Clear license visibility has reduced waste and guides current software spending decisions
We often communicate with the technical support of Flexera One, and they are providing a good service to us. We are raising cases for the SKU-based library of Flexera One. Suppose there are SKUs which are not recognized. We raise a case with them asking if they could please recognize this SKU or add this SKU to the SKU library. We are in touch with them. Suppose we are not understanding any feature of Flexera One, then we are asking them for a one-to-one call. They interact with us and easily tell us things which we can understand. I will give it a 10 for the technical support of Flexera One on a scale from one to ten.

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

"The feature that I find most valuable in Flexera One is the discovery, which is crucial from an ITAM point of view to capture the entire environment and all the software installed in my customer's environment."
"In my opinion, the best features of the product are that it is precise, the SKU library contains all the products and it rightly associates all the use rights and the licensing that is required, and the analytics feature is helpful in strategic decision-making because it adequately and appropriately gives you the reports."
"So the solution has a really great licensing module, and they're constantly keeping up with the newest trends."
"I recommend it highly."
"Flexera One helps us maintain a clear picture of our finances, showing what software we have purchased this year and what we should purchase next year."
"Sometimes I see cost savings in excess of 40 to 60 percent, with resources also in the same percentage area, depending on what the use case is and how much work and preparation was put into actually designing it appropriately for the use of the tool, as the more that had to get cleaned up or adjusted, the percentages could certainly even increase more."
"The best feature of Flexera One is the latest feature about AI, which really impresses me because I can log into the Flexera One portal, click on the AI, and ask it questions."
"I like the way that Flexera connects our contracts to our purchases."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"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 is quite stable, and we haven't had any problems over the past five years of use."
"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."
"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."
"It excels in performance and delivery but they are quiet on the market."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
 

Cons

"Sun Solaris server discovery needs to be improved. Apple Mac OS was not supported fully."
"The first and foremost aspect that could be improved about Flexera One is its capability for customization. It is not easily customizable, and if Flexera One does not have an integration available for different tools and publishers, then creating a custom integration or custom compliance for that particular publisher becomes very difficult."
"Flexera One does not have an agent for it, so it can't report on mainframe usage."
"They could improve their reporting. I'd particularly like them to allow you to schedule it."
"One area that could use improvement is the deployment of Flexera agents."
"Flexera One is an amazing tool, but I feel the UI could have some more upgrades and look a bit more modern with all these applications coming up."
"The customer support is fairly decent; it could be better in terms of the quality of answers provided."
"While it shows various configurations regarding where my server and VM are placed, it does not indicate how many licenses are needed or how the calculations are performed."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good."
"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."
"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."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"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."
"Other people will prefer this solution because they're used to it. However, from my point of view, you have more breaks, more failures on it than you will with Commvault."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was certainly on a par with the price we were paying for Snow License Manager. It wasn't overly expensive."
"I can say that from a price perspective, you can go for FlexNet Manager if you have a very small environment."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"The program is quite expensive."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
