Featured Reviews

Vinoth Thangavelu - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective data loss prevention and good for small and medium enterprises
We are almost ready to acquire ManageEngine Endpoint DLP Plus. We have a lot of tools. We currently use Acronis Cyber Protect and are looking at zero trust file transfer tools. We have hands-on experience with some tools and are continuously upgrading our infrastructure and security tools. We started with Acronis. I think we had McAfee before I joined, and then we switched to Acronis. We are okay with it. Price and features were the main reason you decided to go with Acronis. It is good value for the money.
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

"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."
"The product offers very easy configuration capabilities."
"The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services."
"The disaster recovery feature."
"The most valuable features are its ease of use, the speed, and its got a reasonable amount of granular control."
"It is easy to use. I don't need any help to figure out how to do it. It is also very easy to install and upgrade. It is very simple and easy to use for restoring. It supports universal restoration. I can restore a full machine to another hardware with this, which is a very good feature."
"The most valuable features are the automated backup, and that you are able to manage all of your devices centrally."
"Disaster recovery is good."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"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."
 

Cons

"It could be a little more user-friendly. The technical support also should be improved."
"I faced some problems with the solution's local sign-in part."
"One of the areas where the product could be improved is its online cloud backup. I do appreciate the way the product is easy to navigate, however, sometimes I have difficulty managing the security permissions on my backups."
"Some proactive alerts or emails are not currently available."
"On the client-side, the antivirus engine was slowing down their finance server terribly."
"I keep submitting a request for more flexible reporting. I'd like to create custom reports in my own way, rather than just combining the pre-defined modules."
"The solution is expensive."
"​For you to actually see the full logs, you have to use additional tools or even contact support so they can pull them with own tools."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"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."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
"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 implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
