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 documentation is very good. It's also easy to install Veeam Backup and Replication."
"Veeam Backup has many valuable features and every feature is different. I have created backups for file-level backup, VMware or hypervisor virtual machines, physical machines, and workstations as well. Every time, I learn something new."
"It's relatively easy to use and the ability to recover in a short period of time has been great."
"Sandbox feature is like a power tool for troubleshooting."
"The solution is easy to install and very stable."
"It's a pretty complete product."
"It helps with process restoration. With Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"I think the interface is 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."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"The installation was straightforward."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"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."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"You can back up the whole image."
 

Cons

"They need a better solution for backend storage."
"During the initial setup especially, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"Its price is higher than other solutions and can be improved. They can also change the version of the software more often."
"Veeam Backup is not enhanced. There aren't any enhancements yet and they are still using traditional methods for snapshots and to perform the backup, like many other vendors. Another improvement would be simplifying and integrating their software."
"Physical backup is always where room for improvement could be but Veeam has always stated they are not going in that direction."
"I have found that the reporting could improve in its structure."
"The tech support could be better."
"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."
"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 Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"It needs an easier interface."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"The cost is based on the number of core servers."
"The price of Veeam Backup and Replication is expensive."
"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"The subscription-based pricing of Veeam Backup Replication is competitive."
"Overall, I'm not happy with the pricing. The price could be improved. Every year, most vendors try to increase the price. It says it's being upgraded, but there's no improvement. The product stays the same, but the licensing costs are increasing."
"I have not used the resale license in our testing environments. Sometimes, our customers used the trial license for 30 days and so on."
"The software subscription model can be once a year, or every three years, or every five years."
"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."
