Arctera System Recovery Reviews & Product Details

This is the former V2i Protector, and then Veritas/Seagate/Symantec/Backup Exec System Recovery. I liked very little about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was difficult to use, and barely improved over the years I used it. I kept getting improvements promised, but few were forthcoming. I have not used the latest incarnation of the product, so I am not aware of any improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VSR is a very easy to use and affordable solution for server and desktop backup, in case of hardware failure it allows you to restore your system to an alternate location with ease, it provides full system recovery as well as granular level recovery to restore a particular object.

Depending on the type of configuration you can also select the specific date and time from the recovery point of the object to be restored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The VSR is very good software, but there is some glitch in software that some time it dose not clear the backup sets automatically, we have to manually delete the backup set, or its goes on filling the space Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vertias System Recovery is an okay system for backup and recovery. I do like the option to back up certain folders on a server instead of the entire server which isn't needed in all cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The error messages you receive when the backup isn't successful aren't always clear. You have to research to see what the fix is. Sometimes the Veritas Knowledge base isn't that helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how intuitive the interface is in finding quickly the data that needs to be restored. Takes no time at all to get everything back where it belongs! Would highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Price point is a little steep compared to some other solutions, but the intuitiveness makes it worthwhile. Kind of like the old saying of getting what you pay for, it's not worth cutting corners when it comes to data restoration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Restore anywhere: is one of the greatest features in Veritas which helps the users restore any physical machine or even virtual machines from scatch with a click. Since this is cloud based, it works from anywhere in the world.

Control what to restore: Veritas allows control over granular objects such as files, folders and/ or application specific files and even logs, and the user the can simply decide on what all shall be restores excluded the objects which are not required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a pretty solid platform, however, it lacks security in some spaces. One of such space is securely storing snapshots in Veritas systems. Backups can easily be taken but storing them and then encrypting them is another challenge. This is currently not possible via Veritas which I think is a miss.

I like that Veritas System Recovery provides a single unified solution to recover from downtime or disasters in minutes. It is also nice that it can restore physical and virtual machines to bare metal or totally different hardware altogether. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest issue with Veritas System Recovery is that it does not work well with databases and database snapshots. Restoring the operating system and flat files is one thing, but being able to protect individual database snapshots would improve the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Veritas System Recovery is a single integrated solution that facilitates enterprises to recover and recuperate from downtime in a few minutes. The best part is their patented "Restore Anywhere technology," which rapidly restores all the required data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Veritas system recovery has no significant cons, but It is expensive, so some small businesses may find it slightly intimidating to buy this solution. The recovery speed can be somewhat slow in a few instances, but that is a sporadic occurrence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to recover system state and reliable solution.

Earlier we were using one different software but this is more reliable.

Like previously we use veritas cluster a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not see anything to dislike. Cost wise may be my higher management know. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Works in the background. I hardly even notice that it is there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes keeps me from getting where I need to go Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a unified solution and works without installing any other solution, in both cloud and on-prem. Compared to its competitors, Veritas gives a lot, offering good recovery quickly with your system requiring the minimum RTO and RPO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Veritas has shortcomings when it comes to the protection of databases and has security vulnerabilities. Veritas is not integrated with all the platforms and so database snapshots become tricky to be protected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
