Netbackup is suited for every environment like Windows, Linux, Suse, Red Hat, Oracle, SQL, SAP, MySQL, Mongo DB, VM, BMR.

For SMEs veritas would be an expensive solution because its an enterprise level solution may not be recommended for smaller organization. Backup administrator with high skill may requied for such solution which is also not affordable by them.

The product is very stable and proven in the enterprise environments. We have deployed the solution in multiple customers and have not had negative feedback. The vendor support is top class and very professional. The solution overall has options to be deployed in multiple flavors which allows the easy option in terms of planning the capacity or even Infra scaling.

Veritas NetBackup is well suited to backup huge NDMP workloads through multiplexing where tapes drives are less to accommodate, huge VMware workloads backup can be completed by leveraging SAN data transfer technology and CBT, ability to do exchange. Oracle and SQL backups even if backed up by VMware policy. Very well suited for dissimilar hardware physical server BMR restore. Flash backup for raw file system backup.

It is less suited for DFSR backups, less suited for large changes of daily data, dedupe is not integrated, rather depends upon additional license like MSDP and specific hardware, configuring AIR replication is also very complex.

Veritas Netbackup does work as it is described but sometimes there is some setup information that is not necessarily published or is hard to locate for proper setup. Support is mixed between America and outsourced locations. It is well suited for vm backups using accelerator which speeds up all the vm backups by not sending duplicate data to the storage location.

NetBackup is a great product for Enterprise Servers managed by a large IT department. It is not the best solution for individual users as it doesn't do the file syncs similar to Microsoft OneDrive. It does a great job of allowing the end user to manage his/her own file restores without having to wait for the Backup Administrator to be involved. However, full OS restores to a separate location are slightly more complex.

Veritas Self Service is a user-friendly and simple interface where the user can choose from the pre-defined backup policy.
For a new backup administrator, it may pose a challenge to configure advanced features, as to enable the features it requires to go in-depth into settings which are not easy to locate.

NetBackup is reliable but can get expensive to maintain

NetBackup is a good product. It is reliable. As our complexity grew with multiple hypervisors, multiple production data centers and needs around fail-over and high availability, the cost was increasing and we had to make a decision to change solutions. NetBackup, at least in our case, does not seem to compress its data streams very well and our backup cycles were growing to the point where one day might not always finish before the next day's jobs were scheduled to begin.

If your environment is a medium size I believe it works well. I have worked with other systems at larger companies and they fit well in that area. One thing I am disappointed on is the support from Veritas. The support is sometimes lacking and can get lost in the system. We rarely call support just because we have made it a point to learn all I can about the system.

As mentioned before NetBakcup is perfect for restoring a single item instead of being forced to restore a whole DB which in many scenarios is not ideal for the business. That way the business doesn't have to waist time with restoring a whole DB while it only needs access to 1 or two corrupted files.

Like most enterprise backup applications, Symantec NetBackup (NBU) suffers from complexity. Using and understanding advanced features can be challenging at times. Real world experience is needed to know if they are worth the time to implement. On the other hand I have found NBU relativity easy to use with a little training from just a simple backup scheduling and restore perspective.
