Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"It is almost perfect for Microsoft products. It is not a very powerful tool, but it is okay for small sites and small businesses with Microsoft products. It is easy to use for backup and restore. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers such as Exchange and SharePoint servers."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"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."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"It would be better if it integrated seamlessly with open source and competitor products. In the next release, I would like to see some data governance frameworks. It should have support features for data integration and data replication like Veeam. Right now, we are also using Veeam for certain scenarios."
