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:

"The data application is working well, and it does manage to match data when using the data option."
"In terms of data recovery, both the performance and reliability have been excellent."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"It offers general business continuity and disaster recovery for the industry."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
 

Cons

"There are limitations with new hardware where it does not support failover and does not support the three-star bank group."
"They should include the capability to back up on-premises environments."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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 solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The SaaS platform offers many benefits; the licensing structure is suitable for monitoring and controlling users' storage space."
"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."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"The program is quite expensive."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
