"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The ability to clone backups."
"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 pricing is fine."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is its performance. Additionally, the user interface and documentation are easy to use and navigate."
"The solution is stable."
"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 most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Office 365 are the ease of use and instant back and restore."
"The scalability is good."
"The solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs."
"The product is easy-to-use."
"It was easy to set up."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support."
"As with all things, the solution can be improved by reducing the cost."
"We have found that there is a limitation in this solution where it only takes the backup of users who are using Office 365 Enterprise email IDs. We have many users in management and approximately 50 other users who are using Office 365 of which Veeam is able to capture the backup. However, for the other users who are on the local email server at that time, the solution is not able to capture the backup."
"The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."
"This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."
"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."
"This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes."
