"The agent, which is installed on the system, can do Quality of Service."
"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."
"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."
"The ease of implementation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services."
"I am impressed with the product's file-sharing feature."
"What I like best about Acronis Backup Cloud is the active protection feature that helps you protect your workload from ransomware attacks."
"One of my favorite features of the Acronis backup product is the ability to replicate the backups. Backup data can be replicated to a second, third, or even fourth data source."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the WAN accelerator. This feature allows for large amounts of data from one location to another. If the bandwidth in the environment is slow it makes the transfer slow but the WAN accelerator feature helps speed the transfer."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the ease of use. You only need to create a folder in your drive and it's as simple as dragging and dropping files to store them."
"It is very easy to integrate. You can do it very fast."
"It is easy to set up. You can use some functions to make sure you get the maximum bandwidth to do the backup. It has an option to bypass Microsoft network limitations and things like that."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It’s amazing how the solution helps restore old data."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"Technical support needs improvement. They are too slow to respond, and when it comes to backups, it's critical to deal with issues quickly."
"I would like to see enhancements made to the security."
"I would like to have support for agentless backup, where you don't have to install an agent on the host."
"It will be good if Acronis can provide more documentation and videos describing how to do different things. Their documentation is good, but it is without examples. They don't have lots of videos. They should put more videos on YouTube to show how to set up certain things, how to restore, and how to back up. They should provide step-by-step documentation and videos for specific scenarios. I would like them to improve the command line feature. The command line is not working smoothly, and there is some problem with it. If the command line is improved, it will take the product to the next level. It would be great if it can back up data from storage so that people are able to back up old data. Such a feature will make it an enterprise solution for a full backup."
"Technical support needs to be improved because they do not respond in a timely fashion."
"We'd like to see more DLP, data loss prevention."
"I think the pricing part of the solution is very complicated, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution should increase its security features."
"When using Veeam Backup for Office 365 when there is a server that's running, I have to have a hard drive installed on it. For example, if I want to use another storage solution, I can't incorporate it very well. If I want to use SMB or other protocols I cannot use them with the Veeam Backup for Office 365. They have the support in the other Veeam Backup and Restore solutions, but it doesn't support it in this solution. Hopefully, in the future, they figured it out."
"The solution should provide more integration with Teams and SharePoint Online to perform other tasks."
"It's a new product. It's not mature."
"Veeam's performance is inconsistent."
"This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes."
"The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."
"As with all things, the solution can be improved by reducing the cost."
"The customer service and support response time can be improved."
