"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud has very easy backup and recovery capabilities."
"We find the product to be very scalable."
"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."
"I am impressed with the product's file-sharing feature."
"The disaster recovery feature."
"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."
"It has one console for many loads and one backup for many recovery options. Converting backups as a virtual machine offers an edge as a low-cost Disaster Recovery solution."
"The solution has helped us maintain the backups, compliance, and integrity of the data residing on the servers and endpoints."
"It was easy to set up."
"The solution helps reduce our workload."
"This covers the areas of backing up Office 365 that Microsoft does not include in its standard routine."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Office 365 are the ease of use and instant back and restore."
"The most valuable aspect of Veeam is its stability."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs."
"It is very simple to set up."
"The support offered by both Veeam and our third party supplier is excellent."
"There could be some changes done to the action page to simplify it."
"The platform's interface could be user-friendly."
"What's lacking in Acronis Backup Cloud is a unified dashboard or console that lets you see the backup status of all clients."
"It will be good if Acronis can provide more documentation and videos describing how to do different things. Their documentation is good, but it is without examples. They don't have lots of videos. They should put more videos on YouTube to show how to set up certain things, how to restore, and how to back up. They should provide step-by-step documentation and videos for specific scenarios. I would like them to improve the command line feature. The command line is not working smoothly, and there is some problem with it. If the command line is improved, it will take the product to the next level. It would be great if it can back up data from storage so that people are able to back up old data. Such a feature will make it an enterprise solution for a full backup."
"They could support Linux OS primarily for servers."
"I don't see any room for improvement in the solution itself, but their marketing could be better. Dealers and customers aren't aware of this product or the company, so maybe they should concentrate more on marketing."
"I would like to see more integration with SIEM solutions."
"Its mailbox migration feature needs improvement."
"The solution should provide more integration with Teams and SharePoint Online to perform other tasks."
"In some instances, a customer is not necessarily backing up Microsoft 365. For instance, they might be backing up a large Oracle database. It would be nice if they could tweak it to compress the file, so it's easier to transfer a huge file."
"When you add a new site for backup, it gives you a notice that there is a new site, but the way you select that and configure that could be slightly better. It works, but it is not always very clear. For example, for the URL, you need to hover over the title or the name of the site. You should see it immediately on the screen. It should have a better user interface for selecting what you want to back up so that you get a more clear overview of the sites that are there and the ones that you want to combine in a backup. Its user interface should be more user-friendly. It has a lot of scrolling and doesn't give you a complete overview when needed. That's the main thing why it is not very user-friendly. It should have a better user interface."
"They should improve the backup and restoration time."
"The capacity storage is a challenge everywhere in the backup industry. The general feedback people are coming back to about this is that there is no deduplication based on it."
"It requires quite an amount of infrastructure. You have to set up the instance, and you need to know quite a bit about Microsoft 365 authentication. For some customers, it is a challenge."
"The solution needs to introduce more features."
"It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem."
