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.

Backup has protected our office data and now restores individual emails while admins configure settings
Although Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is a Backup as a Service, it should give slight leverage to the admins to do more of their own configurations. When it comes to Software as a Service, we do need to agree on certain things, as we do not have much control over the software. If Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 can improve, it would be better. It could be slightly better, but it is acceptable. As long as support is provided in a timely manner, it is good. I cannot tell it is fully bad or fully good. If I were to give a rating of one to five, I might give 3.5 to four. Rather than giving a help database, which is an ocean of information to search through ourselves, we should be able to open a ticket and have them guide us on how to do it. As an end-user, different levels of admins exist—a fresh admin and a more experienced admin. They need to encourage us to open a ticket quickly, and from there they should guide us straightforwardly with the steps to follow to achieve the desired outcome.

Seamless integration supports small teams with existing skills
The most valuable feature we've found with Veritas CloudPoint so far is the lack of a learning curve because the team was already familiar with all of the consoles and how to build policies. As they started to use it in Azure, they were able to continue doing things as they were used to doing them rather than having to learn a new tool. The efficiency gain we've experienced is that we were able to start deploying backup policies to Azure without having to learn a new tool, even though there are arguments about overhead and granularity if one uses native Azure backup tools compared to Veritas CloudPoint.

Pros

"The most valuable features are the indexing, the file-level restore, and the replications between regions."

Cons

"Acronis support is pathetic. It takes five days to open the case."

"The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."

"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."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by adding more features with Microsoft Teams. We have many files that we are working on with Microsoft Teams and there should be more integration and features."

"We would like to have a single management console for all of our backups."
"The product needs to improve its file-level or granular-level backups."

"The product needs to improve its file-level or granular-level backups."
"They are niche with the work that they do, but they should have more integration with NetBackup and the reporting is something they should be working towards improving."
"They are niche with the work that they do, but they should have more integration with NetBackup and the reporting is something they should be working towards improving."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."
"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
"We have 2000 users and pay about $10,000. It may be a little bit more per year. We have an education institute and may have fewer expenses."
