George Philippakos - PeerSpot reviewer
Backup process and monitoring become simple and effective while seamless instance recovery and cost optimization ensure business continuity
Policy creation is straightforward, with automatic backups of new resources enabled through tagging. Instance recovery is seamless, whether within the same VPC or across different VPCs. File-level restores are intuitive and easy to manage, while full VPC backups provide critical protection and peace of mind in the event of a disaster. In addition, lifecycle management and automated transitions to lower-cost storage tiers have been instrumental in optimizing costs while meeting compliance and retention requirements. The ability to create immutable backups further strengthens our business continuity strategy by ensuring an additional layer of protection against accidental or malicious data loss.
Sareesh V - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"We had a ransomware event in 2023, and we were able to recover every machine with minimal effort."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."
"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."
"Having multiple policies and schedules handled for me takes the burden out of managing backups across multiple departments."
"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"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."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"The installation was straightforward."
"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."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"You can back up the whole image."
 

Cons

"The GUI could be slightly improved."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."
"I would like to see native support for more AWS services beyond EC2 and EBS, such as full coverage of RDS, DynamoDB, and Redshift."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"Improved disaster recovery options and expanded multicloud support are two areas where N2WS has already made significant advancements in the latest version."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"It needs an easier interface."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"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."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."
"It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
"It's very economical and worth the cost."
"AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."
"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."
