Customer service is good but needs improvements in regional support and availability across time zones for urgent issues.
Most cases are handled perfectly.
Applications section Head at Raya Integration
I would rate their technical support a 10 out of 10.
Sr. Production Analyst at a logistics company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The escalation from first, second to third tier is sometimes very long-lasting, but the resolve rate is quite high.
Managing Director at INT/box GmbH
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.

Veritas Alta Data Protection is not expensive, which makes it scalable.

There are no issues with stability in Veeam Data Platform.
Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
I can say the stability of Veeam Data Platform is almost 8 to 9, as the cluster functionality was not there in earlier platforms such as version 12, but is provided in version 13.
Associate Technical Specialist at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
 

Room For Improvement

Users seek improved integration, better reporting, enhanced support, streamlined interface, licensing simplicity, faster recovery, and increased compatibility in Veeam.
Veritas Alta Data Protection requires user-friendly upgrades, simpler interface, AI file restoration, and better documentation and reporting tools.
The improvement we would like to see is the option to scale Veeam Data up in smaller sections rather than large sections, which requires paying much more.
L3 Infrastructure Engineer at Specsavers
Reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.
Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future.
Applications section Head at Raya Integration
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.

Setup Cost

Veeam Data Platform offers reasonable, customizable pricing with per-CPU socket licensing, low setup costs, and competitive discounts.
Veritas Alta Data Protection is cost-effective due to discounts, offering competitive features despite being typically 20% more expensive.
I don't consider the price expensive given its importance.
Sr. Production Analyst at a logistics company with 1,001-5,000 employees
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Veeam Data Platform is more expensive than OpenStack because we pay for it in US dollars, while we pay for OpenStack in Egyptian pounds.
Applications section Head at Raya Integration
Since we have been using Veritas Alta Data Protection for the last four years, the price is very friendly.
Assistant General Manager System at Transasia Bio-Medicals Ltd.
Regarding the pricing aspect, we received a pretty good discount when we started onboarding all of our backups to Veritas Alta Data Protection.

Valuable Features

Veeam Data Platform excels in reliable backups, efficient recovery, VMware integration, and advanced monitoring for effective data management.
Veritas Alta Data Protection offers robust ransomware defense, seamless cloud integration, automation, cost efficiency, and multi-cloud protection capabilities.
The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.
Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
The most important aspect of this platform is data security with immutable data in the storage.
Sr. Production Analyst at a logistics company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The backup for specific disks feature has helped me by allowing us to take backups specifically for data we need, rather than for the whole server as a single disk, such as just backing up the root disk.
DavOps at a university with 51-200 employees
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 Transasia Bio-Medicals Ltd.
The best feature Veritas Alta Data Protection offers is integration with existing hyperscalers or virtual platforms as well as integration with current computing platforms, where we can see this working well with our existing scenarios.

Associate Technical Specialist at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection
Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

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.
