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.
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The setup is very easy."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"This solution is very flexible and user-friendly — it's very good. It's very good with our virtual and physical infrastructure."
"The product allows us to use data more efficiently, reducing the cost of storage and backup time. It is vital to have data available in the shortest possible time."
"The solution is very easy to deploy."
"I'm satisfied with tech support, because the solution is so stable that I haven't had the need to engage any of the engineers yet."
"It is a good product, in regards to performance, as well as data protection."
"With Replication, Veeam allows us to have a duplicated VM on standby."
"No problems with stability."
"The ntegration of physical agents with our cloud connect service is positive."
"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."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"We would always support better pricing."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"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."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"The Cloud version is not ready, they need maturity and ease of deployment in terms of management."
"The VMotion feature is not reliable enough to ensure a successful migration operation."
"It would be nice if it could be integrated with third-party solutions like ours. It has been supporting just Windows and virtual machines."
"They fixed everything that I was hoping for. It is pretty good. There were a few things in 9.x that I was wishing for, and they came true in version 10. We were looking for retention without having to make a copy job. We're getting ready to migrate m365 to the cloud. I haven't dived into it to make sure, but I wish the m365 backup would integrate into the current console so that we don't have to use two different consoles."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."
"We struggled to stabilize the application. We had an incident which resulted in a loss of data and have terminated this solution due to lack of support from the Veeam team."
"Could offer a better conclusion of the backups."

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
