Has ensured reliable data protection and quick recovery across various industries

The features of Acronis Cyber Protect that I find most useful for my customers are the Vault, data protection, and the ability to protect and access data anytime with the Vault feature. The AI-based antimalware feature in Acronis Cyber Protect is very effective in preventing cyber threats. AI is a good asset in protecting cybersecurity because it provides inception into threats and how to react with them before securing. It is very important and a great asset as a feature. 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. Users can gain access to their data anytime. My future work will require mobility, so cloud-based access to data will be very beneficial.

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 have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."

"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."

"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."

"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."

"It is a very stable solution."

"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."

"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 solution is stable and reliable."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"One of the most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect is it does not require the use of an extremely fast internet connection for it to work. The backup process is automated which is great."

"It's a stable solution."

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

"The best part about this solution is that it just works."

"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."

"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."

"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] pros

Cons

"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."

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

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

"The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks."

"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."

"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."

"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."

"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."

"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."

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

"We need the solution to offer IT storage."

"The solution could improve the stability."

"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."

"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."

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

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Acronis Backup is cheaper. If you install it on a hypervisor, you only pay for a single license. It would be for the backup server, and everything else will be covered by it. In that sense, it becomes a much cheaper option. However, if you have virtual machines, then it can be more expensive. Also, if you have a lot of physical machines the cost can be higher because each entity will need a separate license. There is a monthly license cost."

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."

"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."

"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."

"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."

"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."

"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."

"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."

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

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

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."

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