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.

A stable solution with good duplication capabilities and fair pricing
The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement.  I've been using the solution for five years. The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any problems over the past five years of use. Scalability is fine. We keep adding different…

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity in configuration and use."
"It gives you an option to back up to the cloud or back up to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage."
"It's a user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable features are the support for both NAS and NFS."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
 

Cons

"There are still a few things on SharePoint that they need to correct in terms of how they backup and restore."
"For newcomers or people who have less experience, it's a complex solution that could be simplified somewhat."
"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."
"Better integration with third-party databases and applications is needed."
"The features need to be updated to support the latest hardware, as it changes every year."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"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."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"My understanding of the costs is that the price is fair, and not too expensive."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"The program is quite expensive."
"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."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
