Room For Improvement

NetApp AltaVault needs enhancements in capacity, integration, monitoring, user authentication, and bug fixes for improved efficiency and support.
Veeam Data Platform needs better support, automation, plugin enhancements, lower pricing, and improved scalability, security, and technology integration.
Reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.
OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future.
Compared to IBM, Veeam Data Platform is simpler but brings some challenges with automation in backup and Oracle backup configuration.
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise buyers find NetApp AltaVault competitively priced, offering flexible payment options despite varied annual costs from $3,000 to $375,000.
Veeam Data Platform offers cost-effective, flexible licensing with minimal setup costs, making it attractive to enterprise buyers.
I believe it is not expensive; it's the regular price.
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
Veeam Data Platform is more expensive than OpenStack because we pay for it in US dollars, while we pay for OpenStack in Egyptian pounds.

NetApp AltaVault enhances data management with cloud integration, encryption, deduplication, easy setup, and cost-effective storage solutions.
Veeam Data Platform offers seamless integration, user-friendly design, reliable backups, encryption, scalability, and comprehensive tools for efficient data recovery.
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.
The most important aspect of this platform is data security with immutable data in the storage.
The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.
Veeam Data Platform provides me with the most useful features such as application restore, single file restore, backup and replication, and continuous replication.
