"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"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."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"Veeam Backup Replication is stable I have not had any problems."
"The replication is the most valuable feature for us."
"The features I find most valuable are probably the VMware snapshot backups and the Veeam replication. Their replication is very good. It can easily be used for disaster recovery in a number of situations."
"It helps with process restoration. With Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"I have found one of the most valuable features to be the integrity of the backups."
"It is a stable and scalable solution that's easy to operate and restore."
"The data backup replication has been the most useful feature. Previously, we copied the data hub to an external hard drive but now we are able to store the backup on one of the depository service."
"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are it is easy to use and manage."
"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"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."
"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 technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."
"In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included."
"Needs better integration with cloud service providers."
"The ability to do more backups should be addressed."
"The stability could be better, specifically in the cloud."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It could be simpler to use."
"There should be better use of the external hard drives."
"The deduplication feature could be improved by changing to global deduplication."

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
