Encounter challenges in troubleshooting but experience efficient customer support
The application itself is a bit bloated. Although it has a lot of features when it comes to troubleshooting, we don't basically know where to start even though we do give them the log files to troubleshoot they don't give us a proper solution set. So I would say because it's bloated, it's a bit more difficult to troubleshoot where you get certain errors. From my side, on the POC I didn't really need to do much. 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. So on a day-to-day basis, you don't even maintain it, you just forget about it. You get alerts, but usually in between. It's quite easy to manage. To be honest with you, since I didn't really test that option of Acronis Cyber Protect, it's supposed to make everything feasible and easy to manage but I never got the option of testing it out, so I cannot really say at this stage.

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

"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."
"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."
"I've found flexibility to the most valuable feature. I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."
"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."
 

Cons

"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"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."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"We would always support better pricing."
"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."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"Doesn't back-up from KVM."
"Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."
"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."
"The tool is cheap compared to other products."
"The pricing is significantly higher than it was last year, which is understandable since they have introduced new technology, such as transitioning from backup to cybersecurity."
"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
