"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.""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.""You can back up the whole image.""The installation was straightforward.""It has a user-friendly interface.""Offers good recovery quickly.""The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent.""With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."

Cons
"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery.""Their restoration protocols could be better. I pulled all my clients out of their cloud mostly because I wasn't confident that they could restore out of the cloud. This was backed up by friends who had been burned by stuff like that. We moved away because of the lack of resources to restore from a potential catastrophic failure. It's challenging, and in some cases, they couldn't do it because they didn't have enough resources. For example, if there was a major disaster, and everybody needed their images out of the cloud, they couldn't give them to everybody."

"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot.""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 pricing could be cheaper.""The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""We faced issues with recovery and restoration.""It needs an easier interface.""The reliability is sometimes lacking."
