Ease of use, performance, availability, and scalability

The initial setup is very easy, user-friendly, and not complex. It mostly comes with all installed, an operating system, database, and security, all included in Power Systems. So users can easily install, configure, and use it. It's integrated with other systems. You can run different systems from IBM Power Systems, AIX Linux, or IBM I operating system. It's also integrated into Windows systems and other databases and servers.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is very easy and user-friendly."

"Disaster Recovery Services is stable."

"The solution works well for very large organizations. It can scale quite well."

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

"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."

"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."

"It has a user-friendly interface."

"You can back up the whole image."

"Offers good recovery quickly."

"The installation was straightforward."

Cons

"Disaster Recovery Services could provide better value for money."

"Stability could always be better."

"The infrastructure level of IBM's recovery systems could be improved."

"The reliability is sometimes lacking."

"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."

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

"It needs an easier interface."

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

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

"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."

"The pricing could be cheaper."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Disaster Recovery Services is expensive."

"The pricing of the solution is based on the scale of the project or business. It's based on the server amount and the amount of data being stored. For our client, based on the amount of data they have, it may be around $20,000 USD. It could get much more expensive on the customer side."

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
