With Veritas CloudPoint, you get the visibility and control from one intuitive central dashboard to confidently manage and easily orchestrate enterprise data protection for your business data consistently across the broadest range of applications and workloads, in both private and public clouds, helping you to transform your organization into a confident multi-cloud digital enterprise.
Our use case for Veritas CloudPoint is that it was implemented so our on-premises staff could continue to have the same look and feel as they started to back up virtual machines that were being built in Azure.
We leverage it strictly for backup and recovery, and we don't use it for any cyber event recovery or anything similar, strictly server backups.
The most valuable feature we've found with Veritas CloudPoint so far is the lack of a learning curve because the team was already familiar with all of the consoles and how to build policies. As they started to use it in Azure, they were able to continue doing things as they were used to doing them rather than having to learn a new tool.
The efficiency gain we've experienced is that we were able to start deploying backup policies to Azure without having to learn a new tool, even though there are arguments about overhead and granularity if one uses native Azure backup tools compared to Veritas CloudPoint.
I don't care for the pricing or capacity license model from Veritas CloudPoint because there are cases where we back up the same data multiple times, yet we still owe from a capacity standpoint based on how much data is managed in our backups.
Veritas CloudPoint does not currently utilize artificial intelligence for the backup or help with any AI initiatives.
My experience with Veritas CloudPoint spans the entire time that I've been here, which is 15 years.
My thoughts on the support for Veritas CloudPoint are that it's fairly decent. Usually, if we have an issue, we can open up a case and have an answer within a day or two.
I would rate Veritas CloudPoint support an eight on a scale of one to ten because there have been times when we couldn't access the portal, delaying our answers, but overall they're pretty good about it.

I am familiar with the initial setup of Veritas CloudPoint, but I don't personally set that up as the people who report to me handle it.
They had the setup completed in an afternoon, so I would say it's straightforward.
The deployment involved a small team. I have one person that primarily architects it, but there are three or four people that know and understand how to use Veritas CloudPoint.
So far, I don't see any return on investments since implementing Veritas CloudPoint.
We work in a cloud environment in the health insurance industry as a medium-sized business.
We're pretty happy with Veritas CloudPoint in terms of how we've used it on-premises over the years. Although we haven't really leveraged some cyber event recovery tools available in the new version yet, I think it's more about Cohesity or Veritas reaching out to customers to help them understand what tools are available to them.
I would recommend Veritas CloudPoint to others because if you have limited teams, it's a huge benefit to bring in a tool that allows you to start backing up your cloud environment without the need for extensive training on a new tool.
I would rate Veritas CloudPoint a ten because it's done everything it says it'll do, and we've really not had many problems with it.
