“NetBackup Provides Reliable Enterprise Backup but Lags in Security Feature Integration”

Apr 16, 2026
I have dealt with the NetBackup product for over 20 years across the various ownership changes from Veritas to Symantec and now to Cohesity. The technical support and service I have received over the years has been one of the best vendor experiences I have had.

“Understanding NetBackup: A Powerful, Yet Complex, Backup Utility”

3.0
Aug 27, 2024
One of the most difficult Backup Solutions I have worked on so far. The setup, administration, and maintenance are comparatively difficult. This solution is not for beginners for sure. You should have a pro-level knowledge of the product before working on it be it an implementation engineer or an administrator. Once you have obtained enough knowledge, NetBackup can easily deploy and perform the administration. The best part of the product is the status code it generates for each event. If an error occurs, the admin/engineer can easily find the root cause and troubleshoot it by looking at the glossary of status codes. Once you have a properly configured setup, NetBackup can bring you the best Backup and Restore experience.

    Cohesity NetBackup - Worth Your Time and Consideration

    4.0
    Nov 10, 2025
    Overall very pleased and happy with the Cohesity solution. We went through a lengthy evaluation and vetting process. Originally, we were leaning towards another solution, but Cohesity shined when it mattered the most - Live testing. Every member of the evaluation team selected Cohesity as the solution that best fit our requirements.

Cohesity NetBackup Likes & Dislikes

Like

The NetBackup product remains the class leader in the traditional enterprise market, backing up everything from the oldest flavors of Unix and Oracle databases to the most modern container and Kubernetes platforms.

Like

Each backup/restore related error is displayed with a status code. Using the status code, the admin can identify the root cause and recommended actions to fix it. Integration with Tape Library. The operations on the tape library can be handled by NetBackup without the need to access the management interface of the tape. Hotfix and Server/Client version upgrades are easy using the deployment policies. Veritas provides.sja files to perform bulk upgrades.

Like

Features like Kubernetes cross-platform on premises and cloud CDP low impact Backup Elastic Cloud Autoscaling

Dislike

It has taken NetBackup a while to integrate security features such as immutability and ransomware protection. These are foundational to other products.

Dislike

Client Installation Procedure is a little bit difficult. Java Admin Console UI should be better in the latest releases even though there is a web console to do the same operations.

Dislike

There are significant costs involved with backup and DR, and it can get overwhelming. push for subscription licensing model
