Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu
We use Veeam Data to back up our VMware infrastructure Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance. The support team provides answers whenever we need them. It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with. The…
Daniel Ogola - PeerSpot reviewer
The appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Continuous Data Protection is a game-changing technology."
"The tool is fast and trustworthy."
"The monthly reports come complete with graphs and summaries, it's really helpful."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"Replication Job base on a source HPE Catalyst store to perform a full reconstruction of our production systems on our third datacenter, which is our DRP Site."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its ease of management, it is not complicated, it is very reliable, has good support and a lot of knowledge on the market for integrators."
"The tool's stability is good."
"With regard to our operational requirements, Veeam is very good because it's so user-friendly."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
 

Cons

"The remote SQL server has had multiple sizing issues within the logs and SQL backup space and sharing with other database apps."
"When you have some small issues, you should be able to go through it by yourself and solve the issue instead of opening the ticket and waiting for the engineers to troubleshoot."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It could be simpler to use."
"The only improvement I could think of is it could be cheaper—cheaper is always good. Sometimes the product is just finished. Cheaper is always nice for the customer, but the company needs to benefit so that they can keep maintaining the product. New Windows versions, etc., always take some work. At the moment, I wouldn't switch to another solution because of the money."
"The Cloud version is not ready, they need maturity and ease of deployment in terms of management."
"Creating reports is a bit difficult, and you have to spend some time on it."
"There is a lot of information, so maybe the dashboards could consolidate it."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"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."
"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."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"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 technical team wasn't very helpful."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"This is not an expensive solution. It's on the cheaper side."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is a cost-effective solution"
"I would rate the pricing six out of ten when compared to other competitors."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper. Technically, it saves you a lot of money. If you wanted to buy the same functionality out of vSphere, you would spend thousands to essentially get the same functionality."
"The license is a bit expensive."
"I think the price is good when you choose the Essentials Suite, but when you buy a full featured version (for instance the Enterprise Plus) the price is a little bit expensive."
"It is reasonably very cheap. I would rate the licensing model a one out of ten, where one is very affordable and ten is extremely expensive."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"The program is quite expensive."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
