I reduce two hours of my day, as before Veritas Alta Data Protection I needed two hours to check our environments.

I'll give them a nine for how responsive they are in technical support.
Independent Business Owner at 3Kay Solutions
The help team is very helpful and they reply very fast
Associate Engineer Systems And Security at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
This is a challenge for me, especially since I work in APAC, and whenever we engage with Veritas technical support, I must wait for someone in the United States to be available to help with our issue.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
The IVR system should be reduced so that customers can reach support directly, as when someone calls, it is typically for a critical technical issue and the call should connect directly to a representative.
Assistant General Manager System at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
With Veritas Alta Data Protection, we are very satisfied so far, as the support is responsive and opening a ticket results in very quick returns.

Room For Improvement

Veritas Alta Data Protection needs integration, usability improvements, pricing adjustments, and enhanced user interface to ease transitions and learning.
We are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.
Chairman at ONGC
It's only after we discovered there was a compatibility issue with the application that the client was running that we actually had to do a lot of log file shipping to Acronis themselves and getting solutions because of other problems.
Independent Business Owner at 3Kay Solutions
Having something such as a community for peer-to-peer interaction would be a valuable asset.
Responsible for Internet Technology Development at College of International Transport & Logistics - CITLC
I want a very simple GUI which even an L1 engineer or L1 cloud engineer can understand and use with minimum supervision.
Enterprise solution architect at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Veritas Alta Data Protection can be deployed on multiple cloud providers, including Azure and GCP.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
The solution could benefit from some artificial intelligence features where we can restore files or get assistance from the AI side.
Assistant General Manager System at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

Acronis Cyber Protect offers competitive, affordable pricing with flexible, user-based models and minimal setup costs, ideal for SMBs and enterprises.
Veritas Alta Data Protection offers subscription pricing, considered costly by some, but includes discounts, consultations, and training value.
I would rate the price as nine out of ten.
IT Specialist at Ramton Technologies Pvt Ltd
I think it is not that expensive.
Associate Engineer Systems And Security at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
Since we have been using Veritas Alta Data Protection for the last four years, the price is very friendly.
Assistant General Manager System at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Customers do not receive the real pricing advantage because the distributor keeps a margin, and the vendor also keeps a margin.
Manager, Network Ict at Associated Motorways (Private) Limited
Regarding the pricing aspect, we received a pretty good discount when we started onboarding all of our backups to Veritas Alta Data Protection.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
 

Valuable Features

Acronis Cyber Protect is user-friendly, supports various platforms, offers robust backup, recovery, and integrates malware protection efficiently.
Veritas Alta Data Protection offers agility, ransomware protection, compatibility, cost efficiency, comprehensive reporting, and ease of use across cloud environments.
The biggest benefit of Acronis Cyber Protect for my customers is that it is a great asset to protect business data and ensure data is in a secure Vault.
Responsible for Internet Technology Development at College of International Transport & Logistics - CITLC
The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy.
IT Specialist at Ramton Technologies Pvt Ltd
This is beneficial because any backup package stored in the cloud is not free, and if it shrinks well, it allows users to pay less for cloud storage.
IT Manager at HASNER TECNOLOGIA
We tested the effectiveness of Veritas Alta Data Protection's granular restoration feature during POC because we had a requirement to test various scenarios like restoring the bucket in a particular region, restoring the bucket in a different region, restoring EC2 instances, restoring containers, and databases.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
The unique selling proposition includes automated policy-driven operations.
Assistant General Manager System at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Multi-factor authentication is enabled, ransomware protection is enabled, and all security checks have been put in place.
Manager, Network Ict at Associated Motorways (Private) Limited

Chairman at ONGC
Reliable image backups have protected our HMIs and simplified on‑premises recovery
We have not tried the vulnerability assessment feature yet because we have a different set of protocols for our cybersecurity. We conduct audits and plug the gaps as part of our security approach. We are not using AI with the anti-malware from Acronis; we are using it only for backup and recovery. On the backup and restoration side with Acronis Backup, some on-premises AI features which can detect anomalies may be something which would improve the product significantly. Otherwise, we are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.
RahulSharma8 - PeerSpot reviewer
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
Cloud backups have secured critical data and have enabled fast recovery from ransomware threats
I do utilize the automated policy-driven operations with Veritas Alta Data Protection. They have helped in reducing manual workloads because manual intervention is required to handle errors or backup job failures when trying to back up a particular AWS account where critical resources are deployed. Discovery takes a lot of time because we are backing up data already in the S3 buckets. We often face challenges with resource discovery because discovery does not happen once a month; it happens daily. Every day, the discovery job runs before backing up resources. We may encounter issues in discovery or related to permissions, meaning if we have backup permissions on a bucket but further intensive permissions are present on any particular file, the Veritas Alta Data Protection job will skip that file. At times, backup fails with one or another error, and manual intervention is definitely needed. It is predominantly automated and policy-driven, but manual intervention is also required sometimes. We tested the effectiveness of Veritas Alta Data Protection's granular restoration feature during POC because we had a requirement to test various scenarios like restoring the bucket in a particular region, restoring the bucket in a different region, restoring EC2 instances, restoring containers, and databases. One more crucial feature for us in selecting Veritas Alta Data Protection is having replication between Veritas Alta Data Protection clusters. Once the primary backup job is complete, Veritas Alta Data Protection runs an SLP job, which is a storage lifecycle policy. This SLP job moves or replicates the data from one Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster to another. If the Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster goes down, the data is still replicated to the other Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster.
