Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think you should go for it as this is one of the best backup solutions available in the market. Over the years it has developed leadership in this area and they have added more features and functionalities from time to time. It will also help you if you are looking at disaster recovery options. You got all the features and options to support your backup and recovery requirements. Be careful if you have very specific backup requirements. You need to check if this is available in the netbackup or if any option would take care of your requirement. The graphical interface is very useful and good interface with command line. The help available is sufficient to cover common day to day issues and are easily available on various portal/forums. I would suggest you to take support from the vendor for initial support and then engage NB administrator for day to day support. Overall an excellent product to go with.

Reliable solution for the enterprise
What do you like best about the product?
It is fast and it is VERY reliable. It can handle anything from small backups (megabytes/terabytes) all the way up to several petabytes. The tool is very configurable, but unlike other tools, it retains the ease-of-use that drew me to Veritas in the first place. We started using the de-duplication feature and found it very useful as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Technical Support has improved slightly over the past few years, but it is still rather confusing. It would be nice if there were a centralized dashboard as well. The user interface in general needs an overhaul. We also had some struggles when utilizing this backup solution with HyperV clusters.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tapes are slow and costly. This saves us loads of time every time we use it and allows us to easily get the backups co-located at other sites. The fact that netbackup comes WITH a de-duplication tool is awesome.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it! I don't think you'll be disappointed. Do your due diligence as there are some pretty good "up and coming" pieces of software that may be able to complete with Veritas NetBackup, but at the time of this review, it was a clear choice.

The NetBackup interface could be more user friendly and able to be more intuitive.

Make sure you need this level of enterprise backup system but if you do, this is the product.
Sturdy Tape backup Solution
What do you like best about the product?
I am a database guy and daily deal with Db backups and came across multiple tools which directly backsup data to tape, since I started dealing with Netbackup, I found it useful, easy to use, configurable and most important reliable. Reliability is the most important factor when dealing with backups and restores and in last 4 years of it;s usage I never faced any issue while recovering a backup. it do what it is designed for. Other useful factors are it has de-duplication features, policy controls, various scheduling options, long term backup retention possibility, etc. it's definitely a industry standard for backups and compete strongly with other solutions out in market.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that,
-It doesn't provide end to end encryption for Db backups, not sure about file system.
-It has retry feature but it still fails with Exit code 1 and there is no way to get it overridden, I dislike this because in my system, failures are linked with tickets so even after retry if it succeeds, ticket will still come to me and I hate that seriously

Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you are an administrator (database, windows, storage, application, etc.) and your requirement is to backup everything to tape and would like to override the disk at middle layer then consider Netbackup in POC/estimation analysis because this is very useful and reliable utility which can backup and restore and with incorporating virtual tape library, recovery can be faster as disk recovery. This tool has graphical interface which is very useful and works well with command line, the help available is sufficient enough to cover most common and day to day issues and available on Symantec own portal/forums. I have done backups and recovery ton times and 99.99% went through without any issue. There are few caveats and fallback too but it all depends upon environment to environment and that is where testing and proof of concept is required.

What do you dislike about the product?
User interface is not very modern, and HyperV support is not as comprehensive ans VMware.
There are few challenges to overcome when backing up HyperV clusters that require VMM to work-around.
That makes the solution a bit less flexible, and depended on VMM for successful backups of VMs.
