More Veritas NetBackup Pricing and Cost Advice ยป 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."
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. For example, we had reduced by a factor of 40%, but our license only dropped by 5%.
During the annual review, when we asked them about our licensing, they couldn't explain it. It is very costly, but service-wise and overall, the Veritas NetBackup is a good product." "Veritas NetBackup is very expensive, and I think price is the main reason which some customers don't want to use this solution." "Pricing is good, under our budget, and flexible." "The licensing fees are expensive." "Our primary complaint about this product is that it is too expensive." "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." "It was on a yearly basis. "The price is okay." "Veritas NetBackup's pricing is a bit steep when compared to other tools. In most cases, Veritas themselves can't understand their own licensing." After we did that, we were also able to reduce our staff count. A lot of these issues revolved around Veritas' handling of VMware, which is why first we moved VMware off Veritas. We had daily issues that had to be looked into and resolved. The complexity of Veritas required a large staff to manage it. There is one more person who works with me mostly due to the fact that in case I'm not around, someone else knows what to do, but I'm the only one who is a full-time manager of Rubrik. One of the reasons for getting rid of Veritas NetBackup was the fact that at one point, we had the support staff with 12 to 15 people to manage Veritas NetBackup, whereas, with Rubrik, I'm the only one managing Rubrik.
I would like them to combine all the capabilities into one release." "It would be helpful, in future releases, if the solution could add WORM (Write Once Read Many) support right within the product." "It was very complicated, and it required a lot of work in terms of management. So, Veritas can do everything, but you basically need to run two products. Veritas doesn't have one product that does everything. We want a solution that can be scaled-out to back up our data quickly and efficiently." "Veritas NetBackup has been in the backup and recovery market for quite a long time, but somehow, from my own observations and from feedback from end users, its user interface is lagging behind other comparable solutions such as Veeam." "It is not very user-friendly." "The speed of restoring data could be improved." "Within their product lineup, they need to consolidate down to one product. We want another solution with maybe a backup server cluster to back up more data in one day. It takes one or two days, which is a problem. "You cannot tell what your costs are going to be by using the dashboard, which is something that should be improved." "We want a solution that can be scaled-out because our data is growing very quickly, and we aren't able to back it up quickly.
