Cloud backups have strengthened ransomware recovery and now protect critical business data
I see several areas where Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery could be improved. First is the architectural design and configuration, along with operational maturity, as well as security integration. The performance of support can definitely be improved with easier on-call support features for P1 and P2 incidents. Getting quick support from the vendor during major recoveries or disasters would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, improving the strength of ransomware protections, addressing critical gaps in deployments, enforcing backup immutability policies, and making disaster recovery testing routine instead of an ad hoc process are important. Validating that I can quickly recover data should be a priority, and improved runbooks or operational maturity platforms would be beneficial for data recovery from critical incidents.

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 most valuable feature of this solution is that it is simple to use."
"From a backup and disaster recovery perspective, it has been a night and day difference."
"The recovery of data is the most valuable feature. The software backup, which is just a program that gets installed on a server, can back up to the cloud. You can install that on a server or PC, and that will simply back up a user's files and folders. If it is installed on the server, we just back up the relevant data. Recovering that, if there has been a malicious attack on a business or anything like that, has been invaluable in the past. The good features about that are obviously, if the physical hardware has a problem, then we can utilize the appliance, turn on the virtual machine, and carry on running the business while we put the hardware back and correct the issue."
"The best part is the possibility to spill over the lock-ups to the cloud and the spin-up part."
"What I like the most about it is that backups and restores are simple, straightforward, and clean. It does not require six people to get involved in order to do a restore or perform a backup."
"The most valuable feature is disaster recovery, where we have the ability to boot up VMs quickly in a disaster."
"For this particular client, the solution’s Critical Server Insurance feature that protects physical and virtual servers including Windows, Linux, VMware, and Hyper-V, was a very big factor as well. They have a bunch of physical servers, as well as virtual. The mix is predominantly virtual. They also have some NAS boxes that we back up using Infrascale."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to boot locally, as well as in Infrascale's cloud. This means that we can either do on-site failover or failover to their cloud."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"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."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"It has a user-friendly interface and configures and integrates nicely with other products."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"You can back up the whole image, not just files and folders, but the image from the server, and you can restore the whole image."
"You can back up the whole image."
 

Cons

"In terms of what I would like to see, it would be to make the solution available across multiple clouds."
"Having options to replicate between their data centers, once the data is offsite, would be an improvement that they could make."
"They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement by making the interface a little more intuitive when navigating to recover flat files or an old server."
"The customer was probably down for about three days; this was a very difficult situation for us to be in."
"User interface and navigation are also not that good."
"The problem is that sometimes you can use a lot of the bandwidth to upload files."
"The only point of improvement I can think of for Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is that the restore process could sometimes be easier to do and faster. A file-only restore or directory-only restore can sometimes take quite some time; however, a server restore goes fast."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"For most organizations these days, their main concern is to protect their database and I think Veritas could make some improvements in that regard."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"It needs an easier interface."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I appreciate their pricing. We went for this solution for its pricing."
"The appliances have different prices because of storage, size, and memory. For example, the older machines support more virtual machines, whereas the new one only supports one virtual machine. As we have purchased the later appliances, they have probably been a little bit more expensive because they have to be good enough to keep the business running if the physical server goes down. We learned our lesson from the one that went down when we tried to run products and it wasn't quick enough."
"You get unlimited clients and buy a bucket of space. In addition to the standard fees there were setup fees."
"The pricing is fair, and they are interested in working with MSPs as part of their market."
"It is super competitive. It is worth taking a look at it from a licensing and pricing perspective."
"They are incredibly fair and willing to work with their partners to make their pricing work for both partners and the end users."
"Our licensing fees are billed every four months."
"The pricing is pretty good and competitive with the market. The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others."
"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."
