Chairman at ONGC
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.
Independent Business Owner at 3Kay Solutions
Having something such as a community for peer-to-peer interaction would be a valuable asset.
Responsible for Internet Technology Development at College of International Transport & Logistics - CITLC
There is also a need for better security measures, as security is critical to ensure backups are safe and free from malware.
Senior System Engineer at PT. Virtus Technology Indonesia
Improvements should come, particularly in compatibility, backup performance, or better troubleshooting.

I think the reporting in NetVault Plus should be gotten more easily.

Valuable Features

Acronis Cyber Protect offers a user-friendly interface, comprehensive protection, cloud integration, and secure backups with advanced cybersecurity features.
NetVault Plus provides user-friendly, web-based data protection with diverse integrations, efficient management, and time-saving backup and recovery features.
The biggest benefit of Acronis Cyber Protect for my customers is that it is a great asset to protect business data and ensure data is in a secure Vault.
Responsible for Internet Technology Development at College of International Transport & Logistics - CITLC
It also encrypts your backups and makes it safe, so it doesn't get affected with viruses.
Independent Business Owner at 3Kay Solutions
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 Manager at HASNER TECNOLOGIA
Quest NetVault Plus supports a wide range of databases such as MSSQL, MySQL, Oracle, and SAP, offering extensive coverage.
Manager at Fractalio Data Pvt Ltd
The backup and recovery capabilities of NetVault Plus are very important for maintaining my business.

I use the granular recovery feature, and it is actually helpful to restore even a single file from a large pool of files.

ArunKumar24 - PeerSpot reviewer
Chairman at ONGC
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.

Consistent high ratings reflect user satisfaction and reliability
The effective features are file system backup and bare metal recovery. I find it effective because the recovery time when the system goes down is approximately 10 hours, so you can recover the system, and the recovery procedure is quite straightforward. The solution is on-premises. Deduplication is handled by their own product called Corestore, which is a software-based deduplication engine. The deduplication ratio is quite good, and the backup window reduces because of it. To use Quest NetVault Plus backup, my advice is that the product is quite simple; there's no need to access or log in to the backup server, just log in from any system in the same network, and the configuration part is also quite simple. I rate Quest NetVault Plus a nine out of ten.
