Automation has reduced backup overhead and simplifies multi-cloud protection and disaster recovery
The biggest advantage of Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot is that it is agentless, which means Dell manages the platform by reducing maintenance effort and operational overhead. It protects workloads across cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure through a single user graphical interface, and it automatically protects new workloads while reducing manual backup admin tasks, which in turn minimizes human errors. Automation in Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot helps define protection policies such as which resources to protect, when to take snapshots, how long to retain them, and where to copy them, effectively creating and managing snapshots and their retention. The solution does help to streamline IT operations by providing centralized visibility into backup operations, audit logs, and recovery readiness through Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot, which also assists administrators in monitoring protection status.

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:
 

Pros

"In terms of ROI, I would say that Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot saves backup admins between 10 lakh to 20 lakhs per annum, providing a strong ROI by automating protection policies and lowering operational costs."
"It is easy to restore VMs in the cloud."
"Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot has a positive impact by reducing downtime and giving us confidence in recovery."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"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."
"It offers general business continuity and disaster recovery for the industry."
"It excels in performance and delivery but they are quiet on the market."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
 

Cons

"Regarding scalability, I find that while Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot offers multi-cloud scalability, it is not one of its strongest features."
"However, it depends on the customer's use cases and whether they really want to spend that much money and time on it."
"One area for improvement with Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot is the reporting dashboard."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"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."
"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 usability of the solution isn't the best."
"Technical support can be improved."
"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."
