"The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services."
"The most valuable features are the automated backup, and that you are able to manage all of your devices centrally."
"I have found many of the backup options valuable such as logging the event backup and the ability to run an analysis of the backup before you start for problems."
"Data protection and ransomware protection are the most valuable features of the solution."
"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."
"It covers the need to block threats, investigate incidents, and ensure disaster recovery. This approach aligns well with current cybersecurity trends."
"I have experience with the technical team of the product, and I feel that they offer good support."
"We find the product to be very scalable."
"This covers the areas of backing up Office 365 that Microsoft does not include in its standard routine."
"The feature that I like the most is the system backup recovery from OneDrive."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is its performance. Additionally, the user interface and documentation are easy to use and navigate."
"The most valuable feature is the built-in integration with Office 365, which helps us protect email accounts and servers. We use it on virtual servers on the cloud with Azure, or we can use an agent on physical servers."
"Veeam makes modular solutions, so you can install Veeam Backup for Office 365 and Veeam Backup and Replication in one single server. You can do an all in one installation, and roll it out."
"Veeam Backup gives you the option to backup your data from the cloud to on-premises."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the replication functionality."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It could be a little more user-friendly. The technical support also should be improved."
"They should integrate the solution with Storage Area Network(SAN)."
"One of the areas where the product could be improved is its online cloud backup. I do appreciate the way the product is easy to navigate, however, sometimes I have difficulty managing the security permissions on my backups."
"Slow response from technical support."
"There is more room for improvement in the training."
"They could support Linux OS primarily for servers."
"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."
"I keep submitting a request for more flexible reporting. I'd like to create custom reports in my own way, rather than just combining the pre-defined modules."
"We would like to have a single management console for all of our backups."
"When you are working in the Cloud security is very important."
"The solution needs to introduce more features."
"This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."
"If clients are backing up onto tape, Veeam's newest versions don't really deal with that."
"While there really is nothing wrong with the product some small improvements in the interface could make it even easier to use."
"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."
"It needs to be able to integrate with other emailing systems, like Linux."
