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.

"The most valuable feature is its stability."
"Veritas NetBackup is a reliable, easy-to-use, and easy-to-deploy solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"It could be cheaper."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Netbackup can backup MySQL via Oracle policy, to be honest, this is not completely native support and this method has a few limitations. In fact, you can buy from Veritas (or Zmanda) clients for MySQL or PostgerSQL from Zmanda to backup MySQL or PostgreSQL on Linux."
"There may be a learning curve."
"Maybe they could add more cloud solutions."
"The biggest additional features needed are more cloud capabilities and security from ransomware."
"You cannot tell what your costs are going to be by using the dashboard, which is something that should be improved."
"The ease of use needs improvement."
"The product could improve the user-friendliness and comfort of its environment, especially for those unfamiliar with it."
"In regards to protecting the physical servers with parameters, it's a long and difficult process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
"In terms of cost, it's not very good."
"If you have a source size of one terabyte then they will charge for a one terabyte license, although what is actually being stored is much less."
"We are happy with the pricing that we have, but it's expensive."
"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."
"Veritas NetBackup's price could be a problem for small businesses."
"The price is fair."
"Veritas NetBackup is quite expensive and licensing costs are fixed."
"When we consider the quality and value of Veritas NetBackup, it is worth the cost."
