We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect, IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, and Veeam Backup & Replication based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"This solution is very stable and has good support available online."
"This is a multi-platform backup solution where you can take a backup from AIX, Windows, or Linux servers and restore from CD, disk, or tape."
"The most valuable feature is how we can easily power speed up the VM even though the VM resides in remote storage."
"The API is very good."
"The solution's stability is high because it is derived from Spectrum Protect."
"The feature I find most valuable is the offload to Spectrum Protect for long-term retention. I think the deduplication and replication are quite nice on Plus."
"The tool has enough documentation; you don't need to contact the support team."
"The support from IBM is very good."
"It's fairly easy to manage and set up."
"I like all the backup features in Veeam."
"The ntegration of physical agents with our cloud connect service is positive."
"It is a good product, in regards to performance, as well as data protection."
"Veeam is highly scalable. In one scenario, we started with 2,000 users and scaled up to 24,000."
"I have found the backup call feature very good."
"A simple and stable solution for small businesses that use virtualization."
"It is a good solution for backups and reporting."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"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."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"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."
"The solution should allow for backup of iOS snapshots."
"It requires much more automation features."
"The tool needs to increase the number of threats."
"The software's technical support could improve its response time for different time zones."
"I think the graphical reports are a shortcoming of the tool since it fails to provide my company with what we want in terms of reporting. Due to the product's inability to take care of its reporting part, we have to use third-party software."
"I would like to see continuous data protection (CDP). If there is machine failure, you don't have to go to the backup copy that you took 12 hours ago. You can actually go back to the backup copy made half an hour ago. That is, it would be good to have certain-point-in-time recovery."
"Rooms for improvement in IBM Spectrum Protect Plus are installation and configuration because those were difficult. They should try their best to improve those areas. In the next release of the product, better implementation and administration are what we're expecting."
"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"The product is missing some commonsense features and tools for an enterprise backup recovery product,"
"In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper."
"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."
"Cross-hypervisor replication can be improved."
"The solution is rather weak when it comes to database integration."
