Cost-effective with good data protection and a straightforward setup

Acronis Cyber Protect shows only a few features. We are using their default type of security I am using the default features of Acronis Security. The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy. It's a very cost-effective product. The…

The solution can be used for DR testing and allows running an infinite number of full backups

When we consider the backup model of other products like Veeam, their incremental backup just adds to their first full backup. With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements. With my cloud version of Veritas System Recovery, I can have a full backup every month, which is not possible with any other vendors. Other vendors will claim that the original copy is strong enough, but the customers have to ensure that bugs won't cause any problems in the future. However, with Veritas System Recovery, you can run a full backup this month and again run a full backup on the first or thirtieth day of the next month.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."

"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."

"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."

"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."

"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."

"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."

"Acronis has a very rich functionality."

"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"You can back up the whole image."

"The installation was straightforward."

"Offers good recovery quickly."

"It has a user-friendly interface."

"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."

"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."

"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."

Cons

"The reporting can be improved."

"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."

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

"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."

"The solution's reporting feature could be better."

"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."

"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."

"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."

"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"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."

"The pricing could be cheaper."

"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."

"It needs an easier interface."

"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."

"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."

"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."

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

"The price is reasonable."

"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."

"When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."

"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
