Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"The ability to clone backups."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"It has simple buying options and deployments. You can buy on-cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solutions. Acronis Backup is very easy to deploy. It also does not consume much hardware. The administrator's tasks are very simple. It is very user friendly, and it also has good security features with low-level encryption and data encryption."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"The installation was straightforward."
"You can back up the whole image."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"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."
"Because Acronis Backup is an on-premises solution, there is extra overhead. It's harder to manage, and there's no real remote access. You have to physically log in to the machine to manage it. The reporting feature works fine, and you will be able to send out reports. However, that is where it stops. The deployment could be improved and could be through a network chain. If we need to deploy two machines that are not connected to the internet but connected to two different networks, it would be great to have a machine with dual mix that has access to the backup server and to those machines. It would be like a relay that you can install on the machine with a two-mix, and that machine can then connect to your backup server and to the other machines. You should be able to see the other machines on that network and be able to deploy to it and push jobs to it."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"It needs an easier interface."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
