Veritas NetBackup has a very good GUI which helps even a novice in the field of backup, to know clearly what backup jobs are currently going on, which jobs got successfully executed and how to schedule a new job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GUI sometimes work very slow over intranet. Moreover, its software for GUI should be available on Linux based PCs as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to have a more user-friendly interface for recovering data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As most will know this range of Symantec products were an industry standard for back ups.

This means that there is a great deal of knowledge and resource material around for this well established solution. This also means that many IT professionals have also come across this either in their current role or in a previous position.

I like the way you can chain jobs together - setting one job off when another has completed.

It's also not too expensive and easy to administer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When using tapes as the backup media - There are many options regarding data retention and overwriting periods. It is easy to get in a muddle so getting things planned out is a must.

A well thought out back plan is essential prior to embarking on a new system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've used multiple backup tools till date, and nothing is comparable to Veritas NetBackup. The features supported by NetBackup are huge ranging from Database level backup to File system backup, VM Backup etc., and are highly customizable with script based policies/ intelligent policies which will reduce the manual efforts of backing up database/ file systems/ data at any stream.

Veritas customer support has come along way since leaving Symantec. Quick response and great troubleshooting skills.

Capability to monitor the backup server remotely was a great feature added in Backup Exec 16. By adding this feature we are now able to have software loaded on our desktops that connect directly to the Backup server without having to log directly into the server to perform daily operations.

Patches fail to install. Each time a patch is distributed the patches fail to run via Live Update and must always be manually done.

I think that Veritas could work on the customizable reports. Currently I am unable to pull a quality report that I can produce and give to C level Managments that give a true picture of the environment. I would also like to see if they could incorporate a dashboard through a API for NOC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Manageability. The enterprise level heterogeneous backup and recovery is the main benefit. The software is built with cross-platform backup functionality, we implement it in our Windows, UNIX and Linux shop with minimal administration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance at times. Upgrades are a risky process, and seems to be every couple of weeks. When creating incidents, tech support wants you on the latest patch. The cost for renewals are expensive. It seems the product was more stream line when it was with Veritas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
