Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance
One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features are its ease of use, the speed, and its got a reasonable amount of granular control."
"Data protection and ransomware protection are the most valuable features of the solution."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."
"The agent, which is installed on the system, can do Quality of Service."
"The solution has helped us maintain the backups, compliance, and integrity of the data residing on the servers and endpoints."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that its console itself is user-friendly."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"I would recommend anybody to buy this solution and use it."
 

Cons

"The solution should increase its security features."
"I would like to see more mature XDR and EDR features."
"Technically, the product is good, but the pricing and technical support are not ideal."
"We'd like to see more integration for Nutanix, Oracle, et cetera."
"The solution's provisioning of packages and how they are charged could be improved."
"We've had some troubles with the data center."
"On the client-side, the antivirus engine was slowing down their finance server terribly."
"There could be some changes done to the action page to simplify it."
"They should review the cost aspect of the subscription for Veritas Alta SaaS Protection because customers are going for the cheaper storage, which doesn't give those features in terms of dedup ratios."
"Other people will prefer this solution because they're used to it. However, from my point of view, you have more breaks, more failures on it than you will with Commvault."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
