Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."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."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"One beneficial feature is that the solution can handle complex environments."
"Updating the product has been very easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the automation and integration points with other automation tools."

"Enterprise is a complete solution that includes performance, backups and disaster recovery."
"The pricing is very, very good."
"This is a good solution if you want to deploy an ACI Environment but don't have all the necessary resources."
"I like the managed updates. They are really nice in VxRail. Everything comes packaged and the updates are much easier than with other solutions that I've had to work with."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"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."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."

"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"Technically speaking, the vCenter and the administration of the integration of the vCenter could be improved."
"The way that the VxRail is licensed could be improved."
"The solution should offer more integration with other virtual software. VxRail runs just with VMware, however, maybe it should integrate with Hyper-V or with KVM as well."
"From a hardware and software perspective, there could be an improvement in the sales cycle, as there is a lot of hoops to go through to get pricing on a solution."
"We have issues at times with the one-click upgrade, which is bugging us. At times, the one-click upgrade does not work or does not work well."
"It would be an improvement if VxRail could be integrated with some other hypervisors and not just with VMware."
"I can't speak to any missing features or weak aspects of the system just yet. We haven't had a chance to really dig in."
"The product has high pricing. This particular area needs improvement."
