We compared Acronis Cyber Protect and Veeam Backup & Replication across several parameters based on our users' reviews. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Acronis Cyber Protect is praised for its user-friendly interface, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness. However, there are some limitations such as issues with Check Point, difficulties with configuring reporting with Office 365, and the need for better integration with other cybersecurity solutions. Veeam Backup & Replication is valued for its simplicity, ease of use, and effectiveness in backup and recovery. Improvement areas for Veeam include cost, integration with storage and cloud solutions, scalability, and support. Acronis Cyber Protect may have an advantage in terms of its user-friendly interface and backup features, while Veeam Backup & Replication may have an advantage in terms of simplicity and ease of use.
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"It integrates easily with third-party solutions compared to other vendors."
"In Veeam backup, the most valuable feature for me is the recovery. It allows me to recover almost immediately while I continue fixing the problem of the affected machine."
"We have evaluated other solutions but Veeam is the best for virtualization."
"We get a lot of features with Veeam and we are happy to use this solution. After shutdown, the servers here automatically turn off and Veeam is keeping up all this. It's tension free work."
"It most valuable features are seeding and faster backups over small links."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup Replication is application awareness. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly and it has been working very well."
"The solution just works consistently. I never have issues with it."
"Get only one interface to manage all backup sites, secure them with replication, and manage outside LTO media."
"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."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"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."
"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."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"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."
"Limited support for environments other than VMware or Microsoft."
"The only issue on which we would like to see for improvement would be, potentially, the ability to do some different things with recovery, like faster recovery onsite."
"Veeam Backup & Replication should include a cloud solution."
"The solution requires a lot of bandwidth."
"In Linux, I suggest you backup for a PostgreSQL database."
"If you do not use the standard software and you go with a third-party solution such as this one, it might not work the same. There is an integration issue I understand between the database standards."
"CDP also requires a lot of development, because there are a lot of restrictions now for CDP. There is a chance to improve CDP and make it much easier for the customers."
"think backing up from physical servers and ransomware security needs some improvements."

Veeam is a good easy to use backup solution. But it has some limitations when you have an HCI Infrastructure like Nutanix.
Veeam BEM though can manage the jobs in Nutanix but if I need to fetch any reports for compliance requirements, it's not available. BEM will provide reports only if you are using VMWARE or HyperV. hence we are moving towards Rubrik.
First off Azure is not a backup strategy or solution, its an S3 repository. Acronis, Veeam, Rubrik, Cohesity are Enterprise Backup Solutions/EBS that can facilitate an S3 (Cloud-out). Read the Gartner Report on EBS publisehd last Nov 2019 for better insight. - Best, Aaron
I have used Acronis and Veeam and choosing between the two depends on result you expect to get from the Backup Solution. I will advise you try the trial version of both and decide which gives you better result.
That all comes down what exactly you are looking to backup. Virtual, physical, cloud. Nevertheless if you are looking for a simple, reliable, scalable, and flexible solution which has a portable license model that fits all go with Veeam
There is no “proper” answer to your question.
First, before the tool, define your goal as:
- how many systems?
- how many virtual vs physical?
- sizing (even roughly)
- is there some DBs or specific app?
Then time will come to choose the correct tool.
Veeam is a leader. Acronis is a niche player. Veeam is integrated with most storage systems on the market. Functionality - I'd recommend Veeam.
Hi Mark, hope you are well and keeping safe. Would this be for an on-prem, off-prem or hybrid solution you are looking for? For the record, Azure is a Cloud based solution and other vendors like Arcserve, Acronis, Veeam etc...have an on-prem/hybrid solution offerings. Happy to discuss
