Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"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."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"The solution's instant recovery feature is good and allows you to capture and copy individual files."
"The most valuable aspect is its reliability in recovering any replaceable data in the event of server issues in a production environment."
"It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
"Backup and restore features are valuable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of deployment, its many interesting functions, and its good performance for both backup and restoration."
"The solution is quite easy to configure."
"The tool's stability is good."
"Continuous Data Protection is a game-changing technology."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"The reporting can be improved."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"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."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"It would be beneficial if it could expand its coverage to support Frostbox and provide greater flexibility for service providers to recommend backup solutions based on customer preferences in prospective environments."
"Veeam does image-based backups, whether it be of virtual machines or physical workloads, and they are able to back up general applications like Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. Sometimes, even Oracle and SAP. But still, there are many customers using other types of databases that Veeam does not natively support. For example, in the Linux area, MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported, but with many limitations. Like, if a customer is running a Postgres cluster, Veeam does not support that."
"Veeam's support services need improvement."
"It would be nice if the solution scanned for malware in the backups."
"The price could be optimized, and I am still waiting for support for physical hardware. However, it is currently easy to back up and restore environments with this software."
"Apart from security improvements, enhancing compatibility with various platforms and addressing limitations related to integration and verification would be beneficial."
"The product must improve its performance."
"Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement."
