Have improved recovery preparedness and see potential growth with better technical support
Acronis provides ease of use with all tools and solutions operating through a single console and agent. This reduces the workload on endpoints during backups and other cybersecurity operations. Backup is crucial as it allows data recovery. Email security helps protect against malicious emails. The failover process is preconfigured, offering a simplistic switch over for servers.

Pros

"Acronis provides ease of use with all tools and solutions operating through a single console and agent."
"One key feature is it encrypts your data at rest which is really good."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery has good scalability."
"The ability to automate the backup solution and recover entire mailboxes or even granular-level emails is very good for restoration and backup."
"DR and failover are good features of the tool."
"The solution can be improved by including a load balancer."
"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."
"I consider the solution's technical support to be excellent, perfect."
"The most critical features of Veeam Data Platform for ensuring availability and integrity are its fast virtual machine restoration using duplication for quick backups and the COBRA point functionality that allows us to run regu"
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is that we can back up in-house and multiple cloud providers' storage."
"The solution is a user-friendly interface."
"The technical support is good."
"Veeam One is a centralized management and centralized reporting tool. The tool has supportive infrastructure to create specialised applications and some server application. You can add all the resources and infrastructure. You will get the reports, can easily manage and monitor any feature."
"What I like most about this solution are the simplicity and the price-performance ratio."
"The tool's stability is good."
 

Cons

"Acronis could improve by incorporating an application or network load balancer."
"The cost is acceptable."
"The solution covers specific versions of Windows and Linux, and it would be good if other Linux versions or some special appliances could work in the Acronis Disaster Recovery environment."
"Overall, Acronis is a good solution, but it needs improvements in some areas like IDR, XDR, and other aspects."
"I wish the Disaster Recovery system could do more, like integrating irregularity features and combining VLP functionalities."
"The product should improve compute points."
"In the future, I would like to see cross-platform support."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery is an expensive solution compared to other products."
"When you have some small issues, you should be able to go through it by yourself and solve the issue instead of opening the ticket and waiting for the engineers to troubleshoot."
"The licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better."
"The product is expensive."
"Cross-hypervisor replication can be improved."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."
"The SME that helped us with the implementation would probably have more insight because he used it way more than we have. We just use it for making sure that our backups are done daily, and the replications are being performed between sites. We haven't had any issues at all with it other than the fact that there is a slight process to acquire additional licenses if we want to expand our number of hosts. That's because it is based on the number of cores and threads that are used."
"Some support replies for a broken backup task have been "rebuild the job from scratch" and this is a bad thing to do if you have many VMs and repositories."
"Could offer a better conclusion of the backups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This pricing is quite reasonable."
"The solution’s pricing is average."
"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."
"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 tool's pricing is reasonable."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"The product has an affordable price."
"This is not an expensive solution. It's on the cheaper side."
"Veeam Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads."
"The product is not that expensive."
"It is highly cost-effective when compared to other solutions."
"We are happy with the pricing and we pay for licensing on a subscription basis."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"Veeam ONE is offered at a good price."
"The pricing structure for Veeam ONE has changed to what is now called the "VUL" or "Universal License". Previously, people mainly used socket licenses, but this has now changed. The new pricing structure was introduced last year."
