Room For Improvement

Acronis Disaster Recovery requires enhancements in backup, support, cost management, security, customization, and clearer documentation for international clients.
NAKIVO needs improved restore, cloud support, UI, integrations, reporting, speed, support, AI, SNMP, legacy compatibility, and mobile features.
Users seek improved integration, better reporting, enhanced support, streamlined interface, licensing simplicity, faster recovery, and increased compatibility in Veeam.
They could also enhance endpoint security by integrating EDR within the security framework.
Technical Director at Tecstaq
For the backup to compete in the enterprise market, there must be improvements.
Associate Product Executive at Connex Information Technologies
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.
Senior Engeneer at Telco Systems
They had given a feature of real-time replication which they stopped in NAKIVO.
Co-Owner at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
The improvement we would like to see is the option to scale Veeam Data up in smaller sections rather than large sections, which requires paying much more.
L3 Infrastructure Engineer at Specsavers
Reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.
Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future.
Applications section Head at Raya Integration
 

Setup Cost

Acronis Disaster Recovery's pricing is seen as justified for its features, despite recent increases and regional cost perceptions.
<p>NAKIVO Backup &amp; Replication provides cost-effective, easy setup and flexible licensing, appealing to small to medium enterprises.</p>
Veeam Data Platform offers reasonable, customizable pricing with per-CPU socket licensing, low setup costs, and competitive discounts.
The pricing for Acronis products has increased by 10% to 15% over the past few years, making it challenging for existing customers to accommodate the rising costs annually.
Technical Director at Tecstaq
Acronis Disaster Recovery is fairly priced.
Senior Engeneer at Telco Systems
The price for Acronis Disaster Recovery is fair from the perspective of features, but for Indian customers and in light of the competition, it would be better if the price were a little lower to pitch services more effectively.
Technology Specialist at Ideeya technologies
The product is affordable even for smaller organizations.
Co-Owner at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
The pricing is very low, and the licensing process makes it easy to obtain any quote.
Business Consulting at Gestion IT
I don't consider the price expensive given its importance.
Sr. Production Analyst at a logistics company with 1,001-5,000 employees
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.

Veeam Data Platform is more expensive than OpenStack because we pay for it in US dollars, while we pay for OpenStack in Egyptian pounds.
Applications section Head at Raya Integration
 

Valuable Features

<p>NAKIVO Backup &amp; Replication offers user-friendly, cost-effective data protection with strong VMware integration, efficient recovery, and seamless cloud support.</p>
Veeam Data Platform excels in reliable backups, efficient recovery, VMware integration, and advanced monitoring for effective data management.
The ability to automate the backup solution and recover entire mailboxes or even granular-level emails is very good for restoration and backup.

For data recovery, when we lose a server, we are able to restore it in place with the click of a button.
Senior Engeneer at Telco Systems
The automation failback feature in Acronis Disaster Recovery is very helpful and very seamless, requiring only one click to initiate the failback, and Acronis does the rest automatically.
Technical Support Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

Sr. Production Analyst at a logistics company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The backup for specific disks feature has helped me by allowing us to take backups specifically for data we need, rather than for the whole server as a single disk, such as just backing up the root disk.

SB
Technology Specialist at Ideeya technologies
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.
EDERLEY TERRERO - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Consulting at Gestion IT
Has improved customer satisfaction through reliable replication and flexible deployment
NAKIVO Backup & Replication has positively impacted my organization and my customers because it is not expensive and easy to use. I can see all the backup and replication processes, and I can protect all my customer data. It's the best solution when compared with others. The time savings and customer satisfaction demonstrate specific positive outcomes. The customers are happy with the solution and appreciate that it is not expensive.

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.
