Pros
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable.""We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly.""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.""What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on.""The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature.""The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration.""I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope.""The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."

"I like NetBackup's anomaly detection and Linux storage features.""The troubleshooting is very good.""I like that it's enterprise-capable. It can handle multiple operating systems. It can handle multiple database types. It can handle a lot of different backup use cases. It's flexible.""Its ability to cover a large spectrum of products and operating systems is invaluable. We evaluated other products but always found certain limitations like some products had only intel-based virtualization, while others had power servers.""The most valuable feature is replication because, using NetBackup replication, we can have disaster recovery of the data we have.""The backup and restoration are 100 percent guaranteed.""It is easy to use, and you can run it with all kinds of client software environments. It works well with the most popular software, file systems, and operating systems. It is very useful to us.""The solution is stable."

Cons
"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.""In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines.""The usability of the solution isn't the best.""The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching.""The technical team wasn't very helpful.""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.""Technical support can be improved.""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."

More Veritas Alta SaaS Protection Cons →

"Main area that could be improved is the pricing, to make it more competitive""In the next release, I would like to have a better way to protect against ransomware attacks and a better way of logging issues where you don't have to enable the verbose logging to capture the problems.""The biggest additional features needed are more cloud capabilities and security from ransomware.""I would like to have support enabled for cloud backups.""The solution is not that stable because it has to be monitored and administered every day. The stability could be improved.""Like the other enterprise solutions, Veritas NetBackup isn't easy to implement. It's a little bit hard compared to other solutions like Data Protector for HPE. You have to struggle to learn a lot of features that Veritas NetBackup offers to customers.""The reporting of the backups could be better.""They currently have the Java concept and it should be less intensive and take less load."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The program is quite expensive."

  • "This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
  • "I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
  • More Veritas Alta SaaS Protection Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Licensing was very expensive and did not scale well if needed to move between license models."
  • "Smaller virtualized environments will want to stick to a traditional licensing model if possible. It will likely be cheaper, but it is a pain to manage all the individual licenses for each client."
  • "So far I can only say that the license structure could be looked at to be aligned as either capacity-based or traditional."
  • "If you have a complex environment with dozens of different servers and apps, I recommend you look for TB licensing."
  • "The software and license are very expensive."
  • "Pricing is pretty costly as compared to the other products but worth investing for the long term and high ROI."
  • "Acceptable if you need to implement it for larger environments, e.g. over 1000 clients. For smaller setups it might be too expensive."
  • "The licensing model is cost-prohibitive as you scale out."

    Overview

    Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is a comprehensive cloud-to-cloud backup and recovery solution designed to protect critical data and applications in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environments. With the increasing adoption of SaaS applications like Microsoft Office 365 and Salesforce, organizations need a reliable and efficient way to safeguard their data from accidental deletion, malicious attacks, and other data loss scenarios.

    This product overview will highlight the key features and benefits of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection. Firstly, it offers automated and continuous backup of SaaS data, ensuring that organizations can easily recover lost or corrupted data with minimal downtime. The solution supports a wide range of SaaS applications, including email, calendars, contacts, files, and collaboration platforms.

    Veritas Alta SaaS Protection provides granular recovery options, allowing users to restore individual items, folders, or entire applications as needed. This flexibility ensures that organizations can quickly recover specific data without the need for a full system restore. Additionally, the solution offers point-in-time recovery, enabling users to restore data from a specific date and time, further enhancing data protection and compliance requirements.

During the backup process, the NetBackup client sends the data through the network to the NetBackup media server, which chooses the appropriate storage media as the backup point.

    Veritas NetBackup is a trusted enterprise backup solution that integrates with many of today’s popular databases, such as Microsoft SQL, Oracle, Linux, Unix, and Microsoft operating systems. The solution is able to backup data to tape, disc, and public clouds and keeps the popular Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware hypervisors safe and secure.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Mahdi B., Solution Architect and IT Consultant at Merdasco - Rayan Merdas Data Processing, says, “Veritas integrates well with the cloud, all databases, all operating systems, all hardware, and all software. Veritas also has solid malware and ransomware protection features. From time to time, we face a new kind of attack, and Veritas has always proven to be the best protection solution for some of my customers. Our customers who have faced ransomware attacks were able to recover their data in less than one day without any stress. Veritas is ransomware resilient and because of its implementation, it is not dependent on the operating system to work. Most of the functions of the Veritas software are isolated from the operating system and it's not dependent on the operating systems involved. This is very important. When some of our operating systems are infected by a virus, Veritas still works perfectly and protects our data. This feature is very well implemented in Veritas NetBackup.”

    A PeerSpot user who is a General Manager at a comms service provider relates, “Veritas enterprise has many agents who perform the backup, whether it is a consistent backup or recorded backup. The solution has everything from the snapshot to the multiple database agents.”

    Mir-Ali, Infrastructure Manager - Oracle SCM at a financial services firm, shares, “It covers all kinds of different architectures. Plus, it's very user-friendly and it is very reliable. Reliability is the most important thing because once the backup is done, if it is successful, then we're sure that it was successful and we will be able to restore it.”
