Andrea Zanonepoma

Engineer at a renewables & environment company with 51-200 employees

Has reduced downtime by enabling fast recovery after ransomware incidents

The facility to use Datto SIRIS is a function that I prefer. The user interface of Datto SIRIS is very simple and very user-friendly. The restore is very fast. The alerts that arrive in my email are very complete. Reporting in Datto SIRIS is very efficient. The reporting via email from Datto SIRIS for me, my customer, and my team shows that every single backup is okay or if there is a problem because the snapshot for the server is broken or another problem that I can address systematically. 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. The cost for Datto SIRIS is very important. Using Datto SIRIS notably reduces time and introduces high-level security. Datto SIRIS positively impacts my organization by reducing downtime for the restore. The restore with Datto SIRIS is very fast compared to other solutions that I know.

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.

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."

"It has a user-friendly interface."

"You can back up the whole image."

"The installation was straightforward."

"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 solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."

"Offers good recovery quickly."

"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."

"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."

Cons

"The backup of the Mac OS solution in Datto SIRIS doesn't exist at this moment."

"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."

"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"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 pricing could be cheaper."

"The reliability is sometimes lacking."

"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."

"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."

"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
