Veeam Data Platform's support team is highly praised for responsiveness, with minor issues noted in escalation and response times.
Their expertise and consulting are very good, especially for Indian business.
The escalation from first, second to third tier is sometimes very long-lasting, but the resolve rate is quite high.
Most cases are handled perfectly.
I would rate their technical support a 10 out of 10.

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is highly scalable and adaptable, ideal for SMEs, though some struggle with its pricing.
Sentiment score
7.5
Veeam Data Platform is highly scalable and adaptable, suitable for diverse enterprises but may have licensing cost implications.
Integration with other vendors is also seamless.
In order to scale Veeam Data Platform, we have to pay a lot more money.

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is stable, with reliable performance and occasional bugs, supported by regular updates and solid stability.
Sentiment score

Room For Improvement

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud requires improvements in UI navigation, support speed, pricing, reporting, usability, storage, recovery, and compatibility.
Veeam Data Platform needs better physical server support, cost optimization, and enhanced integration with storage, cloud, and user features.
I would like to see more mature XDR and EDR features.
The improvement we would like to see is the option to scale Veeam Data up in smaller sections rather than large sections, which requires paying much more.
Additional features expected in the next release to make it even better, most parts are on the way, and the AI integration should be improved.
OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future.
 

Setup Cost

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is cost-effective, scalable, offers flexible pricing, and includes a free trial with advanced features.
Veeam Data Platform is competitively priced, offers straightforward licensing, and is valued for extensive features and ease of management.
In India, the pricing of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is relatively low compared to other competitors.
I don't consider the price expensive given its importance.
Veeam Data Platform is more expensive than OpenStack because we pay for it in US dollars, while we pay for OpenStack in Egyptian pounds.
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
 

Valuable Features

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud provides versatile, cost-effective cybersecurity and backup solutions with easy management, scalability, and ransomware protection.
Veeam Data Platform ensures data protection with easy management, fast recovery, security, and advanced features for IT environments.
AI functionality enhances malware and threat detection by summarizing vulnerabilities, providing engineers with a direct idea about what needs to be covered.
The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.
The most important aspect of this platform is data security with immutable data in the storage.
The most valuable features in Veeam Data Platform are data resilience and data mobility.

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.
