Featured Reviews

Ingvar  Ingason - PeerSpot reviewer
Channel Sales Manager at Arrow Electronics
An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Unified backups have protected virtual machines and applications and optimize storage efficiency
Regarding automated disaster recovery, we have not used Veritas NetBackup automated disaster recovery because according to the RFP terms and conditions, we are not supposed to have automated failover or failback, as we are a government entity and cannot violate the rules of the RFP. My feedback about granular recovery in Veritas NetBackup is that we have been doing verifications of the backed-up data to restore from point to point and time to time, focusing on file level or database level. When it comes to integration with cloud services, we have not started because we are a government entity and are not allowed to store any data in the cloud at this time. From security concerns regarding what I would improve about Veritas NetBackup, I think you need to look into this because we found only one encryption option available, which is not that very strong. When I initiate a backup from my laptop or server to the appliance or the tape media using Veritas NetBackup, the encryption channels are not strong, and there are not many options available. Whatever is there is by default and not changeable. We cannot modify any encryption facilities, and security is a big concern nowadays, so you need to look into that. Regarding the functionality part of Veritas NetBackup, I think this encryption feature should be stronger and integrated from point to point, not just at specific levels. When I initiate a backup, all the communication channels involved should be encrypted until it reaches the endpoint, meaning from client to server, server to client, and client device.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"Our primary use case for the solution is to back up our devices and equipment for employees and some equipment in airport software."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"Nutanix, in my opinion, will eventually take over."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is useful for those who run an infrastructure where there might arise a need to do some transition or want to opt for digital transformation."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"The Dedup and file storage is great and very valuable."
"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."
"After ten years of using this product, I can say definitively that it is extremely stable."
"This has helped us manage our company backups."
"Veritas NetBackup technical support is good and responsive."
"Very scalable. Started with 20 machines, within two years, scaled to over 250 and management was just as easy."
"Best feature is its three-tier backup."
"The main features of this solution are deduplication, compression, ease of use, simplistic user interface, and compatibility with all the backup service systems."
 

Cons

"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"It could be cheaper."
"The pricing could be improved. It's an expensive solution."
"The solution could be cheaper and they should include more education or marketing materials for users to understand how to use the solution."
"The restoration method and the compression ratio need improvement."
"Scalability is a challenge because it is only available in a fixed capacity of, at least 48 terabytes, which makes it difficult to manage."
"It would be extremely helpful if the solution offered near-zero recovery time for SQL."
"The interface should be improved."
"The restore tool is not friendly to newcomers."
"Licensing was very expensive and did not scale well if needed to move between license models."
"The virtual environment, cloud integration, copy data management features need improvement."
"The HTML interface is a web application that does not offer all the features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"It is very expensive. The licensing cost for this solution is on a yearly basis. It is approximately 50k. We will continue using it at least for the next year, but we are currently doing an analysis to switch to some other solution."
"Veritas NetBackup is more expensive than Cohesity and Rubrik, but it is comparable in price to Commvault, IBM, and Dell."
"Veritas NetBackup is very expensive, and I think price is the main reason which some customers don't want to use this solution."
"The licensing model is cost-prohibitive as you scale out."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Veritas NetBackup is more expensive than other backup solutions like Dell Power Protect and Veeam Backup."
"It was on a yearly basis. During the annual review, when we asked them about our licensing, they couldn't explain it. For example, we had reduced by a factor of 40%, but our license only dropped by 5%. We would then ask Veritas people if we've reduced this much and shut down these servers, why has our license changed so less? They were never able to give us a straight answer. They weren't able to say, "Well, you're using this, and this is more expensive." In many cases, as we reduced our capacity and what we were using with Veritas NetBackup, our licensing actually went up, and they were often unable to explain why."
"Smaller virtualized environments will want to stick to a traditional licensing model if possible. It will likely be cheaper, but it is a pain to manage all the individual licenses for each client."
