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.
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"The pricing is fine."
"It helps with process restoration. With Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"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."
"It has helped us to protect our IP address and critical information."
"The restore capabilities are the most valuable features."
"The standout feature for us is instant recovery."
"It is a rock-solid backup solution. That's all, and that's what we were asking for."
"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."
"The peace of mind of the backup is very important. Incremental backups make it fast and easy to use. We can recover from any failures in case of any hardware failures or malware attacks. We can do a rollback and recover our services with a little downtime. We can rollback even in the case of unsuccessful updates."
"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."
"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"The scalability of the product in large organizations is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to have them come up with more robust features when it comes to individual endpoint protection."
"There should be better use of the external hard drives."
"It could use DR features similar to Zerto."
"Some support replies for a broken backup task have been "rebuild the job from scratch" and this is a bad thing to do if you have many VMs and repositories."
"The replicating from Veeam Backup Replication to Azure cloud could be improved."
"The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved."
"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."

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
