Featured Reviews

Mohamed Naeem - PeerSpot reviewer
Has ensured reliable data protection and quick recovery across various industries
The features of Acronis Cyber Protect that I find most useful for my customers are the Vault, data protection, and the ability to protect and access data anytime with the Vault feature. The AI-based antimalware feature in Acronis Cyber Protect is very effective in preventing cyber threats. AI is a good asset in protecting cybersecurity because it provides inception into threats and how to react with them before securing. It is very important and a great asset as a feature. 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. Users can gain access to their data anytime. My future work will require mobility, so cloud-based access to data will be very beneficial.
Charles Daou - PeerSpot reviewer
Great backup that's user-friendly and very reliable
The initial setup is very straightforward. It is easy. There are no great difficulties when setting up the solution. Even the configuration is simple. The deployment itself takes only a couple of days. It only takes one person to install it. You do not need a big team. We had an engineer manage it. The product does not require any maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high."
"​I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. ​"
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality."
"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."
"It's a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"The deployment is quite simple. Users are generally happy because of the familiarity they have with the features. The solution offers good transparency for the end-user."
"I've found flexibility to the most valuable feature. I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."
 

Cons

"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"Because Acronis Backup is an on-premises solution, there is extra overhead. It's harder to manage, and there's no real remote access. You have to physically log in to the machine to manage it. The reporting feature works fine, and you will be able to send out reports. However, that is where it stops. The deployment could be improved and could be through a network chain. If we need to deploy two machines that are not connected to the internet but connected to two different networks, it would be great to have a machine with dual mix that has access to the backup server and to those machines. It would be like a relay that you can install on the machine with a two-mix, and that machine can then connect to your backup server and to the other machines. You should be able to see the other machines on that network and be able to deploy to it and push jobs to it."
"At this stage, Acronis Cyber Protect helps me to overcome nothing because it actually caused more problems than it solved."
"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."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is. For instance, in the enterprise version, we can only use one accelerator with the cloud provider. It means if I have my Cloud Connect, I cannot connect another site of mine with another cloud connect and use an accelerator of Veeam. They should change this."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."
"The solution needs to be more scalable. There should be no reason to set up Veeam Cloud Connect and have 10 servers in order to have a cloud backup. The initial setup could be easier."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable. However, it depends on the storage that you use. It would be great to have a package that we can use up to a certain size of the backup, this would allow us to know what the price is going to be up to that capacity."
"When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."
"It is very cost-effective for the SMB segment, especially for start-ups and smaller environments. It is cost-effective for on-premises and on-cloud deployments in such environments."
"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."
"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."
"The tool is cheap compared to other products."
"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
