Featured Reviews

Stavros Samiotis - PeerSpot reviewer
Restores files accidentally deleted by developers and efficiently blocked a lot of attacks against our servers
The backup, the vulnerability assessment, and the anti-malware capabilities have been most impactful for data protection. Acronis approaches cybersecurity holistically, focusing on five key pillars: * Protection * Detection * Response * Recovery * Forensics It covers the need to block threats, investigate incidents, and ensure disaster recovery. This approach aligns well with current cybersecurity trends, including backups and deploying Malware Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems alongside Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) systems. While it doesn't yet include features like password management or security awareness training for end-users, Acronis has announced plans to integrate those in upcoming updates.
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.

"The product is stable and has good performance. The product is scalable The solution is easy to set up."
"From a security standpoint, it provides robust protection to prevent system crashes and data loss."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature for me because I can manage backups and teams in one console."
"Replication without network changes."
"It hasn't given us any issues so far."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"I've found flexibility to the most valuable feature. I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."
"I like the fact that it gives you the possibility to set the data out of the customer on-premises site and to have an off-site copy in your Cloud Data Center."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
 

Cons

"The reporting could be improved. I would like to see some enhancements in that regard."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly."
"What's lacking in Acronis Backup Cloud is a unified dashboard or console that lets you see the backup status of all clients."
"​For you to actually see the full logs, you have to use additional tools or even contact support so they can pull them with own tools."
"Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing."
"In the solution, you have the customization option for reports but it is limited and should allow more customizations in terms of how long or when you can do the reports."
"I think the pricing part of the solution is very complicated, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's provisioning of packages and how they are charged could be improved."
"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."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"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."
"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."
"The solution could improve the stability."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
