"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"Its absolute functionality and intuitiveness are the most valuable features."
"It is very easy to integrate. You can do it very fast."
"Its ability to restore at the item level is very valuable. It is very strong at that. In the past, we had to restore a lot of data only for a couple of items. We can now restore an item as well as an email, which is good for productivity."
"Veaam technical support, from my perspective, is one of the best technical support I've ever engaged with."
"The feature that I like the most is the system backup recovery from OneDrive."
"One of the main features of the solution is it is easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Teams environment."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"In some instances, a customer is not necessarily backing up Microsoft 365. For instance, they might be backing up a large Oracle database. It would be nice if they could tweak it to compress the file, so it's easier to transfer a huge file."
"They need more documentation, awareness, and assistance."
"It requires quite an amount of infrastructure. You have to set up the instance, and you need to know quite a bit about Microsoft 365 authentication. For some customers, it is a challenge."
"The pricing model is unnecessarily confusing and could be simplified."
"The documentation for the installation is good. However, if you are new to the environment the installation could be difficult. The first time we did it it took approximately four days."
"Some additional training materials would be helpful."
"In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support."
"Veeam is quite expensive."
