Clear license visibility has reduced waste and guides current software spending decisions
We often communicate with the technical support of Flexera One, and they are providing a good service to us. We are raising cases for the SKU-based library of Flexera One. Suppose there are SKUs which are not recognized. We raise a case with them asking if they could please recognize this SKU or add this SKU to the SKU library. We are in touch with them. Suppose we are not understanding any feature of Flexera One, then we are asking them for a one-to-one call. They interact with us and easily tell us things which we can understand. I will give it a 10 for the technical support of Flexera One on a scale from one to ten.

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

"I recommend it highly."
"In my opinion, the best features of the product are that it is precise, the SKU library contains all the products and it rightly associates all the use rights and the licensing that is required, and the analytics feature is helpful in strategic decision-making because it adequately and appropriately gives you the reports."
"It is a stable solution."
"So the solution has a really great licensing module, and they're constantly keeping up with the newest trends."
"Sometimes I see cost savings in excess of 40 to 60 percent, with resources also in the same percentage area, depending on what the use case is and how much work and preparation was put into actually designing it appropriately for the use of the tool, as the more that had to get cleaned up or adjusted, the percentages could certainly even increase more."
"I like the way it does its compliance. I like its discovery, and I like the fact that it keeps separate hardware and assets and provides easy accessibility to raw data."
"Flexera One helps us maintain a clear picture of our finances, showing what software we have purchased this year and what we should purchase next year."
"The feature that I find most valuable in Flexera One is the discovery, which is crucial from an ITAM point of view to capture the entire environment and all the software installed in my customer's environment."
"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."
"It excels in performance and delivery but they are quiet on the market."
"It offers general business continuity and disaster recovery for the industry."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on and has compatible features."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
 

Cons

"Flexera One does not have an agent for it, so it can't report on mainframe usage."
"Flexera One is an amazing tool, but I feel the UI could have some more upgrades and look a bit more modern with all these applications coming up."
"They could improve their reporting. I'd particularly like them to allow you to schedule it."
"One area that could use improvement is the deployment of Flexera agents."
"The biggest challenge I am facing is that Flexera One has a lot of data. It takes time to load and process."
"The mainframe need improvement."
"The first and foremost aspect that could be improved about Flexera One is its capability for customization. It is not easily customizable, and if Flexera One does not have an integration available for different tools and publishers, then creating a custom integration or custom compliance for that particular publisher becomes very difficult."
"Regarding the price, I feel the price is a bit high."
"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."
"Licensing has been a struggle."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The program is quite expensive and I am not impressed by their technical support."
"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."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I can say that from a price perspective, you can go for FlexNet Manager if you have a very small environment."
"It was certainly on a par with the price we were paying for Snow License Manager. It wasn't overly expensive."
"The program is quite expensive."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
