Featured Reviews

Stavros Samiotis - PeerSpot reviewer
Restores files accidentally deleted by developers and efficiently blocked a lot of attacks against our servers
The backup, the vulnerability assessment, and the anti-malware capabilities have been most impactful for data protection. Acronis approaches cybersecurity holistically, focusing on five key pillars: * Protection * Detection * Response * Recovery * Forensics It covers the need to block threats, investigate incidents, and ensure disaster recovery. This approach aligns well with current cybersecurity trends, including backups and deploying Malware Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems alongside Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) systems. While it doesn't yet include features like password management or security awareness training for end-users, Acronis has announced plans to integrate those in upcoming updates.
Daniel Ogola - PeerSpot reviewer
The appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is reliable and relatively easy to use."
"The update process is quite efficient. They send admin alerts one day in advance when updating data centers or products."
"The ease of implementation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services."
"The most valuable features are the automated backup, and that you are able to manage all of your devices centrally."
"The product has been very reliable from day one. The biggest advantage of the cloud is that you can scale up and down as you go along."
"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."
"It covers the need to block threats, investigate incidents, and ensure disaster recovery. This approach aligns well with current cybersecurity trends."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
 

Cons

"The solution is expensive."
"Reporting is not on par. It needs some more information as per customer or partner interest. I hope Acronis is working on it."
"We'd like to see more integration for Nutanix, Oracle, et cetera."
"It will be good if Acronis can provide more documentation and videos describing how to do different things. Their documentation is good, but it is without examples. They don't have lots of videos. They should put more videos on YouTube to show how to set up certain things, how to restore, and how to back up. They should provide step-by-step documentation and videos for specific scenarios. I would like them to improve the command line feature. The command line is not working smoothly, and there is some problem with it. If the command line is improved, it will take the product to the next level. It would be great if it can back up data from storage so that people are able to back up old data. Such a feature will make it an enterprise solution for a full backup."
"The speed of the backup process in the solution can be improved"
"Slow response from technical support."
"I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The tool needs to have better protection. The tool should be also able to take backups while users are offline and upload to the cloud whenever the internet connection is restored or if there is a good bandwidth."
"I would like to see more integration with SIEM solutions."
"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."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"They should review the cost aspect of the subscription for Veritas Alta SaaS Protection because customers are going for the cheaper storage, which doesn't give those features in terms of dedup ratios."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"Technical support can be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have been using pay as you go with Acronis, so the price is good.​"
"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten. You don't have to pay any additional costs."
