Manages virtual machine backups smoothly and simplifies restoration across environments
It is quite easy to manage AWS Backup's centralized console for multiple environments. The product's interface is intuitive. AWS Backup has a much higher price if you compare it with the snapshots. I have to pay for the whole environment by AWS. We have a backup solution with only virtual machines. The rest of it, we have a restore point.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance
One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. 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. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup."
"It's very easy to configure. Since it's a managed service, it's very straightforward to set up and use. And my customers get on with it very fast."
"AWS Backup is most beneficial because we can manage the service, centralize, and automate the data without missing any essential information."
"The solution's most valuable features are its backup capability and tight integration with other AWS services."
"When I was using an on-premises backup, there was an external hard drive or something like that. I had a backup server, but I had a few problems related to transfer when I had to restore something that I have deleted. I had to wait for after-office hours to do something like that, but now I just have to send a mail. Within one hour, I have my restored file."
"AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security."
"The snapshots we take through AWS Backup are very effective."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"I would recommend anybody to buy this solution and use it."
"The solution is quite stable, and we haven't had any problems over the past five years of use."
"I would recommend this solution because it covers the total scope of Office 365."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"It offers general business continuity and disaster recovery for the industry."
 

Cons

"If AWS Backup were a hybrid solution that also supported on-premises backups then it would be very helpful, especially if you are doing a migration to the cloud."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services. Currently, it only includes around ten services, while AWS offers over three hundred plus services."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"The restore functionality is an area that needs to be improved because right now, it is not very good."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract."
"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."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive."
"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"It's a myth that Cloud is cheap. Cloud is cheap initially, but the cost over time can be equal to your own infrastructure if you consume a lot."
"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"We don't use a lot of space, only approximately 900 GB, so the price is reasonable. For standing, it's okay. We normally do a payment to SSML, and they are the ones who pay over there. It is around $100 monthly."
"The pricing is decent."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"The program is quite expensive."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
