Beneficial pricing model, user friendly interface, and many free features

The solution can be used for DR testing and allows running an infinite number of full backups
When we consider the backup model of other products like Veeam, their incremental backup just adds to their first full backup. With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements. With my cloud version of Veritas System Recovery, I can have a full backup every month, which is not possible with any other vendors. Other vendors will claim that the original copy is strong enough, but the customers have to ensure that bugs won't cause any problems in the future. However, with Veritas System Recovery, you can run a full backup this month and again run a full backup on the first or thirtieth day of the next month.

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 features are the notifications, which give us failure alerts for some infrastructure within the backup, and the reporting is excellent."
"The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication."
"If you have a lot of central sites and remote sites, you can easily set up the replication and make it easier."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its ease of management, it is not complicated, it is very reliable, has good support and a lot of knowledge on the market for integrators."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"The setup was quite simple."
"Pricing is fairly reasonable and not overly expensive."
"Veeam is quick, easy to work with, and its support for Microsoft products is good. They also provide adequate solutions for backing up Microsoft applications in the cloud, such as Office 365."
"You can back up the whole image."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"The installation was straightforward."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
 

Cons

"The direct SAN backup integration can be perfected by improving the snapshot removal mechanism and process from the storage volumes."
"They could improve the product's response times for technical support and enhance support for newer hypervisors."
"We have had problems with some jobs. For example, when we have a VM with a large SQL Database, sometimes we cannot adjust the time for transaction logs to back up and overlap time."
"There is a lot of information, so maybe the dashboards could consolidate it."
"My biggest issue with Veeam at the moment is how the backup reports are displayed. We use the SolarWinds integration to generate consolidated reports for monitoring purposes, but we aren't getting all the available data shown to us in the way that we want."
"It would be ideal if they could capture everything and then timestamp and back up everything up to that timestamp."
"Veeam Backup Replication is a bit difficult to use. If you have used other solutions such as Commvault, you will find it is much easier to use. Veeam Backup Replication does backups in a different way that is not as simple as other solutions. Doing backups of SQL Servers is much easier in Commvault. However, the difficulty could be the lack of experience I have had with Veeam Backup Replication."
"I would like to see a storage application in the next version of the product."
"It needs an easier interface."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When I did a tech refresh, we took out a subscription for the coming five years."
"It is approximately $4,000 to $5,000 for the purchase of the product and I paid an additional $2,000 for the renewal."
"The product is expensive."
"Customers require a perpetual license for the product. However, along with the license, they must also subscribe to the support service for one year or three years under a separate contract."
"Although our license includes support, we have only really used the support when we were using Veeam for Active Directory. The rest of the time, we find Veeam easy enough to use without paying extra support fees."
"The product is inexpensive."
"The licensing is the worst part of Veeam Backup Replication because for the more complex situations and it's quite difficult and complex. In particular, when mixing different requirements the licensing model is complex. For example, mixing a virtual machine backup and a file server backup in the same installation can be somewhat difficult and is expensive."
"Veeam Data Platform's pricing is affordable."
"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
