It involves acquiring additional licenses as needed.

reviewer2666283

Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

I would rate the scalability part of Veeam Data Platform 10 out of 10 because we have the ability to scale out the product at any time with scale-out backup repositories and can add licenses as needed.

JitendraSadaye

Associate Technical Specialist at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees

Room For Improvement

Acronis Cyber Protect requires improvements in interface design, compatibility, scalability, integration, performance, support, documentation, and security measures.

Users seek improved integration, better reporting, enhanced support, streamlined interface, licensing simplicity, faster recovery, and increased compatibility in Veeam.

We are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.

ArunKumar24

Chairman at ONGC

It's only after we discovered there was a compatibility issue with the application that the client was running that we actually had to do a lot of log file shipping to Acronis themselves and getting solutions because of other problems.

SameerMogale

Independent Business Owner at 3Kay Solutions

Having something such as a community for peer-to-peer interaction would be a valuable asset.

Mohamed Naeem

Responsible for Internet Technology Development at College of International Transport & Logistics - CITLC

For more quotes and insights, download the Acronis Cyber Protect report

The improvement we would like to see is the option to scale Veeam Data up in smaller sections rather than large sections, which requires paying much more.

Edward Hore

L3 Infrastructure Engineer at Specsavers

Reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.

reviewer2666283

Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future.

Tamer Hossam

Applications section Head at Raya Integration

Setup Cost

Acronis Cyber Protect offers flexible licensing and reasonable ongoing costs, providing value and cost-effectiveness for smaller environments.

I would rate the price as nine out of ten.

Mohd Fahim

IT Specialist at Ramton Technologies Pvt Ltd

For more quotes and insights, download the Acronis Cyber Protect report

I don't consider the price expensive given its importance.

reviewer2730012

Sr. Production Analyst at a logistics company with 1,001-5,000 employees

A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.

reviewer2666283

Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

Veeam Data Platform is more expensive than OpenStack because we pay for it in US dollars, while we pay for OpenStack in Egyptian pounds.

Valuable Features

Acronis Cyber Protect offers a user-friendly interface, comprehensive protection, cloud integration, and secure backups with advanced cybersecurity features.

Veeam Data Platform excels in reliable backups, efficient recovery, VMware integration, and advanced monitoring for effective data management.

The biggest benefit of Acronis Cyber Protect for my customers is that it is a great asset to protect business data and ensure data is in a secure Vault.

Mohamed Naeem

Responsible for Internet Technology Development at College of International Transport & Logistics - CITLC

The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy.

Mohd Fahim

IT Specialist at Ramton Technologies Pvt Ltd

This is beneficial because any backup package stored in the cloud is not free, and if it shrinks well, it allows users to pay less for cloud storage.

Ronald Walther Domjan

IT Manager at HASNER TECNOLOGIA

For more quotes and insights, download the Acronis Cyber Protect report

The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.

reviewer2666283

Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

The most important aspect of this platform is data security with immutable data in the storage.

reviewer2730012

Sr. Production Analyst at a logistics company with 1,001-5,000 employees

The backup for specific disks feature has helped me by allowing us to take backups specifically for data we need, rather than for the whole server as a single disk, such as just backing up the root disk.

Comparison between Acronis, Veeam and Azure?

This comparison is going to be short and sweet. Azure is ok but if you use Azure hot or cold storage, be aware that the cost could be a killer DimenXional Currently uses VEEAM because the cloud appliances we purchased came with a VEEAM license. The product is easy to use but here again, they are less expensive solutions. I tried Acronis and the problems we had were all based on internet speeds. The initial backup of a 1TB drive took several days. That is just too long I can tell you that DimenXional will be offering a BaaS and DRaaS later this summer. Its called WatchDog-BaaS and WatchDog-DRaaS. We will be using Wasabi hot and cold storage which is 80% less expensive than Azure, AWS, Rackspace, and lots of others. WatchDog-BaaS is being built to go toe to toe with Carbonite on local workstations/laptops/etc, as their interface is ugly and the product support is nasty WatchDog-DRaaS is our Virtual offering.

Reliable image backups have protected our HMIs and simplified on‑premises recovery

We have not tried the vulnerability assessment feature yet because we have a different set of protocols for our cybersecurity. We conduct audits and plug the gaps as part of our security approach. We are not using AI with the anti-malware from Acronis; we are using it only for backup and recovery. On the backup and restoration side with Acronis Backup, some on-premises AI features which can detect anomalies may be something which would improve the product significantly. Otherwise, we are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection

Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.
