TABISH JAVED

Site Reliability Engineer (Certified) at Kyndryl India

Automated recovery has minimized downtime and supports seamless multi‑datacenter failover

Beyond pricing, there are areas where I would like to see InfoScale improved or enhanced. Veritas offers three management approaches. The first, which Veritas currently recommends, is Veritas Operation Manager. The second is the Cluster Manager Java Console graphical interface. The Cluster Manager Java Console has not been revised since version 6.1 or 6.2. This tool was critical for me, particularly valuable when managing small cluster footprints of 20 to 30 server nodes. I relied heavily on this tool, but Veritas has moved away from it in favor of Operation Manager. I recommend Veritas continue evolving this tool rather than discarding it. The third approach is the command line, suitable for individuals with extensive Veritas expertise and experience, but command line use in live environments consumed excessive time, leading me to prefer the graphical interface. Apart from pricing, I have not discovered disadvantages. The product is excellent. My concern is Veritas discarding the Cluster Manager Java Console in favor of Veritas Operation Manager. Setting up Operation Manager requires time and a dedicated server that runs continuously. I had to create a single server just for Veritas Operation Manager. While this works well for larger environments with hundreds of clusters, it is less useful for smaller deployments. I still recommend Veritas reconsider this application and evolve it by incorporating new features from Veritas Operation Manager. Adding these new features to the Java console would be beneficial because that tool runs on my laptop without consuming environment resources, and I can connect directly to clusters from my laptop. I am not opposing Veritas Operation Manager, which is excellent and resembles hardware management consoles for power machines, but smaller tools that previously performed these tasks should remain as options to provide clients with greater ease. From a features and functionality perspective, I do not find missing features in InfoScale at this moment. However, I am not actively using Veritas, managing only legacy machines on older hardware. I am upgrading operating systems but not Veritas due to contract expiration and end-of-life status. The contract is not being renewed because the customer wants to move away. Since I have not logged into VCS since 2021 and transferred responsibilities to another team, I am unaware of features arriving in version 8 or beyond and cannot comment specifically on recent Veritas introductions.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection

Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It offers High Availability for many applications, including Oracle and SAP environment."

"It integrates well with other solutions."

"The best feature in InfoScale is the file system, which is the greatest feature as you can get any storage LUN from any hardware because it's software-defined and create a volume that can consist of storage from two or more different vendors, which avoids any vendor lock-in and makes it easier when you expand as time goes."

"In a live incident scenario, the data replication process occurs in real-time, and compared to other products, this data replication feature works effectively, ensuring data availability, and we can implement this scenario using Veritas Volume Replication (VVR), which is the most usable feature in InfoScale for data replication."

"Over the last two years, we did not experience any application failover or receive alerts due to the immediate switchover mechanism in active-active mode that ensures no downtime, helping us significantly with confidence and trust in our organization."

"The best feature is that it supports high availability and automatic failover, which minimizes downtime and helps the environment reduce downtime and improve high availability for critical applications."

"From a recovery standpoint, InfoScale is excellent and easy to manage."

"InfoScale's ability to maintain data integrity and availability during a cyber event such as a ransomware attack is excellent."

More InfoScale pros

"Its stability and scalability were the main reasons for going for this solution. It is highly scalable, and its stability is also powerful. It has a friendly interface, and its monitoring and performance are the best in the market."

"The initial setup for a simple environment is very easy. We just do next, next, next, next for the installation. It can be complicated in a complicated environment. It can be simple for a simple environment. I enjoy installing it. It has a lot of features."

"Instant VM Recovery provides very fast recovery of our critical VMs."

"Veeam Backup & Replication is a great alternative to what is out there. Some of the backups just allow an agent backup to the cloud. You can back up a thousand different ways, but this is a great way to keep a customer and a company in compliance in that they've got their data secure onsite and offsite. The data being transferred to the NAS at the customer's location and also the data being sent to the cloud is encrypted in transit and it's also encrypted at rest so that nobody is going to be able to hack into that. No one will have the keys to do that."

"If you have a lot of central sites and remote sites, you can easily set up the replication and make it easier."

"The solution is easy to install and very stable."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is the ease of use."

"The most beneficial aspect of Veeam ONE is the ability to track your company's growth on a month-to-month basis. With this tool, you can determine if you need to purchase more target storage or if you have enough. This is essential for budgeting purposes, as, without this information, you may discover too late that you require additional storage or that your cloud usage is not aligning with what you are being charged. Veeam ONE aids in forecasting and usage analysis, making it a valuable asset."

Cons

"Many customers can see the benefits of InfoScale, but they are usually not able to buy the products and solutions because of the licensing costs."

"It could be more stable and more secure."

"The primary concern is licensing cost, as the customer is unwilling to invest further and has begun cost-cutting measures."

"While InfoScale is mainly used by enterprise-level customers, it does not inherently support many applications, which presents a scalability issue."

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is a bit expensive, but rather than that, because it is used in critical environments with no competitor, most of the customers go for it anyways."

"Many customers can see the benefit of InfoScale, but they are usually not able to purchase the product because the license cost is very high."

"Based on my experience with support, I would rate them a nine, only because occasionally the first person I talk to does not know more than I do and it needs to be escalated to reach someone more knowledgeable."

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing indicates that pricing is a little higher and should be reduced since most companies cannot afford it."

More InfoScale cons

"I would like to see the Veeam cloud solution and Microsoft Office 365 included all in one platform."

"It needs to offer an automatic check for backups."

"Could be improved with hybrid cloud integration backup."

"When in a domain, the virus can easily attack the Veeam server, something which happened to us."

"Veeam Backup Replication is a bit difficult to use. If you have used other solutions such as Commvault, you will find it is much easier to use. Veeam Backup Replication does backups in a different way that is not as simple as other solutions. Doing backups of SQL Servers is much easier in Commvault. However, the difficulty could be the lack of experience I have had with Veeam Backup Replication."

"Scalability needs to be improved in the solution."

"Since they don’t have any technical support center in India, I would like to rate it a 5 out of 10."

"Physical backup is always where room for improvement could be but Veeam has always stated they are not going in that direction."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our clients pay for licensing on a yearly basis."

"It is relatively cheap."

"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable. It is not inexpensive nor is it expensive, it is in the middle range compared to other solutions. There can be additional costs for addons."

"The product is expensive for small businesses."

"We pay for the license of Veeam Backup Replication on an annual basis. The cost of the license is approximately 70,000 rials. The support and maintenance are included in the price."

"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."

"It's the market price. It isn't expensive, nor is it cheap."

"I find the pricing to be okay."

"There is a license required for this solution and the price is a bit expensive but it depends on the environment that you have on how much it will cost."
