Reliable image backups have protected our HMIs and simplified on‑premises recovery

We have not tried the vulnerability assessment feature yet because we have a different set of protocols for our cybersecurity. We conduct audits and plug the gaps as part of our security approach. We are not using AI with the anti-malware from Acronis; we are using it only for backup and recovery. On the backup and restoration side with Acronis Backup, some on-premises AI features which can detect anomalies may be something which would improve the product significantly. Otherwise, we are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.

A reliable backup product which needs little management

For most technical users the setup and initial deployment are fairly straightforward and once deployed it 99% of the time looks after itself. Installation of the agents is similar to most other products in that it has an install wizard to guide you, the accompanying documentation is also very useful to assist wherever you are in the agent install and policy setup process. Normally our customers' IT team does the deployment of agents, however, this isn't a daunting task unless you are dealing with multiple servers to protect the product. On a server-by-server basis, the deployment doesn't take long. From the MSP side of things, the infrastructure sitting behind the scenes doesn't take too much to install, configure and maintain.

Backup has protected our office data and now restores individual emails while admins configure settings

Although Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is a Backup as a Service, it should give slight leverage to the admins to do more of their own configurations. When it comes to Software as a Service, we do need to agree on certain things, as we do not have much control over the software. If Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 can improve, it would be better. It could be slightly better, but it is acceptable. As long as support is provided in a timely manner, it is good. I cannot tell it is fully bad or fully good. If I were to give a rating of one to five, I might give 3.5 to four. Rather than giving a help database, which is an ocean of information to search through ourselves, we should be able to open a ticket and have them guide us on how to do it. As an end-user, different levels of admins exist—a fresh admin and a more experienced admin. They need to encourage us to open a ticket quickly, and from there they should guide us straightforwardly with the steps to follow to achieve the desired outcome.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have saved massive drive space and shortened data transfer time to offsite due to the 8:1 ratio of the de-duplication and changed block tracking."

"Any customer who uses Acronis that has needed to restore anything from their backup has had a 99% success rate, where they have been able to restore data without any problems."

"Speed and the ease in which we recover full hard drives are valuable features."

"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 is quite a good solution for that."

"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."

"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."

"What Acronis provides is much more than that; it provides backup, management, and security, as well as vulnerability management and patch management, and a little bit of DLP."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively."

"The solution is very stable."

"It seems reliable and easy to use."

"The Granular Restore of SQL feature has been a lifesaver more times than I can count."

"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."

"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."

"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."

"This solution is very simple to use and I will recommend it to anybody."

More Carbonite Server pros

"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."

"The program has been working really well for us."

"For those considering implementing the solution, I would say to just go for it."

"Veeam is affordable and end-to-end configuration is straightforward, whether you're going from source to destination or vice versa. Retrieval is also easy."

"The ease of use is great and the integrations with the storage vendors are useful, with snapshot capabilities and similar features, and the setup was straightforward, making it a stable solution with great scalability."

"The product is easy-to-use."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the WAN accelerator. This feature allows for large amounts of data from one location to another. If the bandwidth in the environment is slow it makes the transfer slow but the WAN accelerator feature helps speed the transfer."

"The solution is easy to use. It's very simple and clients find it very easy to find all objects and things they need with the Veeam Explorer."

Cons

"Sometimes backups become corrupted and can not be access via the Recovery Console, You can send the backups too Acronis support (Could take months depending on the size of the backup) and they will try to recover the data, however rarely do."

"MS Exchange and SQL backups are a little slow and odd to setup."

"On the cloud side, security could always be better."

"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."

"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system."

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

"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases."

"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."

"I would like to see an improvement on the management user interface, as well as Kellion integrations."

"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet; its public cloud support can be improved."

"When you have to restore it, Carbonite takes a lot of time."

"The only thing that I would like to see improved is related to marketing. Currently, it is very difficult to find the right paper and stuff for me. Their marketing department should provide better information because currently, it is very difficult to find information on the internet. It was bought over by OpenText, and you won't be able to find a lot of information about this solution on their site. They should also provide training facilities for commercial purposes. Some of my colleagues recently went for pilot training, and they were technical. If I want to get trained, the training has to be more commercial. Currently, there is no such training for users like me."

"The stability has room for improvement."

"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."

"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."

More Carbonite Server cons

"Microsoft currently saves only two months of conversation history, and it would be better if Veeam could focus on backing up more than two months of conversation data."

"As with all things, the solution can be improved by reducing the cost."

"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."

"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by adding more features with Microsoft teams. We have many files that we are working on with Microsoft teams and there should be more integration and features."

"Pricing is an area for improvement, and I would rate it at five out of ten."

"One major drawback is that Veeam doesn't support migrating data once it's stored in object storage like S3."

"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution."

"I have not really seen an ROI from Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365. On the customer side, we don't really see the ROI."

"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"The solution is open source."

"The pricing is between $120 and $150 per year."

"Its price is reasonable."

"We pay 9,000 dollars per year for our license."
