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

"The platform's most effective feature is quickly recovering virtual instances into a separate environment."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"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."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"Technical support can be improved."
"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 solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"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."
"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."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The additional cost is cloud storage, which the public cloud provider charges."
"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."
"The program is quite expensive."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
