I'll give them a nine for how responsive they are in technical support.
Whenever I have a question, they respond very quickly each time.
The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks.
Their support is good and responsive when required.
Most cases are handled perfectly.
I would rate their technical support a 10 out of 10.

Acronis Cyber Protect is scalable, flexible, and performant, with minor issues affecting on-premise users more than cloud users.

Sentiment score

Veeam Data Platform offers scalable, cost-efficient solutions with flexible cloud deployment and integration, suiting diverse enterprise requirements.
Acronis Cyber Protect is a scalable product.
I would rate it eight on a scale from 1 to 10 for scalability, considering it will be multiple assets.
It involves acquiring additional licenses as needed.
In order to scale Veeam Data Platform, we have to pay a lot more money.
 

Stability Issues

7.3
Acronis Cyber Protect is dependable, stable, with efficient backups, though updates and UI delays pose occasional challenges.
Sentiment score
7.9
<p>NAKIVO Backup &amp; Replication is highly stable, frequently updated, and operates reliably across diverse environments without major issues.</p>
Sentiment score
7.9
Veeam Data Platform provides stable, reliable operations, with minor issues mainly due to external factors, praised for ease and backup confidence.
It ended up being at a point where we actually had to disable some features in order for the client to work through that specific purpose.
The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high.
They are built with newer technology and processes, needing less support.
There are no issues with stability in Veeam Data Platform.
 

Room For Improvement

Acronis Cyber Protect could improve user interface, installation, compatibility, performance, support, pricing, and integration for enhanced functionality.
NAKIVO needs better cloud integration, UI, application restores, virtual environment support, email alerts, updates, licensing, language, and encryption.
Veeam Data Platform needs enhancements in server support, licensing, integration, interface, performance, reporting, and data protection.
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.
Acronis Cyber Protect could be more affordable, especially for us in South America.
The Protect environment should automatically secure the last backup screens to prevent any changes, even by an admin.
They had given a feature of real-time replication which they stopped in NAKIVO.
OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future.
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.
Reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.
 

Setup Cost

Acronis Cyber Protect offers affordable licensing options, though some find it expensive in large environments, yet valued for capabilities.
<p>NAKIVO Backup &amp; Replication is competitively priced and easy to manage, offering excellent value and features for enterprises.</p>
Enterprise users find Veeam cost-effective with competitive pricing, flexible licensing, and savings over competitors despite recent price increases.
I would rate the price as nine out of ten.
The product is affordable even for smaller organizations.
I don't consider the price expensive given its importance.
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
Veeam Data Platform is more expensive than OpenStack because we pay for it in US dollars, while we pay for OpenStack in Egyptian pounds.
 

Valuable Features

Acronis Cyber Protect combines easy interface, backup, and cybersecurity for versatile OS support with centralized management and cloud storage.
<p>NAKIVO Backup &amp; Replication excels in efficiency, user-friendliness, integration, and security, enhancing data protection while minimizing resource usage.</p>
Veeam Data Platform offers efficient data recovery, integration, and monitoring tools for optimized virtual environments and disaster recovery.
The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy.
This is beneficial because any backup package stored in the cloud is not free, and if it shrinks well, it allows users to pay less for cloud storage.
It also encrypts your backups and makes it safe, so it doesn't get affected with viruses.
The VM, restore, and file recovery capabilities are considered gold standards.
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.
Veeam Data Platform provides me with the most useful features such as application restore, single file restore, backup and replication, and continuous replication.

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.
