Effective data recovery with strong backup features

I am not using the blockchain-based data integrity verification feature. We have not implemented proactive ransomware protection and anti-malware features, so they have not been helpful to my customers. For shared drives, when configuring SharePoint services for backup, licensing becomes difficult to understand, so that would be a point of interest for improvement. The licensing features should be improved. The licensing for SharePoint should be more visible for SharePoint services backup to make it more feasible and understandable. In terms of management, group management is not available for bulk activities, which I have previously given feedback on in a training session conducted by Acronis. If you want to do any recovery for bulk users, the option for bulk activities is not available in Acronis currently. Bulk activity should be available. Technical support from Acronis requires some improvisation; we do not get on-time support, and we face issues connecting with the account manager, which needs to be improved.

Provides enterprise-level protection from ransomware attacks

Speaking about how the product is deployed in my company's business operations, I would say that it is an appliance with a critical infrastructure. In terms of data protection capabilities, the tool's ability to boot a device and have a separate network has saved the day for many of our company's clients who use the solution. If you have a collection of old servers, and if one of the old servers dies, you could be dead in the water if you cannot locally boot a server. Even the new gears in place can have an issue if people are not spending money on robust hardware tools, and replace them. It is necessary to have the local boot options if and when you have a hardware issue. The product brings the most value in the area of virtual boot when it comes to disaster recovery since it can boot up a version of the server from before an incident, which is helpful and allows your company to have a lower RPO or recovery point objective. It makes a big difference if you can have an RPO in hours rather than in days. The image-based backup functionality has revolutionized and impacted our company recovery time objectives since we deal in hours and not in days. The interface of the product is intuitive. I like the product's functionality that provides the ability to see everything at a glance, along with the alerting feature. Maintenance is required since certain drives die at times. In general, maintenance is required to deal with dead RAMs and hard drives. The former clients with small offices and the old Linux servers that used to die in production used to boot such servers with the help of Datto Cloud Continuity. The aforementioned process allows the clients to continue running their business while buying time to get replacement hardware, making a big difference that helps them reduce potential data loss or downtime. The local boot provided by the product saved the day for many of our company's clients. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. Though the tool is not inexpensive, it provides enterprise-level protection from ransomware. I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

Continuous replication and backup simplify customer service across enterprises of any size

Veeam Data Platform provides me with the most useful features such as application restore, single file restore, backup and replication, and continuous replication. We utilize these features for management and the customers we serve. Veeam Data Platform provides features such as immutability and ransomware protection. While we use other applications for ransomware protection, we rely on Veeam Data Platform for encryption.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product is user-friendly."

"The recovery feature is user-friendly and offers effective protection for our backups."

"One key feature is it encrypts your data at rest which is really good."

"The most valuable features of the product for me are its backup and recovery functionalities."

"The backup and recovery options work flawlessly."

"Patch management, backup, and disaster recovery have been the solution's most valuable features for our data protection strategy."

"This is a good product and I feel confident recommending it to any of my customers."

"As a user or company, we found Acronis is beneficial in terms of support, product, and scalability."

More Acronis Disaster Recovery pros

"The data recovery of the solution is very good."

"For local backup, it works well."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"The solution's reliability is one of its most valuable features...It is a very stable solution."

"Very friendly, since it visually facilitates the control and administration of the backups."

"When you compare it to other systems that require a fat client to be installed or to have several VMs setup just to configure the system, Datto stands head and shoulders above."

"They are laser-focused on bringing forth proven protection technologies and stopping cybercriminals from being able to breach, break, steal, or compromise your data."

"Datto has strong competition, but they succeeded in linking their service to the device. It's easy for managed service providers to sell and upsell products using their portal and the remote monitoring and maintenance."

More Datto Cloud Continuity pros

"Integration with various applications, such as on-premises laptops and desktop backups, as well as applications and databases, is excellent."

"The most valuable feature is how reliable Veeam Backup is. It has the normal expected features that allow you to ensure that everything is backed up completely."

"It backs up what we want, we replicate, and especially when we want to recover, we can recover the backed-up data."

"The initial setup was very easy."

"It is a powerful software for communicating with the storage and for redundancy."

"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use and the interface is very configurable for the users."

"The ability to instantly recover a virtual machine as compared to several hours with previous methods."

"The solution's customer service is good."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"Acronis Disaster Recovery is an expensive solution compared to other products."

"They could provide pricing models considering the requirements of various countries and organizations."

"The cost is acceptable."

"From an improvement perspective, the tool should allow users to add more data centers in the cloud."

"There is room for improvement in incorporating intelligence around disaster recovery. For instance, if a server is completely offline and destroyed, the system should offer an intelligent response, providing options to start recovery without requiring manual intervention from engineers."

"Acronis needs to implement some kind of Real Time Backup or continuous backup feature."

"Acronis could improve by incorporating an application or network load balancer. They could also enhance endpoint security by integrating EDR within the security framework."

"The product should improve compute points."

More Acronis Disaster Recovery cons

"Datto chose to build their own cloud, instead of leveraging AWS, Azure or GCP. It looks, feels and behaves like a beta product (lacks maturity)."

"The fact that Datto Cloud Continuity is not cheap is one of the aspects that I don't like about the product, making it an area where improvements are required."

"Right now the appliances have a functional limit of 50 protected servers each."

"I don't have any feedback to provide in terms of features that may be lacking."

"Datto's only shortcoming is RMM. They have a portal-based connection service like ConnectWise, but it does backups and keeps things running. Datto purchased Backupify and Kaseya bought Datto. If they upped the ante in their RMM, I could see them dominating the MSP space. At the end of the day, MSPs are responsible for networks, software, devices, and backup. Datto covers all these functions so they could offer a turnkey MSP solution."

"I don't have any feedback to provide in terms of features that may be lacking."

"They are now providing the device instead of selling it, while wanting their users to sign a three-year contract, and this is something which my clients don't like...I dislike the fact that signing a three-year contract is required."

"At the time I was using it, I would've focused more on signatures of malicious software in the cloud. I love Datto, and I know they're on the right path, but I probably would've focused more on the operating system update management. When you go from the desk to the cloud or from the server room to the cloud, everything changes. Everything is different. You're not in control of your servers anymore. It is from the Active Directory management perspective and not from the perspective of zero-day attacks or other similar things. At the time, more focus on zero-day attacks and business email compromise (BEC) would've been a better protection factor than just educating about how many of these attacks have occurred."

More Datto Cloud Continuity cons

"The stability for AIX machines could be better."

"No integration with vsphere client"

"In the next release I would like to see a bit more intelligence as far as a solution or troubleshooting - to put it more on the level of resolution and not simply identifying there is a problem."

"The direct SAN backup integration can be perfected by improving the snapshot removal mechanism and process from the storage volumes."

"Not highly customizable."

"CDP also requires a lot of development, because there are a lot of restrictions now for CDP."

"I would like to have them come up with more robust features when it comes to individual endpoint protection."

"The ability to do more backups should be addressed."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This pricing is quite reasonable."

"The tool is a little bit expensive. When it comes to pricing, there is a range for the VMs and endpoints. It depends. A set of backups on a DR probably costs around 10 to 20 USD per endpoint."

"The solution’s pricing is average."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing two or three out of ten."

"The price of the solution is inexpensive."

"The product has an affordable price."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

"Acronis Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."

"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"As the company grew from business continuity—or what used to be called business BCDR—they brought on services. Certain services, such as SaaS protection, were a value-add, but you would expect to pay for them. They are not going to be free. It is just the life that you live when you're evaluating software vendors, partners, etc. There is going to be some form of a base offering, and then there are going to be different tiers that you need to get up to a better level."

"The price of this product is very good."

"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."

"The software subscription model can be once a year, or every three years, or every five years."

"The licensing is based on the number of cores you have in your ESX or Hyper-V environment."

"We are on an annual license for Veeam Backup Replication. We could expand or upgrade the license for the Office365 features. Next year we might go to a three-year plan for support on license."

"It is more cost-effective than some of the other solutions, but a lot of that comes down to the fact that we're a reseller. So, depending upon the deal, we do negotiate different price points for different customers. The price varies depending upon the size of the customer, the size of the deal, and the discounts we can negotiate."

"This product is not cheap, but it's well worth the cost."

"The pricing is reasonable and falls within the average range."
