Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."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."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"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."
"It is secure, reliable, and has officer support."
"The backup is very secure. The deduplication using EMC is very good. We are able to make systems and handle random cloning. EMC is a very stable solution for making backups."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"The most valuable features of this product are its guaranteed reliability and its duplication capability."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"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."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"The reporting can be improved."
"Because Acronis Backup is an on-premises solution, there is extra overhead. It's harder to manage, and there's no real remote access. You have to physically log in to the machine to manage it. The reporting feature works fine, and you will be able to send out reports. However, that is where it stops. The deployment could be improved and could be through a network chain. If we need to deploy two machines that are not connected to the internet but connected to two different networks, it would be great to have a machine with dual mix that has access to the backup server and to those machines. It would be like a relay that you can install on the machine with a two-mix, and that machine can then connect to your backup server and to the other machines. You should be able to see the other machines on that network and be able to deploy to it and push jobs to it."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"The initial setup is complex."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"The price of the product is high."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
