Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"The licensing model is very good."
"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"We would always support better pricing."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Stability."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
