Veritas NetBackup Reviews

We use Veritas NetBackup, to back up everything, especially the IT platforms and infrastructures.

Veritas NetBackup has assisted our company in securing data, protecting data, and protecting our business.

We believe that everything Veritas NetBackup offers, including backups, snapshots, deduplication, and replication, is valuable.

System administrators would be more efficient in NetBackup if the number of tools and command lines was reduced.

I have been using Veritas NetBackup for more than 15 years.

Veritas NetBackup is a stable product.

You can say that it is scalable.

Technical support is great.

In my opinion, I would say the initial setup is a complex process.

We require a specialized team to maintain this solution.

For the time being, we are handling or managing the backup solution on our own, but we may need assistance from support to resolve issues with the backup.

It is an expensive solution. It's expensive because it provides many features and options.

In my opinion, it is the best backup solution available. I would rate Veritas NetBackup a ten out of ten.

Veritas NetBackup is used for backing up data.

The solution could improve by having a feature to backup iSeries workloads.

I used Veritas NetBackup within 12 months.

The solution is stable.

You have two agents, one on the server-side and the other on the client side. For the server-side, the product is licensed using Front-End Terabytes. You must buy more Front-End Terabytes licenses for the server to scale, allowing a higher quantity of backup data. On the client side, it is easy to scale, you can add all clients as you wish. Using Windows Server or Linux Server, if you want to back up databases, such as Oracle SQL Server, or if you want to back up applications, such as SAP or Exchange, it can be done.

Veritas NetBackup has a lot of documentation on the web, in the public domain, it is easy. If you like to read a lot of documents, there is a lot of information available. You have the documents, guides, manuals, that are detailed for all kinds of products, for all kinds of clients and agents. When you need to reach technical support, that means your issue is very hard and documentation has no solution.

In my experience, the Veritas NetBackup installation is hard. However, when it is running in operation, it works with no issues or problems. There are some challenges here in Chile and the whole implementation process can take 60 to 75 days.

At the company where I currently work, Veritas NetBackup is our corporate solution an
when my customers ask for a backup solution, my first option is Veritas NetBackup.

I recommend this solution to others.

I rate Veritas NetBackup a ten out of ten.

We use NetBackup to take a snapshot of our endpoint server. 

The main thing I like about NetBackup is CloudPoint. You can take a snapshot of the endpoint and back it up with CloudPoint. The data backups are the most important. I also like how Veritas has simplified the GUIs. There are a lot of security features in place already around the connection as well as many intelligent policies and a pure understanding of the cloud policies, so it's direct compared to many others.

Veritas could simplify the firmware recovery in terms of the deployed. The process shouldn't be dependent on the agents. It should be completely agentless. 

I have been using NetBackup for two years.

NetBackup is stable.

NetBackup is scalable.

NetBackup support isn't great, but it's not the worst, either.

Setting up NetBackup is easy, but the documentation is a bit complex. Veritas used to have consolidated documentation, so it was easy to navigate the documents. The implementation guidelines were contained in a single document, so you didn't need to switch between multiple documents. Configuration should be the clearest documentation.

The price of NetBackup is okay. I think it's a little bit expensive but manageable. It has a lot of features, and the backup is better than most applications, so I think the price is competitive.

I rate NetBackup seven out of 10. 

I use it to back up servers, databases, files, and photos. 

I like the virtual server backup. 

Maybe they could add more cloud solutions.

I've been using NetBackup for more than 10 years.

It's very stable and very good.

It's easy to scale. 

Technical support is very good.

It's somewhat complex. It wasn't very easy but it's fixable. It takes about one or two hours to deploy.

I would give it a nine out of 10.

I am an integrator and I provide solutions for our customers.

This solution is used for the backup and recovery of our customer's data.

We like the use of the tasks.

The documentation is good.

The implementation process could be simplified to make it quicker.

I was certified with NetBackup in 2008. There was a bit of a break in using backup solutions but I recently started using it again for our customer who is using it. I have approximately two years of experience.

We are working with NetBackup 9.1.

Veritas NetBackup is stable. We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution.

At this moment, we are satisfied with it.

The scalability is impressive. Our clients are mostly enterprise businesses.

At this time, we have no plans to increase our usage or move to another solution. We recently implemented this product and we are satisfied with the tasks it performs.

If we have any issues, we contact technical support in Russia. They provide us with a resolution.

We are very satisfied with the technical support.

The initial setup is not complex. We implement from the Veritas site and we use the knowledge base.

It can take several months to implement this solution. We had to prepare the architecture, the guides, and documentation for several data centers. It was not a fast implementation.

Our license is capacity-based.

I would rate Veritas NetBackup a nine out of ten.

We use Veritas NetBackup to backup any system or database.

The main features of this solution are deduplication, compression, ease of use, simplistic user interface, and compatibility with all the backup service systems.

I have been using Veritas NetBackup for more than 10 years.

The solution is not that stable because it has to be monitored and administered every day. The stability could be improved.

We have approximately 10 customers using this solution.

We were satisfied with the technical support.

The installation requires some knowledge, but the procedure is easy and there is a lot of clear detailed documentation you can follow available.

The installation time can vary depending on the size of the environment. On average it can take between five to seven days.

We did the implementation of the solution and we used one engineer.

There is a license required for this solution and it is priced based upon the data used.

I would recommend this solution.

I rate Veritas NetBackup a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for various workloads, including the SQL workload. 

The solution is very easy to use and easy to navigate.

There's a very nice central console for the administration of all of the instances.

The solution is stable. 

We find the product scales well. 

Customer support is very quick to respond.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

The pricing is a bit of a concern. If could be lower.

We find the solution needs better integration capabilities when it comes to mid-range and enterprise-level environments. 

I've been using the solution for seven to eight years at this point. It's been a while. 

The stability is very good. there are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and the performance is great.

The scalability is good. If a company needs to expand its usage, it can do so.

We have 3,000 people on the product currently. 

Technical support is great. they are fast and very helpful. We are satisfied with their level of service. 

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

The deployment is fats. It took us about three to four hours to do a basic installation with our client.

We have 25 to 30 admins that can handle maintenance and deployment within our organization. 

We help out clients install the product.

I personally can handle the implementation myself and don't need a consultant or integrator. 

The pricing is high. They need to work to make it lower or more competitive. 

Our customers directly purchase the license. 

Per the customer requirement, we are providing consultancy services and providing the licenses, as well as implementation services to clients.

We're currently using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We're quite satisfied with its capabilities. 

I'd recommend the product to other users and companies. 

We use the solution for the full and incremental backup of databases such as Sybase.

We have an issue with the last version on the latest backup of the solution. It's not compatible with Sybase 16.5. 

Two days ago the solution worked fine and we were able to use it for all our Unix and Sybase servers, as well as the back-end database. But, now there is a need for us to change the lag about a report in respect of the media on Facebook. 

We primarily use Unix servers, not those of Windows. 

I have been using Veritas NetBackup for ten years, since 2010. 

The solution is stable.

In the past we worked with Veeam and Avamar, at which point we made a determination of which solution would best serve our projects. 

The initial setup was complex.

The price is okay.

I rate Veritas NetBackup as a seven out of ten.
