Good backup solution but challenges with the stability

It is recommended that people know what they are starting with. A part of our challenge was we bought and needed to implement it. So by the time we went to implement it, we were running into support issues. Also, make a market comparison to ensure that the product you choose is what you want to end up with. I would give it a six out of ten because restoring from a backup takes longer than usual. It should happen in a matter of hours, not a matter of days. We are yet to have an experience when trying to restore from Acronis that we haven't had to wait at least a couple of days for our server to be available for testing or working.

Simple and flexible backup solution

I mainly use Cloud Connect as a cloud backup repository Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options. I've been using Cloud Connect for about four years. We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning, but these were fixed after…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

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

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

"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."

"Universal Restore is valuable to us."

"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."

"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."

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

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

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

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

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

"In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."

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

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

"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

"The reporting can be improved."

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

"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."

"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."

"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."

"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."

"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."

"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."

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

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

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

"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 solution could improve the stability."

"We need the solution to offer IT storage."

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

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."

"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."

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

"The tool is cheap compared to other products."

"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."

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

"The pricing is reasonable. However, it depends on the storage that you use. It would be great to have a package that we can use up to a certain size of the backup, this would allow us to know what the price is going to be up to that capacity."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
