Simplifies backup, restore, and clone management across disparate applications and infrastructures
It's a simple solution to use. It's simple to configure everything that you need — configure your backups. It gives you an option to backup to the cloud or backup to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage. For example, if a customer is running on Azure NetApp files or on something cloud-based that they want to back up, they have the option of bringing their own licensing and cloud controls and NetApp will give them the storage to back up for as long as they want. When deleting backups, the controls are very intuitive so not just anyone can delete the backups, only the administrator is able to do that. Backing up and restoring is simple. It's easy. It's one click of a button. It's quite good, I like it.

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

"NetApp SaaS Backup is a good product that serves multiple purposes."
"It gives you an option to back up to the cloud or back up to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage."
"I would recommend it because it makes it simple to manage backups from Office 365."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"NetApp SaaS Backup is a good solution and I recommend it."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity in configuration and use."
"Over the time that we have used it, NetApp SaaS was a good solution and it performed well."
"The most valuable features are the support for both NAS and NFS."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"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 solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on and has compatible features."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"I would recommend this solution because it covers the total scope of Office 365."
 

Cons

"There are several things that cannot be backed up as a full system, but rather only as a shared file. It isn't compatible with all applications and databases."
"The features need to be updated to support the latest hardware, as it changes every year."
"I would like to see the graphical user interface improved to include all of the functionality because there are some things that you need to use the command-line interface for."
"For newcomers or people who have less experience, it's a complex solution that could be simplified somewhat."
"There are still a few things on SharePoint that they need to correct in terms of how they backup and restore."
"Better integration with third-party databases and applications is needed."
"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."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"Licensing has been a struggle."
"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."
"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."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
"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."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing was based on a three-year subscription and the price is good compared so some other vendors."
"The pricing is more or less the same as what we'd get from Veeam on Office 365, so it's fine."
"My understanding of the costs is that the price is fair, and not too expensive."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"The program is quite expensive."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
