Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage.""The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support.""The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly.""Acronis Backup is easy to use.""The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it.""It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly.​""It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface.""All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."

More KeyCloud Backup and Recovery Pros →

"The most valuable features are backup and restore. This solution is also easy to use.""It is easy to deploy.""It's powerful and user-friendly.""Application awareness is very good and the speed of this solution is good.""The Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is easy to use and performing a recovery is easy to do.""The most valuable feature is the ability to navigate inside a backup point to look for a specific folder or data you want to recover.""The solution is useful for taking backups for end-user laptops and end-user workstations where data is involved.""This is a reliable system that supports Veeam backup and recovery for Windows."

More Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows [EOL] Pros →

Cons
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing.""The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me.""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.""The pricing could be improved.""Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all.""The reporting can be improved.""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. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cons →

"We backup a lot of information in a 24-hour period. It works fine. But there's always room for improvement on that."

More KeyCloud Backup and Recovery Cons →

"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should improve by having more features, easier deployment, and compatibility with Unix boxes.""The backups can go slow.""Some customers have Oracle databases and Veeam does support back up of Oracle databases.""Troubleshooting is very hard.""There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure.""Interface could possibly be improved.""It is not always easy to update this solution to the newer version, so the update process needs to be improved.""There really are no cons. The product simply has to maintain development to keep up with changes in the operating system."

    What is Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows?

    Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is a robust, trusted data protection and recovery solution for both physical and virtual machines. This solution can be used to safeguard all kinds of machines and devices, such as desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. Veeam Agent for Windows can easily be installed on all Windows-based physical servers, workstations, desktops, and virtual machines, and works well in either a standalone or managed mode.

    It is widely understood that all users should back up all stored data on a regularly scheduled basis to protect all important data. In the event of a data disaster, data can easily be restored from the backup using this solution and one would never have to experience a loss of important information. Users can implement Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows to perform regularly scheduled backups automatically, or manually, as needed. Users can choose to back up individual folders and files, designate particular computer files, or even the entire computer image. 

    Backups can be saved in several different locations, such as:

    • Cloud Repository (Veeam Cloud Connect)
    • Backup Repository (Veeam Backup Server)
    • Network Shared Folder 
    • Local Computer Drive
    • Removable Storage Device (USB, CD, DVD, etc)
    • Microsoft OneDrive

    Veeam Agent for Windows users are able to:

    • Create a Veeam Recovery Media file on an external hard drive, CD/DVD/BD, internal hard drive, or choose to establish an ISO file using Veeam Recovery Media on disk.
    • Create a comprehensive system image backup and securely back up chosen computer volumes or specific personal folders with files. Users have the option to store backups in a network shared folder on an external hard drive, or use the Veeam backup repository, Veeam Cloud Connect Repository, or Microsoft OneDrive.

    Veeam Data restore offers two options:

    • Volume-level restore: Veeam Agent is able to restore the complete content of the entire volume. The solution retrieves the data blocks pertaining to the designated volumes and copies them to the desired location. A volume can then be restored to a new location or its original location.

    • File-Level Restore: Veeam Agent will use Veeam’s proprietary driver to publish backup content safely to a user's computer file system. Users can then access the content user Veeam’s Virtual Disk Driver (VDK), which is included with the solution. Users can then easily browse and copy the desired files and folders to use as desired.

    Veeam Recovery Media

    Veeam Agent for Windows allows users to create a complete recovery image of their computer using Veeam Recovery Media. This image contains all data necessary to run Microsoft Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) while supplying a viable option to run users’ computer systems.

    Reviews From Real Users:

    We use Veeam Agent for security as well as to ensure we have a backup should the server or discs fatally die. We are a small company with just one building, we want to be sure that should a server be gone we have a backup in the cloud so that we can survive.” - Director at a tech services company 

    “The compatibility of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows with other solutions is good. Its integration with other solutions is also good. I also find the product user-friendly.” - Business Development Manager at a tech services company.
