Ensures swift recovery from ransomware attacks and improves business continuity
The best features Datto SIRIS offers are ease of use, competitive pricing, and great support, which stand out for me. The ease of use of Datto SIRIS comes from the all-in-one control panel, making it very easy to use and handy to have compared to other solutions I've used. Datto SIRIS has positively impacted my organization by improving business continuity; after a ransomware attack that took down our main server, using the bare-metal recovery, we were up and running within the day.
Ahmed Handal - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced data retention and recovery with robust backup features
The Oracle Agent and Oracle RAC support are valuable features; they are crucial for taking backups and cloning applications. NetBackup Appliance has many features. Backup Exec is a great product as well. NetBackup is well-developed with strong features, including deduplication technology, which allows us to retain backups for longer periods—exceeding our expectations by keeping backups for almost a month. It's effective for data recovery and capable of handling large-scale data recoveries. It is very stable and keeps applications secure. However, the AI integration is not yet tested.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Since I started using Datto SIRIS, the time to recover data or servers has improved significantly; before, restoring a file or server was very long with the normal backup system, Datto reduced the time much more when I needed to recover a file or a machine."
"We rarely need their help. I would give their technical support an 8.5 out of ten. We are satisfied."
"The Veritas NetBackup Appliance is convenient because it’s a portable device and doesn’t require a lot of additional hardware or licenses like VPN solutions."
"There are a lot of new features that operate to protect the data from ransomware attacks. They launched the Veritas/Appliances to protect our data. Veritas has been doing its job well."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance fairly covers our enterprise requirements and supports all our databases and operating systems."
"The most valuable feature is that the backup and restoring process is very fast."
