Encounter challenges in troubleshooting but experience efficient customer support
The application itself is a bit bloated. Although it has a lot of features when it comes to troubleshooting, we don't basically know where to start even though we do give them the log files to troubleshoot they don't give us a proper solution set. So I would say because it's bloated, it's a bit more difficult to troubleshoot where you get certain errors. From my side, on the POC I didn't really need to do much. It's only after we discovered there was a compatibility issue with the application that the client was running that we actually had to do a lot of log file shipping to Acronis themselves and getting solutions because of other problems. So on a day-to-day basis, you don't even maintain it, you just forget about it. You get alerts, but usually in between. It's quite easy to manage. To be honest with you, since I didn't really test that option of Acronis Cyber Protect, it's supposed to make everything feasible and easy to manage but I never got the option of testing it out, so I cannot really say at this stage.

Lightweight, easy to install and configure, and it does its job automatically
One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console. Currently, Druva can manage only one Office 365 tenant per console. As a customer, I should be able to manage all Office 365 tenants from a single console. This is one product feature I am looking for.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The licensing model is very good."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"Druva is offered as a service so that we can access it from any enterprise-based browser or URL. We also have a single sign-on, which allows me to log in securely. Hence, I can easily access the system, configure it, perform day-to-day monitoring tasks, and check for any issues or configurations needed. Overall, it's a simple and easy-to-use tool with a high-speed and straightforward interface for management."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"It's incredibly fast."
"Pricing is fairly reasonable and not overly expensive."
"The advantage of Veeam Backup and Replication is that it is very economical. The price is affordable and the cost benefit is good."
"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are it is easy to use and manage."
"The solution's recovery process is very smooth."
"The flexibility provided by Veeam Data Platform's hybrid deployment options is very simple, efficient, and user-friendly."
"It's scalable."
"WAN Accelerator helps tremendously with replicating our data because we have a large chunk of data that gets replicated between our two facilities."
"The solution is really easy and straightforward to use."
 

Cons

"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"If I could have an accelerator or something to back up the solution on the cloud, that would be helpful. Also, it would be helpful if the accelerator could give me a buffer of a couple of days for any kind of immediate recovery on an offsite."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The backup time is very poor. The backup runs continuously. It goes on from morning till night. The system performance also becomes very poor when Druva inSync is running."
"The speed could be better."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"Device backup could be improved."
"For our company's usage, the price of the product is considered to be one of the major drawbacks because we have a lot of infrastructure, and its services don't fit well with our needs."
"We struggled to stabilize the application. We had an incident which resulted in a loss of data and have terminated this solution due to lack of support from the Veeam team."
"In the future, I would like to see better support for direct backup to tape."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups. That is a functionality that Veeam does not provide."
"Veeam ONE should improve its UI."
"We have had problems with some jobs. For example, when we have a VM with a large SQL Database, sometimes we cannot adjust the time for transaction logs to back up and overlap time."
"If a single file is corrupt then the restoration of the entire backup will fail."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."
"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."
"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."
"The pricing is reasonable. However, it depends on the storage that you use. It would be great to have a package that we can use up to a certain size of the backup, this would allow us to know what the price is going to be up to that capacity."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."
"The pricing is good."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"My understanding is that it is a fairly small price point."
"A nice aspect of Veeam's pricing is that the cost benefit is good. It's very economical."
"It is approximately $4,000 to $5,000 for the purchase of the product and I paid an additional $2,000 for the renewal."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication has been increasing their price and my customers are asking why. They have CPU-based licenses and a Universal License, the prices should be reduced."
"The subscription-based pricing of Veeam Backup Replication is competitive."
"The cost is based on the number of core servers."
"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"We purchase a license annually."
