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."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"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."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"Technical support is good. They're very responsive. It depends on the timezone responding, but I usually get a response within three hours of creating a ticket."
"This is a good product with a simple environment."
"The Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is easy to use and performing a recovery is easy to do."
"The most valuable features are backup and restore. This solution is also easy to use."
"I like working on the Azure platform."
"It is a stable solution."
"This is a reliable system that supports Veeam backup and recovery for Windows."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"The backups can go slow."
"Interface could possibly be improved."
"I can't think of anything that may be missing."
"A feature I would like to see is universal restore. At the moment, restoration can only be smooth on the same hardware. Let's say you have a server and you back it up with Veeam Agent, in case it fails or crashes. If you later buy a new server because the same one isn't available on the market anymore, there's a high chance that Windows will not boot up if you restore from the Veeam backup because the hardware is now different. Acronis has the universal restore feature, so it will work with generic drivers and you can restore Windows in any dissimilar hardware. As far as I know, Veeam doesn't have this feature yet."
"We need some sort of security for backups and archives."
"We can't use tape for primary storage on Veeam."
"It is not always easy to update this solution to the newer version, so the update process needs to be improved."
"I've found a lot of difficulties on the initial setup and especially in terms of credentials. We really need a Window OS. It doesn't like the domain admin account. it's a primary permission issue."
