The IVR system should be reduced so that customers can reach support directly, as when someone calls, it is typically for a critical technical issue and the call should connect directly to a representative.

Assistant General Manager System at Transasia Bio-Medicals Ltd.

This is a challenge for me, especially since I work in APAC, and whenever we engage with Veritas technical support, I must wait for someone in the United States to be available to help with our issue.

Delivers cost-effective data backup with room for search improvements

Senior consultant at Azend A/S

The challenges I face especially are those I've mentioned, that finding some specific data in N-able Cove Data Protection is not as easy as it is in some other systems. You cannot just search for something—you need to know where it was and when it was there to restore it, plus it would be nice to take out data from Microsoft 365 in some portable format, which is currently not an option. I would like to extract the data from Microsoft 365 in a portable format, something like a database or maybe just to take out a PST file or SharePoint and Teams files to the file system. Especially in these times, where we discuss potential risks with the Microsoft cloud for European companies, companies would want to know how to access their data from the backup if they suddenly don't have a tenant. I believe there should be the ability to take out data from Microsoft 365 in a portable format. I know that Cohesity is working on making such a thing. It's not there yet; I asked last week for something for forensics, and the support team said it's not possible yet, but I know from our technical account manager they are working on some solutions.

Cloud backups have secured critical data and have enabled fast recovery from ransomware threats

Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group

I do utilize the automated policy-driven operations with Veritas Alta Data Protection. They have helped in reducing manual workloads because manual intervention is required to handle errors or backup job failures when trying to back up a particular AWS account where critical resources are deployed. Discovery takes a lot of time because we are backing up data already in the S3 buckets. We often face challenges with resource discovery because discovery does not happen once a month; it happens daily. Every day, the discovery job runs before backing up resources. We may encounter issues in discovery or related to permissions, meaning if we have backup permissions on a bucket but further intensive permissions are present on any particular file, the Veritas Alta Data Protection job will skip that file. At times, backup fails with one or another error, and manual intervention is definitely needed. It is predominantly automated and policy-driven, but manual intervention is also required sometimes. We tested the effectiveness of Veritas Alta Data Protection's granular restoration feature during POC because we had a requirement to test various scenarios like restoring the bucket in a particular region, restoring the bucket in a different region, restoring EC2 instances, restoring containers, and databases. One more crucial feature for us in selecting Veritas Alta Data Protection is having replication between Veritas Alta Data Protection clusters. Once the primary backup job is complete, Veritas Alta Data Protection runs an SLP job, which is a storage lifecycle policy. This SLP job moves or replicates the data from one Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster to another. If the Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster goes down, the data is still replicated to the other Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster.
