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.

Great backup that's user-friendly and very reliable

The initial setup is very straightforward. It is easy. There are no great difficulties when setting up the solution. Even the configuration is simple. The deployment itself takes only a couple of days. It only takes one person to install it. You do not need a big team. We had an engineer manage it. The product does not require any maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."

"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."

"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."

"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."

"The tool is user-friendly."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."

"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."

"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."

"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."

"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."

"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."

"Replication without network changes."

"The deployment is quite simple. Users are generally happy because of the familiarity they have with the features. The solution offers good transparency for the end-user."

Cons

"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 can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."

"There are some limitations to the backup."

"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."

"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."

"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."

"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."

"The replication part and failover are areas in which improvements are required."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"The dashboard could be more intuitive."

"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."

"We need the solution to offer IT storage."

"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."

"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."

"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."

"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."

"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."

"The tool is cheap compared to other products."

"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."

"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."

"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."

"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."

"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."

"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."

"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."

"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."

"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."

"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
