Featured Reviews

Donna Boyd - PeerSpot reviewer
Reporting capabilities improve compliance and flexibility exceeds expectations
The mainframe need improvement. Flexera One does not have an agent for it, so it can't report on mainframe usage. Several people have suggested it as an improvement. One feature I would like to see in the tool is the ability to handle everything in one place. If not, it is what it is.
Daniel Ogola - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"I like the way it does its compliance. I like its discovery, and I like the fact that it keeps separate hardware and assets and provides easy accessibility to raw data."
"It is a stable solution."
"I recommend it highly."
"I like the way that Flexera connects our contracts to our purchases."
"So the solution has a really great licensing module, and they're constantly keeping up with the newest trends."
"The best thing about FlexNet Manager for my clients is its strong grip on managing licenses and ensuring they stick to their contracts."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"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."
"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 stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"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 duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"One area that could use improvement is the deployment of Flexera agents."
"They could improve their reporting. I'd particularly like them to allow you to schedule it."
"The mainframe need improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the purchasing module. There are things I would change in that. Also, the automation components, like having the contracts, scheduling, and notifications embedded into the application, which they've been promising to do since 2014."
"Flexera One does not have an agent for it, so it can't report on mainframe usage."
"The hardware and connectors in the product have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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