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

"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."

"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."

"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and its user-friendly interface compared to other tools."

"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 interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."

"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."

"Since the last version, everything has been improved."

"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."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"While there are some complexities, Veeam tries to keep the product simple and offers a good knowledge base. It's quite structured, so you can easily take one subject and learn about it simply by reading through the documentation."

"Replication without network changes."

"It hasn't given us any issues so far."

"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 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."

"It's a stable solution."

"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] pros

Cons

"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."

"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."

"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."

"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."

"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."

"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."

"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."

"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."

"The dashboard could be more intuitive."

"The solution could improve the stability."

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

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

"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."

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

"Doesn't back-up from KVM."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheap compared to other products."

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"It is very cost-effective for the SMB segment, especially for start-ups and smaller environments. It is cost-effective for on-premises and on-cloud deployments in such environments."

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."

"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."

"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."

"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."

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

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

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

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."

"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 fee is on a monthly basis."

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

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

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