Simplifies backup, restore, and clone management across disparate applications and infrastructures
It's a simple solution to use. It's simple to configure everything that you need — configure your backups. It gives you an option to backup to the cloud or backup to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage. For example, if a customer is running on Azure NetApp files or on something cloud-based that they want to back up, they have the option of bringing their own licensing and cloud controls and NetApp will give them the storage to back up for as long as they want. When deleting backups, the controls are very intuitive so not just anyone can delete the backups, only the administrator is able to do that. Backing up and restoring is simple. It's easy. It's one click of a button. It's quite good, I like it.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance
One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

"NetApp SaaS Backup is a good solution and I recommend it."
"It's a user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity in configuration and use."
"The interface, customization, and security are superb."
"NetApp SaaS Backup is a good product that serves multiple purposes."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"I would recommend it because it makes it simple to manage backups from Office 365."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"It excels in performance and delivery but they are quiet on the market."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on and has compatible features."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"There are still a few things on SharePoint that they need to correct in terms of how they backup and restore."
"I would like to see the graphical user interface improved to include all of the functionality because there are some things that you need to use the command-line interface for."
"The features need to be updated to support the latest hardware, as it changes every year."
"Better integration with third-party databases and applications is needed."
"For newcomers or people who have less experience, it's a complex solution that could be simplified somewhat."
"There are several things that cannot be backed up as a full system, but rather only as a shared file. It isn't compatible with all applications and databases."
"The program is quite expensive and I am not impressed by their technical support."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"They should review the cost aspect of the subscription for Veritas Alta SaaS Protection because customers are going for the cheaper storage, which doesn't give those features in terms of dedup ratios."
"Other people will prefer this solution because they're used to it. However, from my point of view, you have more breaks, more failures on it than you will with Commvault."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good."
"Technical support can be improved."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My understanding of the costs is that the price is fair, and not too expensive."
"The pricing is more or less the same as what we'd get from Veeam on Office 365, so it's fine."
"The licensing was based on a three-year subscription and the price is good compared so some other vendors."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"The program is quite expensive."
