Veritas Alta Recovery Vault Reviews

My main use case for Veritas Alta Recovery Vault is to have backup for my Office 365 environment.

For my Office 365 environment, I have many scenarios where I use Veritas Alta Recovery Vault. A user left the company, and they need his PST files to be exported and attached to his replacement. Or in case they need to go back for a previous email from three years back, I can put some criteria to research for this specific email and restore it. Or I need to restore some OneDrive for some users, or chat for some meetings. There are many scenarios.

Veritas Alta Recovery Vault has a feature called Cases, so I can build my cases and put some criteria based on time, or sender, or subject. Based on this case, I can create it, run it, and export this specific case.

Veritas Alta Recovery Vault offers multiple best features. I can enable immutability to avoid any deletion by mistake or by ransomware attack for our backup. They also have a feature called ad-hoc search, so if I need to search for specific items, whether email or OneDrive or SharePoint site, I have multiple criteria to put whatever I want and search for specific items. I can restore some data to the live environment directly, or I have tools that I can customize and export something, whether PST or EML files or OneDrive files. They have many features and some analysis in case I need to see the increase of backup size and prepare for the renewal, or if I need to delete some backup to reduce the storage because I don't need to exceed my license.

Veritas Alta Recovery Vault has positively impacted my organization because in case some users left, I don't care if they delete their old archive files because I have backup for their emails or OneDrive, even SharePoint. If an administrator deletes the site by mistake, I can recover it. This takes a lot of headache off from the user perspective. Any data lost or removed by the users can be restored. If management asks for any data, it is available, so we are not relying on the data available in the user PCs.

I have seen many specific outcomes since using Veritas Alta Recovery Vault. The major benefit for us is that many users left, and the business did not tell us that their emails or OneDrive or SharePoint data or Teams is important. They just wake up after six months or one year, and suddenly they ask for their emails. With Veritas Alta Recovery Vault, we have good retention, and everything is saved. By enabling immutability, we can respond to the business needs without any issues, complying with the regulations. Even the headache is less; based on the staff number, we have a small support staff number, so we save a lot of support and maintenance time. While I do not have exact KPIs or metrics numbers, it saves almost 30% of our incidents and time.

I think Veritas Alta Recovery Vault can be improved by changing their license model and being more flexible. Currently, they are charging us for the size of the backup storage, while some other solutions claim to have unlimited backup storage. The pricing is increasing heavily. Since it is an enterprise solution, it is okay that it should be expensive, but they need to enhance their license model because they are selling only for a minimum of 1,000 Office 365 users. For a small environment, this is not applicable. Additionally, they are providing only 2TB per user, so I need to purchase extra storage since the default storage that comes with the normal user license is not enough. They need to enhance their pricing and licensing model.

The issue I face with Veritas Alta Recovery Vault is that if I need to move from their service to other solutions, there is no clear idea about the grace period to migrate the backup data to another solution, and it relies only on the user. This is also one more concern; if I want to go with them and buy their solution, I need to be careful because it feels like a one-way ticket.

I have been using Veritas Alta Recovery Vault for almost five years.

I chose eight out of ten for Veritas Alta Recovery Vault because of the price and the response time of support.

We are using Veeam for on-prem workloads and servers, and I am still using Veeam for on-prem, but for Office 365, I switched to Veritas Alta Recovery Vault.

I have seen a return on investment, especially in having fewer employees needed and big time saved.

The setup cost for Veritas Alta Recovery Vault is included with the license, but their pricing is a little expensive compared with other solutions.

Since we are a construction company, I find that I rely on email communications heavily, so I consider our backup using Veritas Alta Recovery Vault not just as an archive, but I can use it as an archive to keep backup for long retention. They have many advanced cases or features. They have good flexibility options to restore whether single items, or directly to the live environment, or export it manually and attach it to the user computers. Even they have some features to give access to the users to restore their items depending on the policy. They have a lot of features, and as a SaaS solution, there is no hardware or implementation. The backend connectors are implemented by them, and I only manage these connectors for the schedule, RTO, and RPO. The storage and the backup server are managed by them.

The content, the ad-hoc search, the configuration of the backup, the license, and the monitoring are all important features of Veritas Alta Recovery Vault. Even for SharePoint, in case I have a SharePoint expanding and do not have enough license for Office 365, I can enable the stubbing and rely on the SharePoint to be on the backup of the SharePoint. This allows me to reduce the live storage of the SharePoint and point it to the backup, so people can access their SharePoint sites and upload many documents without adding an extra license from Office 365, relying on this stubbing feature.

Regarding Veritas Alta Recovery Vault's AI capabilities, they have very good accuracy, with almost 99% accurate statistics or numbers. For reliability, I can rely on them; it is a very reliable solution. My overall rating for Veritas Alta Recovery Vault is eight out of ten.

I use Veritas Alta Recovery Vault for safety and recovery with a disaster recovery site for the customer, providing an entire copy from on-premises to the cloud. My experience with Veritas Alta Recovery Vault is sufficient for my needs.

The best feature of Veritas Alta Recovery Vault is that there is no cost to the traffic, which is important to discuss with customers because they have concerns about traffic and the costs involved.

Saving money is the best pain point to discuss with a customer, and we also have great reviews about improved customer satisfaction with the utilization of Veritas Alta Recovery Vault by our customers.

I believe Veritas Alta Recovery Vault can be improved by providing another front view for access, as we face some security insurance problems with only connections through the front-end on Cohesity.

I believe providing a report to verify how much data has increased or other types of reports to describe usage better would be beneficial, as we only have the total amount consumed. I want to reiterate that improving the reports is essential, as I do not have anything to verify about the data or types of files ingested, only the total usage amount.

Improving the reports is essential, as that feature seems to be missing.

I have been using Veritas Alta Recovery Vault for four years.

Regarding Veritas Alta Recovery Vault's security, I believe it works effectively because we use API to connect, and I cannot share this bucket with another solution or access, making security the best aspect of Veritas Alta Recovery Vault and a good feature to offer.

Regarding Veritas Alta Recovery Vault's AI capabilities, I find it very consistent and trustworthy, though I miss using the AI features as I only ingest data and make copies to another site.

I do not purchase Veritas Alta Recovery Vault through the AWS Marketplace, but rather through the Cohesity solution.

It is a good option to discuss with a customer because with Veritas Alta Recovery Vault, you can provide another site for disaster recovery without the main concern of managing traffic costs. I have rated this product a 10 out of 10.

We are a service provider for Veritas, and we have 20 customers using Veritas Alta Recovery Vault with some main buckets installed in Brazil, São Paulo. We use long-term retention and provide a disaster recovery site for customers who don't have another site for replication.

The best feature of Veritas Alta Recovery Vault is resilience because it has protection for ransomware, and you can use it with the immutability native option to protect this data, along with a predictive cost model. There are no cloud surprises about the cost.

The immutability feature of Veritas Alta Recovery Vault has helped me and my customers protect their data.

It is very important for us to protect data for a customer with Veritas Alta Recovery Vault because many customers in the past have experienced a data leak and have experienced some type of attack in their infrastructure. We provide this feature to protect all data of this customer today. It is a good point.

Customer trust has increased since using Veritas Alta Recovery Vault because we guarantee this data for this customer. We conducted a test recovering this data, and the customer is very comfortable with this protection and solution.

Veritas Alta Recovery Vault can be improved as it is a seamless tool for integration with infrastructure on-premises because you only need an API communication to send this data locally to reply to the cloud. The single pane of glass means there is no need to deploy complex cloud storage gateways or separate cloud proxy servers. It integrates directly into the core NetBackup engine using MSDP-C. We just need to attach this storage pool, and everything works to send the replication data from on-prem to off-prem.

The improvement needed for Veritas Alta Recovery Vault is to simplify multi-cloud redundancy with a single-click policy that handles cross-cloud because natively we can choose one region to replicate this data. This is abstracted from the cloud providers, and I just select in the front-end and create a bucket, while the back end directs me to AWS. I think that the involved cost to choose Azure or another cloud provider is a consideration.

I have been using Veritas Alta Recovery Vault for four years.

Veritas Alta Recovery Vault is stable in my experience. We need to change the region to improve access, but in a few days or months, we can use another region like US Virginia. It works well, but there is a bigger latency in this traffic. We need to change the region to improve the performance.

I believe that the scalability of Veritas Alta Recovery Vault perfectly meets my needs, as I only need to create an API and, after configuring that connection, everything works fine. Each bucket has 8 PB and the client only pays for the TB/PB consumed.

Our customer support for Veritas Alta Recovery Vault involves the customer talking with me or open a ticket issue. In most cases, the problem involves the traffic on client side.

It's very simple

I have seen a return on investment, and I can share that I have a fixed price for each bucket to provide to our customers, and we can do this in just a second.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Veritas Alta Recovery Vault is that it is the cheapest feature we can provide to our customers. It really is more than cheap to provide Veritas Alta Recovery than to provide hardware or another option in the cloud. The price is the best feature.

Before choosing Veritas Alta Recovery Vault, I evaluated other options by talking with the customer, and the only option we considered was using AWS or Azure for making a separated backup. but this represent more cost

The best advice I can give to customers considering using Veritas Alta Recovery Vault is not to worry about cost; there are no charges for data traffic, only for the value of the data consumed. Unlike any other cloud backup solution, with Veritas Alta Recovery Vault there are no price surprises. I would give this product a 10 out of 10.
