Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu

Helps reduce costs, saves staff time, and is flexible
Using Veritas Alta Data to copy data from on-premises to the cloud is easy. Veritas Alta Data is a premium product that requires minimal knowledge to use. It is flexible and can be used on Windows or Linux. With basic knowledge, we can implement the solution without any problems. Alta Data's immutable storage protects our data from ransomware by making it unchangeable and recoverable. Alta Data helps provide data protection across multiple cloud environments. The integration is smooth, so we can integrate between AWS, GCP, and Azure to move duplicate data to other locations. The anomaly detection extension is available in the 10.1 release and can be used for VMware backups. In a future release, it will be available for other workloads. With the addition of ransomware and anomaly detection to Veritas Alta Data, our clients are more comfortable knowing their data is safe. Alta Data is a premium product that requires minimal knowledge to get started. Alta Data frees up our staff time because they need to check the system in the morning, and if there are any backup issues, the longest it takes to resolve them is two hours. Alta Data helps reduce costs by freeing staff time to focus on other projects, saving the organization valuable resources.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It lets you verify a backup with the least amount of effort."
"Veeam replication gives migration tools/options for VMware."
"There are many valuable features, for example how Copy Job is controlling the band with accelerators. The Enterprise Manager is a valuable feature. There are many very useful features. We can push in the market, because we have an advantage over the other solutions."
"Its simplicity and the fact that it just works are most valuable. We kind of set it up and generally forget about it. It does what we need it to do in the background, and it doesn't involve a lot of management."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"WAN Accelerator helps tremendously with replicating our data because we have a large chunk of data that gets replicated between our two facilities."
"For virtualization it's perfect."
"It's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The ransomware protection feature and anomaly detection are the most valuable, and the ability to integrate new cloud workloads is also valuable."
"It is rather easy to replicate data across your cloud environment using this solution once you've done it a few times."
 

Cons

"The price could be lower."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having better integration with the cloud. Additionally, they do not have direct integration to S3 or Azure storage for the backups of the VMs. This feature would be beneficial because we have to go through the scalable repository which I do not like."
"It could use DR features similar to Zerto."
"This is an expensive solution."
"There is a lot of information, so maybe the dashboards could consolidate it."
"I have also been struggling with the storage and in some cases I need to move things due to performance."
"We try to compare Veeam with other solutions because we are the operations. Then we can give the answers for improvement which is the specific additional system features that other solutions provide."
"Veeam ONE could be improved if it had a better data recovery feature."
"Maybe a year and a half ago, during a backup, I had an updating issue with Java."
"NetBackup should be made more user-friendly, and a video tutorial should be created to help new users understand how to configure and use the solution properly."
"It would be nice if reporting was a bit easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't know what the costs are for sure, but I think that it's on a yearly basis."
"The price is a bit high."
"For now, I think the pricing of Veeam ONE is quite okay for any of the infrastructures, especially for those who want a backup system and a tool that provides monitoring services."
"It is not expensive and I would rate it five out of ten."
"It is relatively cheap."
"Compared to other enterprise solutions, Veeam Backup & Replication generally offers a competitive price point. However, there has been a noticeable and concerning increase in pricing, particularly in the year 2023. The rate of price hikes has been significant, with prices escalating three times during the first quarter of the year. This trend indicates a substantial shift in the pricing structure, which may have implications for customers and their budgeting considerations."
"Veeam ONE is moderately priced, where it is neither expensive nor cheap."
"They could work at providing a better price."
"NetBackup is 20 percent more expensive compared to the competition."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
