Positive impacts seen with improved data security and reliable support
I have six months of experience with the product, and as a consultant, the use cases for NetApp AltaVault mainly stand out for me. Regarding the deduplication feature in the product, I am interested in whether clients are using it. There are different integrations available with NetApp AltaVault, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and I want to understand how they impact data security policies in my case.

Ensures data protection and supports SAP consistency while reducing costs
Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering. It serves as a reliable solution for backup and reporting capabilities about the health of the backups. Even though I am not utilizing all tools and options, it meets my comprehensive requirements and allows backup of emails as well, making it a versatile tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our restore window has been cut by 10 times, from having to pull back from tape - I'd definitely recommend it."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"Having a solution there that can move data from on-premise into the cloud and back is a massive win."
"The dashboard is useful for managing data backups."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data, as you're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"You can store backups for a while."
"I recommend it to other companies due to its reliable solutions, significant cost reductions, and comprehensive functionality."
"I find Veeam to be a good tool for backing up Office 365 and virtual machine environments."
"Dealing with cloud solutions is simple and removes many headaches from troubleshooting and implementing the solution."
"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud’s most valuable feature is data backup and replication."
"The application backup is excellent, and using Veeam for backing up Kubernetes environments is a valuable tool."
"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering."
 

Cons

"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
"I don't actually use the solution."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"My advice is to stick with ONTAP and ownCloud because NetApp AltaVault is going to die."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"We have had issues getting to the right person, but once you get to the right person, they are knowledgeable."
"The initial installation is difficult for my clients who have it on both on-premises and on cloud."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"I do not have notes for improvements."
"Some of the prerequisites for Veeam are challenging."
"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."
"There could be a feature to take a snapshot for version backup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In one use case, and we have several, to run for a particular customer, the price is about $375,000 a year."
"It's quite cost-effective."
"It is a rather expensive program."
"The pricing is not too bad, but could be a little better."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution, which comes to around 3,000 USD."
"You could compare it to a Dell EMC or ECS, and I think it's probably a little less costly than that. Within the marketplace, it's a medium cost."
"The price is a bit high."
"The solution is affordable."
