"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"The ability to clone backups."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"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."
"If you have a lot of central sites and remote sites, you can easily set up the replication and make it easier."
"It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use, good integration with others solutions, such as Oracle ERP, and by using the UI you can create and achieve operations you want to do."
"The user interface is good and it is very easy to use."
"One of the most valuable features is the incremental backup. It is, of course, perfect because you have a lot of restore points, but you don't need all the space. The stability is also perfect."
"The backups we have been receiving from Veeam Backup Replication on-premise have been good."
"The solution offers the normal benefits of a virtual machine versus a physical, actual machine. It doesn't take up space, for example."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"I don't see much room for improvement except that the price could be better."
"I would like them to move back to host licensing."
"When you have some small issues, you should be able to go through it by yourself and solve the issue instead of opening the ticket and waiting for the engineers to troubleshoot."
"If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."
"Recovery speed is slow. Full recovery on large machines (1TB+) takes too long"
"The pricing could be better."
"Could be improved with hybrid cloud integration backup."
"Margins should not be distinct; instead, they should seamlessly integrate with the Veeam Backup and Replication tools, requiring minimal separation."

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
