IT Admin at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Offers good time navigation features and we haven't had stability problems in the twelve years we've been using it
The initial setup was supposed to be complex, and a guy from Atempto went to our site and they did it with us together. So, in the end, it was quite clear and straightforward. The deployment took one day. From time to time, we require maintenance. Most things can be done also automatically. We prefer to do some manually like recycling virtual cartridges. Two people are required for maintenance. Two people use it daily. Time Navigator runs daily, for some backups, even more, three, four times a day, for critical stuff. But for intervention, we have two, three per week.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you need anything, it's written in, and if you have problems, a development engineer is quite fast to fix it."
"The time navigation is the most valuable feature."
"When we moved to NetBackup we discovered a whole new world of possibilities and capabilities."
"There are a lot of new features that operate to protect the data from ransomware attacks. They launched the Veritas/Appliances to protect our data. Veritas has been doing its job well."
"The solution is useful for backups."
"It has been our go-to product for backup."
"Even though we have top cloud solutions, if the infrastructure is on-premise and it's a large enough infrastructure, and if you have a good team to manage, the best, the most dependable solution would be NetBackup."
"If you use the NetBackup Appliance you do not need to have separate media servers and hardware, as you can configure the same storage as a media server and master server as well as a storage port, which helps to reduce the hardware costs of the media server."
"This solution is flexible, powerful, and fast."
"The backup capabilities are very good, and we find the ability to allow for business continuity to be very helpful."
 

Cons

"They are working on the improvement we're looking for. The web GUI is flash-based and in around one or two months, they will put everything on HTML5."
"In summary, this is a good product but it is very expensive."
"Most of the organizations I see are going to the cloud and they escape the physical architecture to minimize investment in their local data center as much as possible."
"The price needs to be improved because it is really expensive."
"The graphic interface is complex, especially on the management and administrative side, requiring multiple steps for configuration instead of simple clicks in the console."
"One area needing improvement is to facilitate Oracle database restores using the GUI on the NetBackup Appliance."
"Sometimes, the user interface doesn't work smoothly."
"It's difficult to make a switch with the tool because the actual physical storage doesn't work with anything else."
"The technical support services could be better."
