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.

Reliable and issue-free with a helpful onboarding wizard
The solution has been installed on Linux machines.  The solution is issue-free. We are happy with it.  The solution has been stable and reliable.  It is scalable.  My understanding the setup is pretty straightforward and that the onboarding wizard is pretty easy to follow.  I've never had to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The deployment of operating systems to new or repaired systems is much faster than before."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"It has improved the efficiency of work."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"It's stable and reliable."
"We are very satisfied with Veeam's technical support."
"Veeam Agent for Linux is highly stable; we have not had any issues."
"I haven't explored all of what this solution has to offer as I have only been using it for four months, but so far it's good and I would recommend it."
"The user interface is good."
"We've found the product to be very useful and has very good capabilities."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"One of my clients is using version 11.7, which I feel has quite a few bugs and is not easy to work with."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"Network based data backup and recovery is supported, however network recovery quite often crashes the application."
"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."
"For smaller companies, it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage."
"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."
"It could use deduplication features."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
"Their technical support could be better. I will often find a solution to a problem before they get back to me."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."
"The pricing is significantly higher than it was last year, which is understandable since they have introduced new technology, such as transitioning from backup to cybersecurity."
"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."
"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."
"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."
"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."
"The price is reasonable."
"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
"We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."
"Licensing costs are monthly."
"The costing is very competitive."
"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."
"Price-wise it's good."
"It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
