed up yesterday and the one which has been affected by malware.

Featured Reviews

Vivek_Jaiswal - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Engineer at LTI Mindtree
Cloud backups have strengthened ransomware recovery and now protect critical business data
I see several areas where Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery could be improved. First is the architectural design and configuration, along with operational maturity, as well as security integration. The performance of support can definitely be improved with easier on-call support features for P1 and P2 incidents. Getting quick support from the vendor during major recoveries or disasters would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, improving the strength of ransomware protections, addressing critical gaps in deployments, enforcing backup immutability policies, and making disaster recovery testing routine instead of an ad hoc process are important. Validating that I can quickly recover data should be a priority, and improved runbooks or operational maturity platforms would be beneficial for data recovery from critical incidents.
MohamedFekry - PeerSpot reviewer
Enterprise Architect at vertowave
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.
