It offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots. It allows for automated VM protection during processes like failover and testing, and it offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites.

An easy to maintains solution useful to manage daily backup and the restoration of backup files
I don't see any scope for improvement in the product since it is a well-established solution. My company has not faced any production-related issues with Veritas System Recovery, as it has stayed quite stable in our environment. The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required. The documentation and reporting areas also need to be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
"The generalization of the journals allows us to go back in time and choose the snapshot suitable for us. We can grab it as needed."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."
"It has a user-friendly interface and configures and integrates nicely with other products."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"The installation was straightforward."
"You can back up the whole image."
"The best thing about this product is that it's a unified solution and doesn't require the installation of any other solution, whether it's in a virtual environment, or on-prem."
 

Cons

"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."
"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."
"Although we can change the IP address, it would be good to have some other sort of orchestration to make life easier to manage when we failover."
"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."
"There is a problem with the solution's architecture. First of all, it requires double the resources on the virtual environment to set up one environment."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."
"The biggest challenge we faced was attempting replication between two different kinds of storage systems, like IBM on one side and Dell EMC storage systems on the other, before opting for VPLEX."
"For most organizations these days, their main concern is to protect their database and I think Veritas could make some improvements in that regard."
"It needs an easier interface."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"This is an expensive product."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."
"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
