Effective data loss prevention and good for small and medium enterprises
We are almost ready to acquire ManageEngine Endpoint DLP Plus. We have a lot of tools. We currently use Acronis Cyber Protect and are looking at zero trust file transfer tools. We have hands-on experience with some tools and are continuously upgrading our infrastructure and security tools. We started with Acronis. I think we had McAfee before I joined, and then we switched to Acronis. We are okay with it. Price and features were the main reason you decided to go with Acronis. It is good value for the money.

Functional application availability
There are not many options available for AIX backup. They provide the agent for AIX, but it could be more mature, and they should improve that option. They also provide the AIX agent, which is similar to the Windows and Linux agents. Since we use AIX machines, we need to take backups of those machines. However, the options available in that agent are limited. Therefore, the new version should have improvements in that area.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A valuable feature is the user-friendly control management. I appreciate the integrated service, where just one agent and one virtual management are needed to handle everything. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support has been consistently excellent. The initial setup is straightforward."
"The tool's backup and cybersecurity features are good. I haven't had any complaints from any users. Everybody likes the XDR and EDR that it provides. The solution is simple and easy to use."
"Data protection and ransomware protection are the most valuable features of the solution."
"One of my favorite features of the Acronis backup product is the ability to replicate the backups. Backup data can be replicated to a second, third, or even fourth data source."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it can cover both the cloud and the on-prem devices."
"It covers the need to block threats, investigate incidents, and ensure disaster recovery. This approach aligns well with current cybersecurity trends."
"I have experience with the technical team of the product, and I feel that they offer good support."
"The update process is quite efficient. They send admin alerts one day in advance when updating data centers or products."
"The Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is easy to use and performing a recovery is easy to do."
"To do the actual backup configuration is also not too bad."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Application awareness is very good and the speed of this solution is good."
"The installation of Veeam Agent is straightforward."
"User-friendly data backup and protection solution for a Windows environment. The Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is very scalable, stable, and has good compatibility and integration."

Cons

"They should integrate the solution with Storage Area Network(SAN)."
"The Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud server could improve by having better performance."
"The speed of the backup process in the solution can be improved"
"The solution should increase its security features."
"They could support Linux OS primarily for servers."
"It could be a little more user-friendly. The technical support also should be improved."
"​The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic.​"
"I don't see any room for improvement in the solution itself, but their marketing could be better. Dealers and customers aren't aware of this product or the company, so maybe they should concentrate more on marketing."
"There really are no cons. The product simply has to maintain development to keep up with changes in the operating system."
"If they could let you can do replication to physical servers - a backup from physical servers and a replication to physical servers - that will be better."
"Interface could possibly be improved."
"I would like there to be more integration with other platforms."
"I can't think of anything that may be missing."
"While the Veeam agent is perfect, sometimes the agent doesn't install in Windows."
"We can't use tape for primary storage on Veeam."
"It fulfills our needs in terms of features. In terms of improvements, they can maybe improve its documentation."
