Pros & Cons summary

Veritas Alta SaaS Protection offers ease of use with comprehensive Office 365 module coverage and valued duplication and scalability. Users praise its stability and automated recovery, though technical support for specific implementations like Oracle is lacking. Backup relies solely on Veritas cloud, excluding others like GCP and AWS. Its licensing is complex, and performance issues, including job completion time, persist. Backup reports and dashboards, alongside implementation, need improvement. Features are sold as separate add-ons.

Prominent pros & cons

PROS

Veritas Alta SaaS Protection provides an easy-to-use experience with valuable features such as duplication.

Its scalability, especially in the hardware appliance, makes it very useful for businesses.

It offers complete coverage for all modules proposed by Office 365, which many competitors do not.

Users appreciate the comprehensive nature and enhanced security features, including an automated recovery feature that simplifies the restoration process.

The appliance is fully integrated with the cloud, supporting both hybrid and cloud environments.

CONS

Technical team was not very helpful, and support can be improved, especially when setup assistance is needed for specific implementations like Oracle or SQL servers.

There is a limitation in backup options, as only Veritas cloud is supported, excluding other major providers like GCP, Azure, and AWS.

Licensing has been a struggle with complexities and lack of sophistication, forcing customers into purchasing separate add-ons.

Performance issues are evident, especially in the time taken to complete jobs, and improvement in this area is necessary.

Customers face challenges in file recovery post-contract, as browsing files or recovering earlier versions is not supported by Veritas.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
