Vinoth Thangavelu - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
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

"We can block certain ports and USB ports for data loss prevention."
"The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature for me because I can manage backups and teams in one console."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features are the automated backup, and that you are able to manage all of your devices centrally."
"The solution has helped us maintain the backups, compliance, and integrity of the data residing on the servers and endpoints."
"We can use the tool to set up an automated backup from our on-premises server directly to the cloud."
"The product is stable and has good performance. The product is scalable The solution is easy to set up."
"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 feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality."
"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."
"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."
"In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"Replication without network changes."
"One of the most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect is it does not require the use of an extremely fast internet connection for it to work. The backup process is automated which is great."
 

Cons

"The Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud server could improve by having better performance."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud needs to be more flexible with its pricing."
"​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."
"The platform's interface could be user-friendly."
"It will be good if Acronis can provide more documentation and videos describing how to do different things. Their documentation is good, but it is without examples. They don't have lots of videos. They should put more videos on YouTube to show how to set up certain things, how to restore, and how to back up. They should provide step-by-step documentation and videos for specific scenarios. I would like them to improve the command line feature. The command line is not working smoothly, and there is some problem with it. If the command line is improved, it will take the product to the next level. It would be great if it can back up data from storage so that people are able to back up old data. Such a feature will make it an enterprise solution for a full backup."
"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."
"We'd like to see more integration for Nutanix, Oracle, et cetera."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"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 pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
"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."
"Doesn't back-up from KVM."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the product falls under a medium range."
"The solution is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies."

"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten. You don't have to pay any additional costs."
