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

"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."

"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."

"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."

"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."

"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."

"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."

"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature is its consistency."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"While there are some complexities, Veeam tries to keep the product simple and offers a good knowledge base. It's quite structured, so you can easily take one subject and learn about it simply by reading through the documentation."

"It hasn't given us any issues so far."

"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."

"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."

"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."

"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."

"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."

"Replication without network changes."

Cons

"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."

"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."

"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."

"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."

"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."

"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."

"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."

"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."

"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 solution could improve the stability."

"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."

"We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers."

"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."

"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."

"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."

"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."

"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."

"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 is significantly higher than it was last year, which is understandable since they have introduced new technology, such as transitioning from backup to cybersecurity."

"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."

"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."

"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."

"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 pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."

"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
