Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"I like that Backup Exec integrates with Microsoft Exchange. We can retrieve backups from the email boxes."
"It is a good backup tool."
"Good open file option feature, SQL agent, and EM agent."
"The interface, dashboard, and pricing are all perfect."
"It is one of the most stable backup solutions."
"The dashboard was good. I loved to see the maintenance dashboard every time I logged on. That was my first screen because it always gave me a reminder of how many days before my next renewal."
"This solution is not complex and you do not have to be too technical to use it."
"This solution has a very good technical support department that is very responsive."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"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."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"The console of Veritas Backup Exec is complex when compared to other software."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Veritas Backup Exec's dashboard feature could be enhanced."
"The solution could improve by having better documentation."
"There are some issues with the Backup Exec Library and the random picking of tapes."
"The solution lacked local support, which became an issue for us and our customers. They needed to have more presence on the ground."
"The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful."
"It is not a recommended software when it comes to large environments where there has to be a minimal Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and/or Recover Point Objective (RPO)."
