A scalable solution for backup and restore that has an easy setup
The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems. There's no other way around it. Recently, we have also faced RDS and print server issues. One of our clients experienced some remote desktop service issues. These things keep happening with Microsoft. They have a patch, and then they have some other rollout that fixes it. The solution should be more consistent with its patching updates.

The solution can be used for DR testing and allows running an infinite number of full backups
When we consider the backup model of other products like Veeam, their incremental backup just adds to their first full backup. With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements. With my cloud version of Veritas System Recovery, I can have a full backup every month, which is not possible with any other vendors. Other vendors will claim that the original copy is strong enough, but the customers have to ensure that bugs won't cause any problems in the future. However, with Veritas System Recovery, you can run a full backup this month and again run a full backup on the first or thirtieth day of the next month.

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 includes leaving the stub files behind and integrating that with the recenter feature."
"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."
"The stability has always been very good."
"The solution has good scalability."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"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 installation was straightforward."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"You can back up the whole image."
"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."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
 

Cons

"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."
"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."
"I think the solution itself keeps up with everything else. Sometimes it would be nice if they could move a little bit quicker and have faster updates, but in terms of the features, it's absolutely fine and adequate."
"It needs an easier interface."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"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."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution could also be cheaper."
"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"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."
